The push to expand the child tax credit is more bipartisan than ever — but a clear solution to stop it from being slashed in half is still far off. Republicans and Democrats have been juggling proposals for the credit — currently a $2,000-per-child tax incentive — as Congress renegotiates the country’s tax structure. Lawmakers told The 19th they are anxious to pass something this year before the existing bill sunsets this fall and reverts the credit to a baseline $1,000.
Gov. Gavin Newsom signed new legislation on Monday that will provide more than $170 million in state funding to help prevent wildfires while signing an order aimed at speeding up the work by easing environmental permitting. The funding — which the Democratic governor said was part of a broader effort to better protect communities ahead of peak fire season — comes as the state is under extraordinary pressure after the January infernos that devastated Los Angeles communities.
Public officials in 16 states and the District of Columbia sued the Trump administration Thursday to restore access to pandemic relief aid for schools, saying the Education Department's abrupt halt of hundreds of millions of dollars of promised funding will force cuts to vital services. The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan by a coalition of 16 Democratic attorneys general, led by New York’s Letitia James and including Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford, plus Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, also a Democrat. It claims the administration's refusal to release the aid violates federal law because it reversed a prior decision to allow states to access the money through March 2026.
April 1 has come and gone, and from here on out, it’s all downhill — literally and figuratively — for Nevada’s snowpack. Snowpacks are Mother Nature’s reservoirs, natural repositories that slowly release water downstream into lakes, reservoirs and sinks. April 1 is historically the date in Nevada and across the Eastern Sierra that most snowpacks hold their highest water content.
