Why don't California Democrats have a plan for the state they've run for 16 years?

California Democrats have had a monopoly on state power for the past 16 years, with legislative margins so wide that they don’t have to worry about Republicans holding up their agenda. Despite this, they still insist they need to “take a moment” to come up with a plan for the state. That was how California […]

California gas prices drop 17 cents. See what's ‘driving the relief at the pump'

Gas prices have fallen across the country over the past week, including in California, according to fuel experts. “Gasoline prices fell in every state over the last week, while diesel declined in nearly every state, and the national average dropped below $4 per gallon for the first time since early August,” Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said in a Monday, Nov. 9, news release. However, California drivers are still paying the highest average prices in the nation, despite the recent decline. What’s behind the decrease at the pump? Could California gas prices continue to drop and could that mean a less-expensive Thanksgiving travel-wise? Here’s what fuel experts said: What are current gas prices across the US? The national average for regular gasoline was $4.01 per gallon on Monday, Nov. 9, according to AAA. “Gas prices have been going down for nearly two weeks, as crude oil has dipped back into the high $80 – low $90 per barrel range,” AAA said in a Thursday, Nov. 5, news release. Business Insider reports that prices have dropped to just over $90 , as of early Monday afternoon. Despite the recent drop, AAA said, “pump prices remain the highest

This law was supposed to force more Californians into mental health treatment. What happened?

This story was originally published by CalMatters . Sign up for their newsletters. By Marisa Kendall and Jocelyn Wiener , CalMatters Californians braced for major upheaval three years ago when Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law meant to bring people with severe mental illnesses and addictions off the street and into involuntary treatment. Families who championed the measure hoped it would be the answer to their prayers — a tool that finally would compel their loved ones to receive treatment through conservatorship. Disability rights advocates who opposed the law warned it would traumatize large numbers of people by forcibly medicating them and removing their rights to make decisions about their own care. County behavioral health officials worried the legislation would unleash a torrent of new referrals on programs that didn’t have the resources to keep up. And leaders of already overcrowded hospital emergency rooms and psychiatric facilities braced themselves for a large influx of new patients. So far, little of that seems to have happened. In fact, data obtained by CalMatters shows that, in most of the state’s largest counties, the number of conservatorships has barely budged. “It was not at all as big an impact as we thought it

Huang scandal collides with budget season

SCANDAL-NOMICS — It’s not often that one extramarital affair has an impact on the global economy. But Jensen Huang ’s admission of infidelity with an alleged Chinese spy has sent stock prices of the world’s second-most valuable company by market cap — the California-based chip manufacturer Nvidia — tumbling. The development is reverberating in Sacramento, renewing fears about a potential AI bubble burst upending California's economy. “We have for some time been concerned that the broader stock market is experiencing a speculative bubble,” said California Legislative Analyst Gabriel Petek , whose office is aiming to release its annual fall report on the state of the budget Nov. 18. “If the movement in Nvidia’s stock price were to become part of a broader reversal in the stock market, that would be problematic for state revenues, income taxes in particular.” RELATED: “ Nvidia sued over Jensen Huang’s alleged spy affair ” by POLITICO’s Andrew Atterbury Nvidia’s fortunes are tied to California’s because the state budget is uniquely dependent on taxes from corporations and high income earners. A booming AI industry has boosted both figures as top employees receive massive pay packages that include lucrative stock options, leading to higher-than-expected tax revenues that

California roads kill 44,000 deer a year, UC Davis estimates. Highway 50 is a hotspot

Vehicles kill an estimated 44,000 mule deer and 780 mountain lions on California roads each year, according to a new UC Davis report that identified hundreds of wildlife collision hotspots across the state, including a stretch of Highway 50 in El Dorado County. The 2026 California Roadkill Hotspots Report, released Tuesday by the university’s Road Ecology Center, found that wildlife collisions remained a persistent problem despite growing investments in crossings designed to help animals move safely across highways. Researchers argued that California needs more roadside fencing to prevent animals from entering traffic, particularly where existing bridges and culverts could provide safe passage beneath highways. “But just building a crossing doesn’t mean wildlife will use it — they’ll try to cross wherever they are. Fencing is the answer to reducing roadkill, not crossings alone,” said Fraser Shilling, director of the UC Davis Road Ecology Center. Thousands of animals killed on California roads Researchers estimated that vehicles killed more than 44,000 mule deer annually on California freeways, highways and major paved roads between 2016 and 2024. That represented nearly 10% of the state’s estimated 475,000 mule deer and more than four times the number reported killed by hunters in 2024. The report

Polly Klaas' sisters show support for Gov. Newsom's decision to commute death sentences

The group Clemency California and from murder victim's families are supporting the Governor Gavin Newsom in granting universal clemency. They're also urging the California Supreme Court to act quickly to approve his request. In a letter to the governor they also are asking to reallocate $150 million from death penalty costs to trauma recovery centers and flexible assistance for survivors. Among the families were Polly Klaas' sisters. Klaas was kidnapped, raped and killed in 1993 in Petaluma, California when she was just 12 years old. Her killer, Richard Allen Davis, was sentenced to death. Polly's sister Jess Nichol said she initially wanted the death penalty for him.

When victims are this divided the death penalty should not be the default answer," she said. Klaas' other sister, Annie

If Texas Follows California on a Power-Price Freeze, the Blackout Risk Is Later Winters

Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa pledges a Day One emergency order to freeze electricity rates. Texas households already pay more per kilowatt-hour than they did in 2020, but far less per kilowatt-hour than Californians, and ERCOT’s January outlook is comfortable. California’s 2000–01 record is a warning, not a prediction: freeze retail prices while costs rise, and the damage shows up in insolvency, weaker investment and later winters.
