“The Trump Administration is waging an all-out assault on our elections and voting rights, and California refuses to stand idly by.
“This ruling will keep the USPS’ unprecedented and drastic changes from going into effect while our case moves forward.
“HHS has disregarded the law and its own policy precedent in another attempt to restrict transgender individuals' access to crucial care.
“The Trump Administration is continuing to try to coerce states into its hateful agenda, this time by attempting to rewrite decades-old law.
“The Trump Administration’s backroom buyout with Golden State Wind to stop offshore wind development in favor of gas and oil drilling is, unfortunately, a classic playbook for them to line the pockets of their Big Oil donors.
“Today, the district court blocked the rule, making it clear that President Trump must keep his hands off our elections. The right to vote is a foundational principle of our democracy, and we’re making sure it remains protected for everyone.
“We're suing to block USPS's rule restricting mail-in voting. This rule is an unlawful overreach that shows just how far President Trump will go to control elections — and we won't stand for it.
“Truly embarrassing, unhinged, wild-eyed, dangerous, reckless, desperate. What's your evidence for the bold claim you've made? He has none. Every count, recount, hand count, audit and court case has demonstrated there is no widespread voter fraud. Trump has basically taken the position that if he wins or the person that he supports wins, the election was fair. If he lost or the person he supported lost, it was rigged. And that's just not right. The danger is the action that follows the lie.
