Attorneys General can be a mouthful, so we like to call them the “People’s Lawyers.” Let us break down what an AG actually does and the enormous impact they can have.

The DOJ is trying to implement a new rule forcing victims of sexual assault and domestic violence to immediately prove their immigration status before receiving aid.

Victims of these horrific crimes deserve compassion and help, not politically motivated roadblocks. Dem AGs will see you in court. ⚖️

The president can only call up the National Guard in extreme circumstances — and none of those circumstances exist in Portland. That’s why we filed our lawsuit.

Trump’s chaos is once again threatening families and communities.

But it won’t stop Dem AGs from continuing to fight for you.

With today's federal shutdown, Donald Trump is threatening the well-being and financial security of Virginia families - and @jasonmiyaresva.bsky.social has done nothing to stand up for us.

Democratic AGs will not let Trump normalize deploying the military to American cities.

They’ll continue suing and winning for the people they serve. @agdanrayfield.bsky.social

Just won an emergency court order blocking FEMA from reallocating homeland security funds from NJ to other states.

We will continue to fight to ensure that the Trump Administration cannot illegally withhold funds that keep New Jerseyans safe.

Attorney General Matt Platkin @newjerseyoag.bsky.social · 8d

After we stopped the Trump Admin from blocking all FEMA funding to NJ, they are pivoting to illegally attempting to slash funding for homeland security.

We won't tolerate this attempt to play politics with the safety of New Jerseyans. We are filing suit to restore this funding.

A court ruled in our favor and temporarily blocked these FEMA funds from being cut while we continue our lawsuit.

I'll always fight to stop the federal government from putting our communities at risk to further its political agenda.

New York Attorney General Letitia James @newyorkstateag.bsky.social · 9d

I'm suing the federal government for cutting FEMA funds that protect national security and emergency response programs from states that refuse to support its attacks on immigrants.

I won’t let this administration play political games with resources that help keep people safe.

MAGA Kansas AG Kris Kobach tried to stop Governor Laura Kelly from protecting SNAP recipients’ sensitive personal data.

Per usual, Kobach lost.

ANOTHER Win for States Against Trump.

A federal judge in Oregon just handed us a major victory in our lawsuit to protect federal energy funding. In a ruling from the bench, the judge found that the Trump Administration's cap on state energy program funding was illegal.

FEMA and DHS funds help states prepare for disasters and recover from emergencies. The Trump Administration wants to reduce that funding in MA by more than 30%.

My office and democratic AGs from across the country are working to make sure communities are protected. We’re suing.

Let me be clear: I’ll continue to defend California’s safety, sovereignty, and constitutional rights.

This lawsuit is about more than one state — it’s about protecting the safety and security of all Americans.

The Trump Administration is trying to unlawfully reallocate federal homeland security funding based on a state’s willingness to comply with the Administration’s political agenda. But under the Constitution, it is Congress – not the President – who has the power of the purse.

Yesterday, we filed a lawsuit challenging Trump’s illegal federalization of the National Guard.

This morning, we filed a motion for a temporary restraining order to block the federalization from going into effect.

We’ll keep sharing updates as things progress.

On Sunday morning, Oregon officials received word that Trump would be federalizing the state’s National Guard.

Less than 6 hours later, AG Dan Rayfield filed a lawsuit to prevent this drastic and blatant overreach of authority. He’ll see you in court. ⚖️

As of 2pm today - less than 6 hours after receiving formal notice that the President had federalized Oregon’s National Guard in Portland - we filed a lawsuit.

The president has overstepped his authority.
