What a week it's been: The death of California’s longtime Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the appointment of Democratic strategist Laphonza Butler to fill her seat and the ouster of Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
What a week it’s been in California politics. Since the last time I was in your inbox just seven days ago, a string of historic events has unfolded upending the Golden State’s political landscape: The death of California’s longtime Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the appointment of Democratic strategist and labor leader Laphonza Butler to fulfill Feinstein’s term and the ouster of Rep. Kevin McCarthy — California’s most powerful Republican — from the office of speaker of the House.
Whether Butler will serve 15 months and then step down or enter the race herself has broad implications for the campaign strategies of the three prominent Democrats already running for Senate: Reps. Barbara Lee of Oakland, Katie Porter of Irvine and Adam B. Schiff of Burbank. Butler has deep ties to organizations that could help her mount a serious fundraising operation.

Nonreligious struggle to find their voice and place in Indian society and politicsNones, or those unaffiliated with religion in India, account for less than 1% in a nation of 1.4 billion. But the diversity among the unaffiliated is as striking as that of the country's faith traditions. India has atheists, agnostics, rationalists and those who are spiritual, but not religious. Many of the country's faith traditions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism also have a rich history of atheism and agnosticism as well. In several Indian states, atheism and rationalism have also been closely linked with social justice movements for gender and caste equality. In addition, the surge of Hindu nationalism has shrunk the space for the nones more than ever before, activists say.
