If you or someone you know has been harassed or victimized by Grok and xAI, please file a report with my office at oag.ca.gov/report.

Grok AI has been producing deepfake nonconsensual intimate images used to harass women across the internet.

This is unacceptable. We’re demanding immediate answers from xAI on their plan to stop the creation & spread of this content.

We’ll use all tools at our disposal to keep Californians safe.

NEW: We’re suing to block the Trump Admin’s unlawful attempt to impose so-called “gender-ideology” restrictions on HHS grant recipients.

These changes are yet another effort by Trump to unlawfully and maliciously target transgender, nonbinary, intersex, and gender nonconforming individuals.

California is not playing games when it comes to vital transportation dollars that support our public infrastructure, and we will continue taking the President to court each time he weaponizes federal funding to bully our communities. oag.ca.gov/news/press-r...

Trump froze $10 billion in federal social safety funding to Democratic-led states as political punishment.
 
Less than a day after we sued, we blocked this baseless attempt at retribution and will continue to defend CA from petty politics.

Another example of the Trump Admin trying to undermine the Rule of Law.

No matter the lies they spout, the truth is this: laws are passed to be followed, not flouted or disregarded when inconvenient.

The Rule of Law is alive and well, and I’ll keep doing everything in my power to keep it that way.

“The proliferation of nonconsensual deepfake imagery has coincided with broad AI adoption, with a 400% increase in AI child sexual abuse imagery in the first half of 2025, according to Internet Watch Foundation.”

Horrifying.

The Trump Administration is seeking to drastically reduce the rivers and wetlands protected by the Clean Water Act.

The Environmental Protection Agency should actually protect our environment, not weaken rules to allow more pollution into our waters.

As I reflect on 2025, I am filled with immense pride in all that my colleagues at CA DOJ and I accomplished to protect the Golden State.

From dismantling organized crime to tackling the affordability crisis to standing up to the federal administration, we were busy — proudly so — and it shows.

For six months, CA National Guard troops have been used as political pawns by a President desperate to be king.
 
Now, in the face of a stinging rebuke by the Supreme Court, the Trump Administration is backing away from its effort to federalize and deploy CA National Guard troops.

We’re supporting @ufw.bsky.social in its fight against unlawful immigration stops and arrests in the Central Valley.

DHS’s unlawful stops and warrantless arrests threaten the basic civil liberties afforded to us all.
