Resistance State

State Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de León is proposing an end run for Californians to deduct the full value of their state and local taxes from their federal tax bills.

The Trump administration is making good on a campaign promise to exploit troves of offshore energy.

The head of federal immigration enforcement said he will send more officers to California if the state stands by its new 'sanctuary' law.

"Please, call your Republican representative and tell them: 'Vote no on this tax monstrosity,'" Gov. Jerry Brown tells Californians.

Gov. Jerry Brown's chief fiscal advisor says the Republican tax plan will raise the cost of homeownership by scaling back the mortgage interest deduction, making it harder to buy property in California given the state's high cost of housing.

For the fourth time this year, Congress has prevented the Trump administration from arresting medical marijuana users. But for California medical growers and users to feel safe from federal prosecution, Congress will need to act a fifth time before the end of 2017. 

The Trump Administration sent letters to several more California jurisdictions it says are running afoul of regulations to receive funding because of their policies on sanctuary. Among the targets: the cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco.

The state of California hopes to pause Trump administrations rules that allow employers to opt out of birth control coverage through company health insurance plans.

Democrats are taking their concerns about the GOP tax plan to congressional delegates, highlighting the pain it would inflict on homeowners, college students and even victims of the Northern California wildfires.

All 14 California House delegates voted today to back a budget blueprint that could eliminate state and local tax deductions, a move that would cost one out of three taxpayers thousands of dollars.
