Together, we have proven that when California fights, we win.

This is why I have decided to continue my campaign to earn another term as your Attorney General.

CA AG Rob Bonta on Trump in an Exclusive Legal AF Interview:
We believe he will resort to nearly anything here to try to get the outcome that he wants and and not honor the the fundamental right to vote. So, we're ready.

[Rob Bonta @RobBonta]

Human trafficking is a profound violation of human rights that has no place in California.

My office has prioritized combating human trafficking, holding traffickers and sex buyers accountable, and ensuring survivors receive the support they need. We will continue to dismantle sex trafficking networks by cutting off the demand for these illegal services and supporting survivors along the way. When we work together, there is no limit to what we can accomplish to make California safer.

Trump thinks about himself, not the American people

Which has consequences

Because in our American democracy, the People always have the last word

[The Daily Beast @thedailybeast]

Republican strategists and lawmakers now fear that Trump’s refusal to listen to voters’ concerns about issues means November will be particularly brutal.

The reports of the death of theatrical release movies are greatly exaggerated

[Variety @Variety]

Need proof the movies are really, truly back? The summer box office was already the biggest since COVID upended the industry in 2020 — and now the season has become the highest-grossing of all time.

Domestic ticket sales from May 1 through Labor Day on Sept. 7 stand at $4.76 billion, according to Rentrak. Revenues surpassed the long-held record set in 2013 with $4.755 billion, anchored by “Iron Man 3,” “Despicable Me 2” and “Man of Steel.”

This Labor Day, we celebrate the workers whose dedication, tenacity, and passion allow California’s businesses and communities to thrive. Today and every day, I honor and fight to protect the hardworking individuals and unions who form the backbone of our nation’s strength and prosperity.

This tracks

While Trump enters into endless wars, gaslights Americans about their struggles with unaffordability, advances debunked conspiracy theories, and attempts to interfere with our elections, the big tent Democrats are fighting for affordability, defending rights and freedoms, and protecting the rule of law and our democracy

[Peter Baker @peterbakernyt]

Fully 49% of Americans now identify as Democrats or Democratic-leaning compared with 39% Republican, the party's largest advantage since 2008 and a big flip in 2 years, per @Gallup. As late as 2024, the GOP had a slight edge. @RuthIgielnik @carolinelsoler https://t.co/CwbyKldhmp

Trump is a historic president

Historically unlawful

Historically unconstitutional

Historically un-American

As CA Attorney General, I’ve stood up to Trump’s lawlessness time and time again and slapped down his illegal conduct before it can hurt California and Californians

I’ll never stop protecting and defending California from Trump’s lawlessness

[Rob Bonta @RobBonta]

Donald Trump is back in town today. Let's remind him what California has been doing over the last 18 months:

We've filed 82 lawsuits against his administration and we’ve won 83% of the time, protecting more than $207 billion for programs Californians rely on. We've defended the Constitution, protected birthright citizenship, fought to keep the National Guard off our streets, blocked illegal tariffs, and stood up for our state's right to put Californians first.

California will continue to lead the fight for our values, our communities, and the rule of law.

🚨 BREAKING: Homicides in California have now dropped to the lowest level in recorded history.

[Rob Bonta @RobBonta]

In the last five years, my team and I have seized more than 1.6 billion deadly doses of fentanyl. That’s enough to kill every single American four times over.

We’re confronting the fentanyl crisis head-on, working across departments and alongside our law enforcement partners to disrupt trafficking networks and get deadly drugs off California’s streets.

The threat is great—but our resolve is greater. Our work won’t stop until fentanyl stops taking lives.

We’ve secured yet another court order blocking Trump’s unlawful attempt to interfere with eligible American voters’ mail voting

This order will block Trump’s unprecedented and chaotic proposed changes while our case continues

We’re standing up for small and medium-sized businesses and everyday consumers against Amazon’s unlawful abuses of power

[San Francisco Chronicle @sfchronicle]

California, 21 other states and the Federal Trade Commission sued Amazon, accusing the company of overcharging  advertising customers by more than $20 billion. https://t.co/uPqcAScivV

[Rob Bonta @RobBonta]

My team and I are steadfast in enforcing California’s gun safety laws and taking illegal firearms off our streets.

In the last 5 years, we’ve seized 10,210 illegal firearms:

5,390 via the Armed Prohibited Persons System
4,820 ghost guns, assault weapons, and machine guns

We’re enforcing Gun Violence Restraining Orders, age limits, and concealed carry training standards—and we launched DOJ’s Office of Gun Violence Prevention, the first of its kind in the nation.

This is real progress—and we’ll keep working relentlessly to reduce gun violence across California.

Something we can agree on: A federal film tax credit

Let’s get it done!

[Variety @Variety]

President Trump has endorsed a federal tax incentive “to save the Movie, Television, and Entertainment Business in America":

“I am going to suggest that Republicans and Democrats get together, and immediately craft Legislation to save the Movie, Television, and Entertainment Business in America,” he wrote. “Congress should approve, immediately, a Federal Production Incentive to create Entertainment Jobs in America. It can be done quickly, accurately, efficiently and, importantly, will benefit ALL of America. What we watch on the Silver Screen should be made in what was once the Movie and Motion Picture Capital of the World. Let’s get this done!”
