California's tax and fee department has seized over $168M in illicit cannabis and tobacco products since 2019. We're ensuring the protection of LEGAL businesses by enforcing tax laws, removing illicit products, and protecting revenues that fund vital state programs.

Bonta: We identified three markets where they’re violating the law and the judge was persuaded by all of our arguments. So she’s issued an order blocking the merger. It’s very clear that Paramount and Warner Bros. can take no steps toward consummating the merger.

Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

We could all agree our parties have failed us by allowing the other side to get away with crimes without fear of prosecution for those crimes, & we must work to regain our lost power we gave to them by granting immunity by letting them claim Impeachment before prosecution or resignation for failing

We require contracts up front in every other aspect of our lives, but not for those who rule our lives in govt? We need to demand contracts in trade for our votes in advance with their written plan & auto-resignation clause if they fail ANY PROMISES We must demand abolishing IMPEACHMENT & PARDONS

If we continue to allow these CRIMES. we are proven to be INCAPABLE of self-governing with representatives we are failing to hold accountable to OUR CITIZEN LAWS. while allowing their dual justice to avoid prosecution with fake DoJ Impeachment Rules that never became LAW so we CAN'T PROSECUTE CRIMES

No prosecution laws for politicians = NO ability ENFORCE OUR LAWS = NO DEMOCRACY No ability to hold our people in govt accountable to their JOBS nor ability to FIRE THEM OR PROSECUTE THEIR CRIMES = NO POWER TO SELF-GOVERN = NO DEMOCRACY We are causing this by not standing up TO THEM ALL!!

A new Senate investigation says JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank and Bank of America processed massive sums tied to Jeffrey Epstein despite glaring red flags. Powerful institutions helped keep his operation running and every one of them must be held accountable. Follow the money, release everything.

Today, for the first time in New York City history, 2,000 two year-olds received offers for FREE 2-K. A big step for those who take baby steps. A big step towards a City every New Yorker can afford.

Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.
