California Attorney General Rob Bonta and CaliforniaGovernor Gavin Newsom announced that the state will file a lawsuit asRepublicans in the U.S. Senate target California’s clean vehicles program. “Withthese votes, Senate Republicans are bending the knee to President Trump onceagain. The weaponization of the Congressional Review Act toattack California’s waivers is just another part of the continuous,partisan campaign against California’s efforts to protect the public and theplanet from harmful pollution. As we have said before, this recklessmisuse of the Congressional Review Act is unlawful, and California will notstand idly by. We need to hold the line on strong emissions standards and keepthe waivers in place, and we will sue to defend California’s waivers.” – AGBonta
