Bonta: I think we should do things that are good for the American people. I don’t think we should always be concerned about getting even or saying, “If they did it, then we should do it.” I think we should give the American people whatever they need and deserve.

Bonta: A judge has said that over 80% of the time, Trump is breaking the law and violating the Constitution. We've protected over $168 billion in funding that Trump tried to improperly withhold — funding that was already congressionally appropriated for California.
