@cagovernornewsom.bsky.social has signed Sentator Hurtado’s #SB763 into law! This new law increases penalties for wealthy corporations looking to illegally profit at the cost of workers, consumers, and honest businesses.

A fair and competitive marketplace helps us all.

We’re asking the court to reinstate our order preventing President Trump from federalizing the California National Guard as our case continues.

President Trump is seeking to deploy the California National Guard as his own personal, traveling police force, indefinitely, anywhere in the country.

California communities have no desire to see their streets turned into a training ground for the military.

Neither do our friends in D.C., Illinois, and Oregon.

I urge the court to see this political gamesmanship for what it is — and put an immediate stop to it before it goes any further.

Breaking: we’ve secured a court order BLOCKING Trump’s unlawful deployment of the California National Guard in Portland.

This fight isn’t over, but today’s rebuke of the President’s illegal actions is a step in the right direction.

The National Guard is not President Trump’s personal police force.

This decision upholds a nationwide injunction in our lawsuit challenging the President’s attempt to end, with the stroke of a pen, the constitutional right to birthright citizenship.

We’ll continue to oppose this executive order until Trump’s attempt to unmake the Constitution is blocked completely

AG BONTA SECURES APPEALS COURT
DECISION AFFIRMING NATIONWIDE INJUNCTION IN BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP LAWSUIT

"The First Circuit reaffirmed what we already knew to be true: The President's attack on birthright citizenship flagrantly defies the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and a nationwide injunction is the only reasonable way to protect against its catastrophic implications.”

Mail in your ballot early or use a ballot drop box to make sure your voice is heard.
