Headlines From The Times - What Larry Elder stands for
California’s Democratic governor, Gavin Newsom, faces a once-unthinkable scenario: a recall. Election day is Sept. 14, just a week away. If he loses, his putative replacement would be one of the most conservative governors California has ever seen.
How did California, one of the bluest states, get to the point where a Republican might win the governor’s seat? How did that candidate, radio talk show host Larry Elder, become the top challenger? And what would Elder do if he wins?
Today, we start a two-part series on the California recall election, starting with a focus on Elder: his life, his beliefs and his sudden political rise. Our guest is L.A. Times columnist Erika D. Smith.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S5 E13: Andrew Butt, Enable
Andrew Butt always dreamed of being an airline pilot, and his passion outside of tech is flying. He has spent more time in helicopters over planes, and he enjoys that more. His family relocated to San Francisco 18 months ago, and they have been pretty much under lock down since that time. He and his wife have been doing the normal things during lock down - surfing the web, hiking, etc... but mostly keeping to themselves.
In flying school, he met his co-founder growing a distribution company. They discovered a problem first hand, around trading agreements and incentives between companies. So much so, that they found a need in the industry and set off to build a product to solve the problem.
This is the creation story of Enable.

What Next - What Next | Daily News and Analysis – The Texans Fighting for Abortion Access
Texas has passed a new law banning abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, enforced by citizens launching lawsuits against anyone suspected of “aiding and abetting” the procedures. And the Supreme Court has declined to stop it - effectively ending the precedent set by Roe v. Wade. How are Texas organizations supporting reproductive rights adapting?
