Today on AirTalk, California approved a $3 billion loan for Medi-Cal amidst looming federal cuts. Want to get paid to be politically engaged and hold your public officials accountable? A local initiative called "LA Documenters" will train and pay you to take notes at public meetings. We'll be discussing the outdoor art exhibition, Desert X, which explores the legacy of land art in the Coachella Valley. Forever 21 opened its doors in Highland Park in 1984 and became a mall staple but as malls themselves become more obsolete by the day, the clothing company filed for bankruptcy protection yet again. What are the factors that might finally do the fast fashion company in? Today for our look into SoCal history, we're appreciating L.A.'s rich history of Spanish-language news weekly publications.
