We’re leading a coalition of 17 AGs in support of journalists and protesters challenging DHS’s dangerous use of force during the Los Angeles protests this past summer.   We will continue to oppose threats to free, safe speech wherever and whenever they arise.

Housing + federal accountability.

The Trump Administration is attempting to illegally restrict funding for HUDs flagship program that helps communities combat homelessness and provide affordable, safe, and stable housing to our most vulnerable residents. We’re suing.

No company is above the law. We will continue to stand up for renters, protect competition in our economy, and take on anyone who uses illegal tactics to coordinate rents and put housing further out of reach for hardworking families. content.govdelivery.com/accounts/CAO...

Reactions to the sponsorship seem really negative, but it was a typically great CicLAvia, people seemed to love the sponsored elements, and I had no idea that a new season of Stranger Things was about to start, so 🤷‍♂️.

Angelenos, what did you think about today’s Netflix-sponsored Stranger Things CicLAvia? Would you be okay with more branded activations if it meant we’d have more open streets events? Share your photos!

Our museums and libraries are how we pass along our knowledge, heritage, and history to each successive generation. I’m proud to protect these important institutions from President Trump’s misguided attacks.

Excellent News: We’ve secured a final ruling blocking the Trump Administration’s illegal attempt to defund several critical government agencies—including the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Interesting thread, and I think potentially much more important than it may seem.

We’re issuing guidance on protections under CA law for patients seeking gender-affirming care and medical professionals who provide it. California hospitals and health providers have a legal obligation to provide timely, safe, and equitable access to healthcare services free from discrimination.

Housing-related legal alert!

Incredible new frontiers opening within Wife Guydom.

For 15 paragraphs, this article does not acknowledge that *someone* shot the victim. Then, in the 16th paragraph, in passive voice, it explains that “[t]he shot was fired from inside the house by one of the residents.” What a strange way to report on the world! abcnews.go.com/US/cleaning-...

books are absolutely SICK bro

The Trump Administration is tying itself in knots in its attempt to justify the unjustifiable—the deployment of military troops to American streets in peacetime. We urge the Supreme Court to rein in this lawlessness.

The Trump Admin is fighting tooth and nail to stop vital food assistance from reaching low-income families Today, we’re back in court because the Trump Administration has threatened states that have issued full November SNAP benefits. California will not back down. oag.ca.gov/news/press-r...

This is THE season for California gardeners of native plants. Join us! You’ll save money and love your yard.

Once again, a court has firmly rejected the President’s militarized vision for America’s future. We celebrate this victory with eyes wide open and firm resolve to see this fight through to the end.

👀 “Today’s decision is a win for the rule of law, for the constitutional values that govern our democracy, and for the American people,” said Attorney General Bonta. “Once again, a court has firmly rejected the President’s militarized vision for America’s future.” oag.ca.gov/news/press-r...

#NEWS: The court has agreed to resume consideration of our case to block Trump’s federalization and deployment of CA national guard in Los Angeles.    This is good news for California and democracy. Our National Guard is not the Trump Administration’s personal army.

Can we please correct Google and Apple Maps to say “Gulf of Mexico” now please?

California: remember, if you’re in line at 8 PM, stay in line!  Cast your ballot and make your voice heard. #VoteCalifornia #Election2025

We’re releasing new guidance to CA healthcare providers to ensure compliance with #SB81, a new law by Senator Jesse Arreguin to enhance privacy protections for immigrant patients and ensure that they can receive healthcare they need without fear.   Hospitals must remain safe spaces to seek care.

Today, not one, but two federal district courts determined that the Trump Administration acted unlawfully when it chose to suspend SNAP benefits for the month of November. The Trump Administration now has no excuse for not funding November SNAP benefits. oag.ca.gov/news/press-r...

The Trump Admin believes it can keep California’s National Guard federalized and deployed wherever, forever, and for any purpose — no further justification necessary. That is just not true, and we’re asking the court to issue a ruling that says as much without delay. oag.ca.gov/news/press-r...

Let me be clear: SNAP benefits have NEVER been interrupted in previous government shutdowns. The Trump Administration chose this.

Food banks like the LA Regional Food Bank are preparing for more people seeking food assistance as the Trump Admin unlawfully allows SNAP benefits to lapse. We’re suing to force Trump & USDA to use funds they have to cover SNAP benefits in November. We won’t sit idly by as Californians go hungry.

The folks at @latimes.com do some of America's best climate journalism. Also, 13% of wildfire stories mentioning climate change is not nearly good enough. Some tough love (and advice) for my former employer: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/tough-love...

And the bathrooms apparently aren’t even code compliant.

The people who still call me “Mr Mayor” around town are almost entirely grocery workers, crossing guards, and bus operators. I take that as a sign of success in what I wanted to do with my brief time in politics, but then again I lost after one term. In short, idk, go volunteer to knock on doors.

👀 From the press release: “Some California landlords have tried to get away with illegal rent increases by shifting utilities and other fees to tenants and pretending those new charges are not ‘rent’ under the TPA. That violates the law.”

Today is a tiny, personal liberation day. Good bye, Amazon!

From Trump to U.S. DOJ, the entirety of the federal govt is attacking gender-affirming care—even in states, like CA, that support the rights of transgender youth to live their lives as their authentic selves. We will not bow down to any of those unlawful actions, no matter where they are happening.

No matter what the President says, San Francisco is not asking for the National Guard to come. There is no lawful basis to deploy the National Guard to San Francisco. If the President tries to deploy the National Guard to San Francisco, we’ll see him in court.

STOP talking trash about apples. Cosmic Crisp are DELICIOUS Gala are SERVICEABLE Stayman are PERFECTLY CRONCHY AND SWEET Honeycrisp are EXPENSIVE BUT GREAT Granny Smith are SOUR IF THAT’S YOUR THING McIntosh are TASTY BUT OFTEN MUSHY Red Delicious Golden Delicious are SERVED IN CAFETERIAS

Trump wants an army that serves a King, but in America, in our democracy, our military does not police the people. I urge the Supreme Court to reject the President’s latest bid to defy our constitutional norms and grab power he does not have. oag.ca.gov/news/press-r...

Thank you to all of the flag-waving patriots peacefully raising their voices today to reaffirm our nation’s commitment to democracy and rejection of tyranny. Our government is of, for, and by the people. And in our American democracy, people power is the most potent power there is.

#CulverCity is very on brand today with a large #NoKings demonstration and an open streets event within walking distance of each other.

Propaganda via mad libs

Today, people in California and across the nation will raise their voices—reminding all that in America, we shall have no tyrants, kings or monarchs. Ever.

No coincidence that California has gone three years without a Flex Alert. It's all the batteries! www.latimes.com/environment/... via @hayleysmith.bsky.social

We’re co-leading 20 AGs in defense of 1st Amendment protections for international students & faculty. Colleges and universities are meant to be places of learning, growth, and robust civic discourse. CA will not allow students to be silenced, and we’ll continue to stand up for the rights of all.
