While Republican AGs do nothing to push back on Trump's lawlessness, AG @krismayes.bsky.social and her fellow Dem AGs are going to court and winning BILLIONS for their states.

One of my office's top priorities is combating the fentanyl crisis. We want everyone in Arizona to know how to protect themselves and their loved ones from this deadly drug. Join us every #MythMonday to learn the facts behind common fentanyl myths.

Arizona AG Stands Victorious as Court Denies CBR Cord Blood Bank's Dismissal Attempt in Consumer Fraud Case The Arizona AG's office reported a court denied CBR Systems' motion to dismiss a fraud lawsuit involving misleading cord blood banking claims and unsafe transport practices.

As long as I am Attorney General, any company that preys on parents during one of the most important moments of their lives will be held accountable. We will continue fighting to ensure CBR answers for its actions.

Nearly 1 million Arizonans face food insecurity without SNAP payments SNAP benefits still have not been distributed, even though the Trump administration agreed to partially fund the program by court order.

Despite multiple court rulings, the Trump administration is holding SNAP funding hostage cruelly and illegally. Yesterday, we asked the Court to compel the federal government to pay full benefits. Learn more at www.azag.gov/press-releas....

Today, the Supreme Court seemed very skeptical of Trump's tariffs. Glad to have been joined by my colleagues, @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov and @agdanrayfield.bsky.social for oral arguments on this critically important case.

Oregon Attorney General: Trump's Solicitor General looked Justice Roberts squarely in the eyes and said the American people, not foreign countries, are going to pay 30 to 80% of these tariffs. And then he had the gall to say that these are not taxes on the American people

Trump’s taxes are raising costs on all of us. And if a President is allowed to illegally implement tariffs on a whim, without input from our elected representativesβ€”we do not have free market capitalismβ€”we have a mafia state.

I heard from Sun City West residents last week about how rising utility rates are hurting their community. Arizona families are already paying sky-high electricity bills, and that’s why I’m fighting APS’s outrageous rate hike.

Mike Johnson won't swear in Adelita Grijalva. So we're suing. Arizona's attorney general explains how Johnson is using the newly elected Democrat as a pawn in his shutdown fight, and keeping the Epstein files secret.

Let’s be blunt: this is taxation without representation.

That’s why, today, alongside Congresswoman-elect Grijalva, we sued the House of Representatives.

Happy to join @briefingwithpsaki.bsky.social to discuss Arizona's lawsuit against Speaker Mike Johnson. This is not just a legal battle, it's a fight to ensure representation in Congress to the more than 800,000 Arizona voters who elected Grijalva.

American farmers are hurting. Trump's trade war is making it worse Farmers are struggling this fall despite a bountiful harvest. Production costs are high, crop prices are low and the trade war has closed off one of their biggest markets.

Farmers across the country are hurting and Trump's illegal tariff taxes are making things even worse. Rural economies are in deep trouble because of the President's reckless trade policy.

I'm suing to stop this madness.
