Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

HeadlineNov 16, 2022

In Los Angeles, Jennifer Siebel Newsom took the stand Monday and Tuesday in Harvey Weinstein’s rape trial. Siebel Newson, who is a documentary filmmaker and the wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom, says Weinstein raped her in a hotel room in 2005 where he had lured her under the guise of a business meeting. Siebel Newsom is the fourth survivor to testify at Weinstein’s Los Angeles trial. He was already convicted of rape and criminal sexual assault in New York in 2020, though he is appealing that case.
