State of Affairs: Gov. Brown's bullet-train dream deferred? GOP targets House Dems, Calexit 2.0
It's been a pivotal week for politics in the Golden State. Here's what you may have missed.

It's been a pivotal week for politics in the Golden State. Here's what you may have missed.

  • Remember Cal Exit? Well, meet Cal Exit 2.0. A new effort to secede California from the union is advancing. 
  • Democrats aren't the only ones hoping to flip some seats this midterm. The GOP's setting its sights on a few purple districts.
