The sprawling California legislation offers protection to whistleblowers and citizens. The coming weeks could decide its fate.

The vice president must defend her California roots and record against attacks by the Trump campaign. Voters and politicians in the swing states of Michigan and Arizona say that may not be the deciding factor.

So many intense wildfires all at once require an intricate chess game for maneuvering firefighters and equipment around the U.S.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom and fellow Democrats in the Legislature tend to govern by decree, a habit they've criticized in former President Donald Trump.

State funds to legally advocate for unaccompanied immigrant children could soon dry up.

The overall number of 4-year-olds in transitional kindergarten has increased. But as the program is being phased in, the percentage of eligible children enrolling has dropped.
