Kamala Harris Wants to Give A $6,000 Tax Credit to New Parents

Vice President Harris is starting to lay out her vision for the economy, and her agenda includes a $ 6,000 tax credit for parents of newborns.  The impact of this could be major—it would lift millions of children out of poverty and provide a needed helping hand to millions of families.    What Is a Tax Credit?

California Considers Legislation Concealing Students’ Gender Transitions From Parents
