99% Invisible · Constitution Breakdown #7: California AG Rob Bonta · 27 Feb 2026 podcast

When Trump was inaugurated, there were 23.

The Virginia AG flipped from,

red to blue in the election in November of last year.

And we communicate every week.

We meet often.

We pick up the phones regularly.

Our staffs are in regularly set meetings to communicate, plan, prepare.

We are flagging issues that we see in our states, asking the other states if they're experiencing the same things and deciding where we file a lawsuit, what claims we file on, what our injury is.

and how we protect our people and our states from these unlawful actions.

So there has been consistent contact, communication, strategizing, planning, preparing since before Trump was elected until today.

And now we're 55 lawsuits in.

in California and, you know, a really strong record of success.

And we're ready for whatever comes.

Got a full tank of gas, full of energy, ready to roll.

Hope that this president might decide, hey, maybe it's a good idea to follow my oath.

And comply with the Constitution and not trample on it and not look over longingly at Congress and say, hey, I'd love to have the power of the purse.

I'm just going to start using it.

Or looking over at our courts and saying they can't review my actions.

Or looking down at the states and saying they don't have any sovereign rights.

They need to do what I say.
