The largest cut to food assistance since the program began in 1964 is now law — and millions of Americans are already feeling it. In California alone, participation has dropped by approximately 300,000 people — and experts warn it could get worse.

San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan is running for governor — and he's bringing his pitch directly to ethnic and community media across California. In this summary of his sit-down interview, we break down where Mahan stands on the issues hitting California communities hardest: immigration reform and ICE accountability, the housing and affordability crisis he says drove him into the race, Medicaid cuts and expanding healthcare access, and the role of AI and tech in California's future. Mahan positions himself as the only millennial in the race and an anti-special-interest outsider — but can he make that case stick? We break down what he said and what it means for California voters.

California voters are sounding off on the issues that matter most — housing affordability, healthcare access, immigration, and mental health services. And the candidates are listening. As the gubernatorial race heats up, we're cutting through the noise to bring you the key takeaways from one of California's most prominent voices on education and public welfare — and what he believes the next governor must prioritize.

Five years after the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act was signed into law, hate-fueled incidents against Asian Americans and other minority communities remain at alarming levels — nearly triple pre-pandemic rates.

In this video, we break down what the data is telling us, why civil rights leaders say anti-immigrant rhetoric, online extremism, and public fear continue to drive harassment and violence, and what communities are doing to fight back.

Georgekutty is back — and for the first time, he is scared. The Drishyam 3 trailer dropped this week and the internet is losing it. Mohanlal returns as the iconic Georgekutty, and the stakes have never been higher. Police are looking to reopen the murder case, with one chilling detail standing out — an officer notes that Georgekutty always anticipates their moves. But this time, even he may not be ready for what is coming. What made the original Drishyam so legendary was watching a man who always had a plan. Drishyam 3 asks one terrifying question: what happens when that plan runs out? The film releases May 21st — on Mohanlal's birthday. If you have seen Drishyam 1 and 2, clear your schedule.
