(Subscription required) Gov. Gavin Newsom’s latest budget proposal, shaped by the realities of an expected $27.6 billion deficit, cuts $97 million from California’s trial courts starting in July, according to a summary released Friday. The plan, known as the May Revise, also calls on the state’s appellate courts and judicial branch administration to join other state departments in reducing their operating budgets by 7.95%.

Government and private sector researchers worry U.S. adversaries could use the models, which mine vast amounts of text and images to summarize information and generate content, to wage aggressive cyber attacks or even create potent biological weapons.

The consequential cases, with decisions arriving by late June or early July, include three affecting former President Donald J. Trump, two on abortion, two on guns, three on the First Amendment rights of social media companies and three on the administrative state.

The California Supreme Court is set to weigh in on whether a ballot measure, which would be another step before allowing tax increases, can be placed before voters in November as Democrats in the state voice their opposition.
