β€œShuttering this program would do nothing to prevent waste, fraud, and abuse or improve government efficiency. This is a program with bipartisan support that is focused on protecting lives and livelihoods from flooding, wildfires, earthquakes, and other natural disasters.

GREAT NEWS: We’ve secured a court order ensuring disaster relief funding will not be misspent as our lawsuit protecting the bipartisan BRIC program from a Trump Administration attack continues.

The President keeps breaking the law, and we keep holding him accountable in court.

β€œFor each dollar the state has spent in litigation with Trump, it has recouped $33,600 in funds that the federal government has tried to take away from the Golden State, according to Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta.”

The federal government might be content to forgo its duty to serve the people, but the State of California never will.

Over $168 Billion in State Funding Saved by California DOJ's lawsuits against the Trump Administration

Over $168 Billion in State Funding Saved by California DOJ's lawsuits against the Trump Administration

The Trump Administration is flooding the zone with near-constant attempts to cut off funding for our state and trample on the rights of our people.

My office is working around the clock to defend the Golden State from these attacks.

And it’s paying off.

Two sisters in DCF custody since mother was detained by ICE in May in Worcester are missing, officials say - The Boston Globe The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has released a missing poster of both sisters to help in the search.

Do you remember the horrific abduction in Worcester, MA where protestors clashed with ICE as they ripped a woman away from her family? The horror continues.

The woman’s 13 and 17 year old daughters were placed in foster care. They are now both missing. 1/

States fight federal effort to collect personal data of food stamp users : The NPR Politics Podcast A coalition of 21 states and Washington, D.C. is challenging the Trump administration's demands that states hand over the personal data of people who participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistan...

The Trump Administration’s demand to collect SNAP data isn’t about preventing waste, fraud, or abuse. It’s about weaponizing personal and sensitive data to intimidate vulnerable communities.

AG BONTA, COALITION SECURE MAJOR WIN AS EDUCATION DEPARTMENT RESTORES PREVIOUSLY WITHHELD FUNDING "Let's be clear: This funding should never have been frozen in the first place - that's why we filed our lawsuit."

The Trump Administration has officially reversed course on its blatantly illegal, misguided effort to freeze critical education funds weeks before the school year was set to start.

President Trump continues to weaponize private and sensitive personal information β€” not to root out fraud, but to create a culture of fear where people are unwilling to apply for essential services. We’re talking about kids not getting school lunch; fire victims not accessing emergency services; and other devastating, and deadly, consequences. That is Trump’s vision for America.

We’re suing the Trump Admin over its illegal demands that states hand over sensitive personal data of SNAP recipients.

This unprecedented demand violates all kinds of state and federal privacy laws and breaks the trust between the federal govt and the people it serves.
