A third of Californian taxpayers could lose thousands of dollars from the repeal of one deduction under a GOP proposal released Wednesday, setting up another political dilemma for California Republicans facing tough reelection battles next year as Democrats work to win back the House of Representatives.

GOP leaders touted "unity" behind a tax reform framework Wednesday, but the effort is likely to face many hurdles working with a president seeking bipartisan buy-in.

Despite two White House meetings with bipartisan House members this month, one Democratic lawmaker questions the sincerity of President Trump's effort after GOP leaders held a private "retreat" to review the framework.

House Democrats introduced legislation on Thursday to prevent Trump administration officials from using private jets on the taxpayers' dime as multiple Cabinet heads come under fire for the practice.

Two groups of Democrats unveiled bills with correspondingly flashy titles.

Progressive Reps. Ted Lieu (Calif.), Ruben Gallego (Ariz.), Jamie Raskin (Md.) and Pramila Jayapal (Wash.) put forth the Swamp Flyers Act, while centrist Democratic Reps. Tom O'Halleran (Ariz.) and Kurt Schrader (Ore.) offered the Taxpayers Don't Incur Meaningless Expenses (Taxpayers DIME) Act.

Krystal Banks has been a bail bondsman in Detroit for nearly two decades. During that time, she's seen a lot — and she's made some good money, too.

Banks says criminal defendants have left tens of thousands of dollars with her when they skipped bail for a court hearing. In such cases, the money goes to the county for a fine.

But Banks fears her livelihood could be in jeopardy, along with that of 79 other Michigan bail bond companies, as a result of a bill pending in the U.S. House that seeks to replace cash bonds for defendants with supervised release.
