In a Standard-Speaker piece about gerrymandering, New York Times columnist Gail Collins quoted Prof. Ken Miller: “There was a lot of expectation the Republicans were going to exploit the process and that would give them control of the House. But it looks like the Democrats will come out at least equal and maybe advantaged.”

In an op-ed for the Los Angeles Times, Prof. Minxin Pei said that whether or not China—the world’s second-largest economy—sides with Russia in its war on Ukraine, it will pay a hefty price. “Short-term inconveniences pale in comparison with potential long-term risks and costs if China fails to strike a delicate balance between supporting Russia, its strategic partner of convenience, and preventing ties with the West from collapsing completely.”

The Los Angeles Times cited Prof. Wendy Lower, director of CMC’s Mgrublian Center for Human Rights, in an article about how Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has affected the Ukrainian Jewish community.

An ABC7 Los Angeles story about how Russia’s invasion of Ukraine could impact the Southern California economy quoted Prof. Manfred Keil, director of CMC’s Lowe Institute of Political Economy, on agriculture. Keil did not expect a big impact to wheat, one of Russia’s key exports, in the United States. While European markets are more closely impacted by Russian exports, Keil said, “American farmers will benefit from this.”

A CBS Los Angeles news story quoted Prof. Jack Pitney about how Putin’s invasion of Ukraine had been predicted: "He's been indicating for quite some time this is the way he wanted to go.”

In part one of a two-part series on growth prospects of the Inland Empire, Prof. Manfred Keil and Robert Kleinhenz of the Inland Empire Economic Partnership wrote: “The Inland Empire is among the nation’s largest based on absolute measures such as population and GDP, but it ranks in the bottom third in terms of the economic well-being of its residents as measured by income per capita. … Now is the time to develop long run goals and associated strategies for the region to move up the economic ladder and improve the well-being of its residents.”

In a Governing piece about why the president’s party almost always loses seats in midterms, Prof. Andrew Busch was quoted on the motivation of the party that lost the presidential election. “Even if the population is fairly divided on whether the president is going a good job, the people who are unhappy are more motivated,” he said.

Prof. Tamara Venit-Shelton was interviewed by Spectrum News 1 for a story about Pío Pico State Historic Park in Whittier, Calif. “Going back to the history of California and seeing it as a place that was multi-racial, that was polyglot, that was led by mixed-race people, led by Black people like Pío Pico, is a way of in fact reclaiming that history for the people who live in both Mexico and the United States today,” she said. “It’s important to be able to see your own roots and your own self reflected in history.”

Prof. Minxin Pei wrote an opinion piece for Bloomberg suggesting that China should remember the lessons of Nixon’s visit in 1972.

CNBC ran a story about the wave of House retirements in California as the Democrats scramble for control of Congress, which included substantial commentary from Prof. Jack Pitney. Regarding Rep. Devin Nunes’ resignation, he said, the special election for Nunes’ current district will give Republicans a “much better shot than they would have under the new map” that debuts in November.
