Gavin Newsom

Democrats in the California legislature met over the weekend to negotiate new congressional maps that could potentially play a large role in deciding control of the U.S. House during the midterms.

Gov. Gavin Newsom says he’ll ask voters to decide on new districts in November as California seeks to challenge GOP-controlled states redrawing maps to favor Republicans in the midterms.

As Texas moves forward with an off-cycle redistricting to shore up Republicans’ narrow House majority, Gov. Gavin Newsom is plotting a Democratic response in California. But the state’s independent redistricting commission is a major obstacle.

Trump’s call to enforce bans on encampments echoes Newsom’s policy. But the president wants to upend two other core tenants of California’s homelessness response.

As the Trump administration cracks down on undocumented immigrants deep in the country, it’s sending Marines and soldiers to patrol the border.

The budget deal between Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Legislature forgoes or delays many of Newsom’s proposed cuts but the deficit is only likely to grow.

President Trump had a legitimate interest in protecting federal employees when he deployed the National Guard to Los Angeles, an appeals court ruled.

California’s main source of homelessness funding would drop from $1 billion last year to $0 this year in the proposed state budget.

Many undocumented immigrants have long feared that their Medi-Cal data would be used against them. Newsom calls it “an abuse.”

Trump signed measures today revoking waivers for the state’s mandates that clean up car and truck exhaust and ramp up sales of electric vehicles. California and 10 other states immediately sued and the governor ordered the air board to craft a new mandate.

California is suing the Trump administration again — this time, in response to the president sending the national guard into Los Angeles over protests.

Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed major cuts to Medi-Cal and other social programs to close a $12 billion deficit. Democrats in the state Legislature are pushing back, proposing more borrowing.
