It has been an honor to serve as California's Attorney General.
For the last four years, I've had the privilege of working with an incredible team to protect the people, values and resources of our state—and we've done so with ganas.
I know this work will continue.
Thank you.

We applaud @USEDGov for providing an additional $1 Billion in student loan debt relief to borrowers defrauded by predatory for-profit colleges.
This is an important first step, but the work to protect students swindled by these crooked tactics continues.
We’re seeking to join litigation challenging two Otay Ranch development projects in a very high fire hazard severity zone in San Diego.
Devastating wildfires have become the norm.
Local govts must address the wildfire risks associated with new developments at the front end.
It is imperative for public safety – and required by the law.
Today’s action aims to ensure that San Diego County does all it can to mitigate the risks of the Otay Ranch projects before they are built.

.@CAGovernor, @Rendon63rd, @SenToniAtkins, and I made appointments to the five-member Board of the CA Privacy Protection Agency.
The #CPPA Board will help CA consumers understand and control their data privacy while holding online businesses accountable. oag.ca.gov/news/press-releas…
Today, we mourn yet another unacceptable, horrific act of violence.
My thoughts are with the families of the victims—and those in the AAPI community reeling from the news of the attack in Georgia.
We must stand united against violence and hate in all its forms. #StopAsianHate
We’re challenging two Trump-era rules that decimate energy efficiency standards for residential furnaces and commercial water heaters in favor of outdated gas technology.
CADOJ remains dedicated to defending cost-saving standards that benefit California. oag.ca.gov/news/press-releas…
Additional regulations under the California Consumer Privacy Act have been approved.
These regulations prohibit #darkpatterns to ensure that consumers will not be confused or misled when seeking to exercise their data privacy rights. #CCPA oag.ca.gov/news/press-releas…
They also include an eye-catching icon that guides consumers to where they can opt-out of the sale of their personal information. #CCPA
CADOJ joined a coalition of DAs and city attorneys in suing Brookdale Senior Living for putting seniors and people with disabilities at risk.
Brookdale cut corners when transferring or discharging patients and lured people to its facilities through false promises.
Choosing a skilled nursing facility is no simple task, & families rely on accurate data to make that decision.
Californians have been directly impacted by Brookdale’s actions, & we will ensure that they face consequences for violating the public’s trust. oag.ca.gov/news/press-releas…
13 AGs urged @ENERGY to restore our nation’s #energyefficiency programs after four years of damage.
That includes:
💡undoing 12+ Trump era rules
💡directing resources towards reviewing & updating standards
💡and prioritizing actions offering the biggest energy saving potential.
Our nation’s #energyefficiency regulations are a win-win – reducing the cost of using everyday household appliances while also decreasing pollution to our environment.
We’ve got to get this critical program back on track. oag.ca.gov/news/press-releas…
It's critical that wildfire risks associated with new developments are addressed at the front end—so that in the future, we aren’t faced with a catastrophe that could have been avoided. sfchronicle.com/california-w…
We’ve secured preliminary approval of our $575 Million settlement with @SutterHealth.
This landmark settlement will require Sutter to stop practices that drive patients into more expensive health services and to operate with more transparency. oag.ca.gov/news/press-releas…
NEWS: the federal govt just withdrew its appeal to our public charge case.
Our individual health and well-being are deeply rooted in how we care for all of our communities.
Today’s action is a reaffirmation of that. supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/2…
Conseguimos una sentencia judicial contra Curacao—una cadena de tiendas de almacén del sur de California que se dirigió hacía familias de bajos ingresos, hispanohablantes e inmigrantes con poca experiencia con contratos de financiamiento a largo plazo. oag.ca.gov/news/press-releas…
We’ve secured a court judgment against Curacao—a SoCal department store chain that targeted low-income families, Spanish speakers, and immigrants with little experience with long-term financing contracts. oag.ca.gov/news/press-releas…
NEWS: the court approved our settlement with @AirResources, @EPA, and @TheJusticeDept against Daimler.
Cheating emissions tests hurts consumers, the planet, and now Daimler to the tune of $1.5 billion.
With @AirResources, @EPA, and @TheJusticeDept, we've reached a $1.5 Billion settlement against Daimler AG and Mecerdes-Benz USA for selling cars that cheated emissions tests.
The #climatecrisis is upon us.
All of us must do our part to tackle it. oag.ca.gov/news/press-releas…
Unfortunately, the economic impact of the pandemic has disproportionately burdened women.
More than 2 million women left the workforce in 2020, and many more are facing the seemingly impossible task of working full time while juggling childcare. #IWD

This #InternationalWomenDay I want to extend my gratitude to the women keeping our country running during these unprecedented times, whether in the medical field, essential work, or at home.
But gratitude isn’t enough.
As we rebuild, we must center gender equity.
We applaud the Biden Administration for abandoning a Trump-era effort to delay the implementation of a critical regulation limiting methane emissions from landfills.
#BREAKING: the federal govt withdrew a request made by the previous admin for SCOTUS to review a case jeopardizing $28.3 M in public safety funds for CA.
With the law and the facts on our side, we’ve successfully held the line to defend public safety funds for our communities.
Bottom line: Today’s action by the Biden Administration is a win for public safety and community trust.
At the California Department of Justice, we are always ready to stand up in court for our people, our values, and our resources. oag.ca.gov/news/press-releas…
A11: Unfortunately, there are those out there looking to cheat you out of your hard-earned money. Protect yourself by being cautious and educating yourself.
And if you’ve been scammed, report it.
CADOJ works every day to protect Californians from fraud.
