The President of the United States has a loose grip on the law and an even looser grip on reality.
As I’ve said many times, the only election Donald Trump recognizes as valid is one where he wins.
There is no widespread voter fraud. The federal government has no right to interfere in California’s elections.
We’re taking bipartisan action to defend the enforcement of state gambling laws against Kalshi.
Prediction markets can’t use federal loopholes to bypass states’ rights to regulate gaming.
We’ll continue to stand with our state partners to ensure federal laws aren’t weaponized to evade state laws.

Three legal victories in one week make clear that the Trump Administration has zero authority to interfere in California’s elections.
The Administration’s baseless claims of widespread fraud are an attempt to sow doubt in our democratic process and risk disenfranchising eligible voters.
We will keep fighting to uphold the rule of law.
Lyft—a company offering services exclusively through an app—was selling and sharing user’s personal information without giving users a way to opt-out from the app.
We’re proud to have secured $1.8 M settlement with Lyft ensuring an in-app opt-out option and that consumers will be notified of their rights.

ALT Privacy Rights Can’t Be Left in the Rearview: Attorney General Bonta Secures $1.8 Million Settlement with Lyft “Under California’s nation-leading privacy law, consumers have the right to say no to the sale and sharing of their data, and businesses cannot throw up unnecessary roadblocks.”
NEWS: We’ve secured a district court victory in our fight to protect California elections from the Trump Administration’s attempted interference.
No administration can disenfranchise thousands of individuals or disrupt an ongoing election based on highly unreliable claims of noncitizenship.
While this fight is not over, today’s result builds on Monday’s win at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
Today’s ruling is yet another important victory for the rule of law and the right to vote.

Dolores Huerta was a friend, a mentor, and a lifelong hero of mine.
Her rallying cry “Sí Se Puede” perfectly encapsulated who she was — a woman full of fight and right who knew that if we worked together, there was nothing we couldn’t achieve.
There are not enough superlatives to describe her life, legacy, and the impact she had on our nation’s ongoing pursuit of justice and fairness.
My deepest condolences to her family. This is a devastating loss for so many in the labor movement and across the nation.
Californians: Today marks one week until Election Day!

The Trump Administration is unlawfully rolling back reporting requirements meant to help law enforcement track down bad actors who hide financial assets in shell companies.
We’re suing.

ALT Attorney General Bonta Sues Trump Administration for Rolling Back Financial Crime Enforcement “My office is committed to supporting law enforcement’s efforts to enforce the laws that keep people safe and hold bad actors accountable.”
We’ve shut down an illegal gambling ring in Solano County.
All gaming must be conducted legally and transparently, with no exceptions.
Let this operation serve as a lesson to not bet against California DOJ. If you do, your luck will run out.

We’re suing the owners and operators of the Chiquita Canyon Landfill to force accountability for environmental contamination — including numerous spills of leachate and other violations of our State’s hazardous waste laws.
Protecting the environment and safeguarding Californians requires us to take action.
We cannot allow the California dream to be smothered by the repeated releases of hazardous waste at the Chiquita Canyon Landfill — we must act.

ALT Holding Environmental Contaminators Accountable
As the fourth largest economy in the world, California has an outsized responsibility in ensuring business practices are fair and competitive — and today, we’ve delivered.
I am proud of the work my office has done in collaboration with the FTC and I remain steadfast in my commitment to economic justice and protecting an economy where both businesses and families can thrive.
ALT AG Bonta Secures Complete Victory in PlayPower/Burke Case, Parties Abandon Merger. "The end of the proposed PlayPower/Burke merger is a remarkable victory for taxpayers, our schools, local parks and recreation departments, and our kids,”
#BREAKING: the Ninth Circuit DISMISSED the Trump Admin’s request to segregate and not count any mail-in ballots that may be returned by a list of approximately 20,000 individuals it “believes” are “likely” noncitizens.
When we asked the Trump Admin for proof that these people are noncitizens, they refused to provide it, and last week the Trump DOJ’s #2 official admitted that the list could sweep in U.S. citizens.
This is an important step in our efforts to protect Californians’ right to vote and our state’s authority to run fair and secure elections.

ALT We will fight back against the Trump Administration's unlawful overreach at every turn
The Trump Administration’s “doomsday scenarios” are a transparent attempt to lay the groundwork for more attempts at election interference.
Here’s what’s really happening: President Trump is historically unpopular and he’s facing massive election losses nationwide.
Instead of working for the American people, he’s seeding excuses and sowing discord.
It’s un-American and un-democratic, and we won’t stand for it.
Todd Blanche won't rule out trying to block states from certifying their midterm results.
Asked whether the Trump DOJ might try to block a state from certifying results, Blanche said: "Yes. Of course there are scenarios that we could all come up with hypothetically. Some doomsday scenario, for example."
EXCELLENT NEWS: The Ninth Circuit has made clear that President Trump’s deployment of California’s National Guard last year was unlawful and unconstitutional.
It also blocked the Trump Administration’s transparent attempt to keep a pathway open to federalize the Guard over California’s wishes again.
When the President tramples on the Constitution and the rights of Californians, we’ll fight to hold him accountable—and we’ll win.
California DOJ was proud to work with the federal government in the joint investigation and joint arrest of Dr. Tabaie.
As we’ve said many times, fighting fraud is not political—it’s work we’ve been doing on the ground for years.
We’ll continue to work to protect taxpayer dollars and defend the integrity of critical programs on which Californians rely.

Felony charges have been filed against 103 In-Home Supportive Services providers for allegedly defrauding the Medi-Cal program out of over $4.5 million dollars.
While the alleged fraud represents a small fraction of California’s $30 billion IHSS budget, any abuse of Medi-Cal jeopardizes funding for our most vulnerable residents.
This statewide enforcement effort ensures the integrity of the IHSS program so that every individual who genuinely needs care receives it.

Following a multi-agency investigation into unlawful firearm possession and narcotics sales, we’ve arrested two individuals in Tulare County and recovered six firearms—including a pistol reported stolen in 2023—along with illegal drugs.
At CA DOJ, we’ll continue working with agencies across the state to prevent gun violence and protect Californians.

Let’s be clear about the facts: California has more than 23 million registered voters — the 28 cases of alleged voter fraud announced this morning represent .0001% of that total.
Isolated cases of voter fraud occur in red and blue states alike. As I’ve said repeatedly, any substantiated allegation of voter fraud should be taken seriously and, when supported by the facts and law, prosecuted.
We have safeguards in place to protect election integrity, and they’re working.
We’ve secured a settlement with Fidelity over the company's past restrictions on the ability to withdraw certain cryptocurrencies.
While the cryptocurrency market may be ever changing and shifting, California law does not.
