California Attorney General Rob Bonta and California Governor Gavin Newsom announced that the state will file a lawsuit as Republicans in the U.S. Senate target California’s clean vehicles program. “With these votes, Senate Republicans are bending the knee to President Trump once again. The weaponization of the Congressional Review Act to attack California’s waivers is just another part of the continuous, partisan campaign against California’s efforts to protect the public and the planet from harmful pollution. As we have said before, this reckless misuse of the Congressional Review Act is unlawful, and California will not stand idly by. We need to hold the line on strong emissions standards and keep the waivers in place, and we will sue to defend California’s waivers.” – AG Bonta
