Ever since Franklin D. Roosevelt’s first term in the 1930s, every U.S. president has been assessed 100 days into his tenure. It’s just a marker, but one that’s been used for nearly 100 years to analyze what the current administration has accomplished in its first few months. Now it is President Donald Trump’s turn, again.
Our partners in the California Newsroom and the Texas Newsroom, a consortium of public radio stations and nonprofit news outlets, want to hear from you. Wherever you live in California, we want to hear about how the recent actions and decisions by the president and his team have affected you and where you live.
We’re gathering voices to understand your hopes, concerns and questions about what has happened in the last few months and what it might mean for the next few years. Your responses may be featured — only with your permission — in upcoming political coverage about how Californians and Texans are viewing the second Trump presidency.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
