The Trump administration continues to pursue opportunities for his Big Oil friends to profit at the cost of our environment and public health. But California is not backing down. We will continue using every legal tool necessary to protect our state. We have the facts and the law on our side.

The California Supreme Court unanimously ruled that sheriff Bianco broke the law when he seized 650,000 ballots. He must also comply with my lawful directives around his unfounded Prop 50 investigation. California’s Constitution was upheld. No county sheriff will unlawfully seize your ballot again.

We just BLOCKED Trump’s attempt to interfere with your right to vote by mail. The U.S. Supreme Court DENIED Trump’s request to revive his illegal Executive Order targeting vote-by-mail ballots. That means our injunction stands. TRUMP has been SHUT DOWN. Your vote-by-mail ballot remains protected.

Once again, the Trump Administration is putting oil and gas companies ahead of our health, our environment, and the communities that depend on federal and tribal lands. We won’t let corporate special interests profit while states, tribes, and taxpayers pay the price.

For more than half a century, the EGA has protected irreplaceable wildlife and habitats. Now, Trump is attempting to dismantle these protections, opening the door to further species decline. I’m co-leading a coalition of 21 AGs in taking him to court to protect our nation’s most vulnerable species.

Human trafficking is a profound violation of human rights that has no place in California. We will continue to dismantle sex trafficking networks by cutting off the demand and supporting survivors. When we work together, there is no limit to what we can accomplish to make California safer.

Paramount wants to play games in the court of public opinion, but we’re here to enforce the rules in the court of law. Instead of good-faith negotiations, they chose leaks, lies, delays, and threats. Until they take the allegations in our complaint seriously, the board says: GO DIRECTLY TO COURT.

The Paramount–WBD merger isn't about creating better entertainment. It's about cutting costs & squeezing workers. Writers, actors, and crew will have fewer employers to work for, which means less bargaining power & lower wages. State AGs are stepping in to fight back.
