I’ve filed 100 lawsuits against the Trump administration and beat them in court time after time. That’s what it takes to protect California. With your vote, I’ll keep holding Trump accountable and delivering results.

BREAKING: A federal court has DENIED the Trump Administration’s request for a Temporary Restraining Order seeking to segregate and exclude over 20,000 CA ballots saying: “This case is about the right of every American citizen to vote in a free and fair election. Never before in American history has the federal government, on the eve of an election, sought to coerce a state and local government to abandon their own Constitutional elections procedures and bend to the will of the Executive Branch. In bringing this lawsuit, the Executive would have this Court believe that it reigns as a sole sovereign. But California and its people are sovereign, too….Every generation in our history has witnessed repeated clashes between those who seek to limit access to the ballot and those who fight to ensure it…This request violates longstanding constitutional principles mandating that states have control over their elections…Over 20,000 registered Californians would potentially lose the right that generations of Americans have fought to preserve….”

California Attorney General Rob Bonta said “hazardous waste has leaked" for years from SoCal's now-closed Chiquita Canyon landfill. Spectrum News reached out to the site operator, which is the subject of Bonta's lawsuit. Owners say they’re “committed" to working with regulators.

BREAKING: The federal court of appeals has just DISMISSED Trump’s lawsuit threatening to disenfranchise thousands of Californians right before the midterm elections Trump’s lawsuit bordered on the absurd and was nothing more than a reckless political stunt This meritless lawsuit has appropriately been thrown out of court

Trump’s bosses are not his billionaire buddies or greedy corporations They are you, me, us, and we We the people With his job approval rating at a historic low, Trump is deathly afraid of how his bosses will vote this election So he’s trying to sow doubt in our voting process and undermine the will of the people Don’t be intimated— your vote is your voice. Make sure it’s heard And I’ll do my part to protect your fundamental right to vote and ensure every eligible vote is counted

Trump’s un-American, undemocratic, and unconstitutional position on the American people’s free and fair elections: If his side wins, the election was fair. If his side loses, it was rigged Remember: Trump pressured Georgia officials to “find” 11,780 more non-existent votes for him after he lost the 2020 election, helped fuel the January 6 attack on the Capitol as Congress certified Joe Biden‘s election victory, issued multiple illegal executive orders that attempted to undermine your fundamental right to vote, seized ballots in Fulton County, GA from the 2020 election he lost, and, as Election-Denier and Gaslighter-In-Chief, embarrassingly maintains to this day that he won the 2020 election that he clearly lost Make no mistake: He is attacking YOUR right to vote and refusing to accept the will of the PEOPLE, the cornerstone of American democracy We won’t let him

The Elections Clause of the United States Constitution— the most powerful legal document in our American constitutional democracy— clearly indicates that states determine the time, place, and manner of our elections. Article I, Section 4, Clause 1 The federal executive branch— yup, the Trump Administration—has ZERO role in determining the time, place and manner of elections

We have once again blocked Trump’s illegal and undemocratic attacks on the American people A federal appellate court has declared that Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in California was unlawful and unconstitutional and made clear we can block him from militarizing California’s streets in the future When Trump attacks your rights and disregards the law, we will hold the line and we will stop him

Don't wait to mail your ballot! We recommend sending it by October 26 to allow extra time for delivery. Remember, Nov. 3 is the LAST day to vote, not the ONLY day. 🗳️

WOW! Another big win for Californians, @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom, @AGRobBonta, and the rule of law! In Newsom v. Trump, the Court makes it official: Trump violated the Constitution and the law when he claimed there was a “rebellion” and took over California’s National Guard last year. Very important precedent ahead of Election Day!
