‘We were ready’: Democratic attorneys general lead fight to stop Trump

Democratic attorneys general from multiple states have collectively filed over 50 lawsuits against the Trump administration, challenging policies and actions they believe are unconstitutional or illegal. These legal challenges aim to protect state interests, block policies that would cut benefits or funding, and prevent the implementation of tariffs without congressional approval. The attorneys general began preparing for potential legal battles even before the 2024 election and have achieved a high success rate in obtaining temporary restraining orders or preliminary injunctions. While bipartisan cooperation among attorneys general exists on issues like opioids, the scale and scope of these coordinated lawsuits against the Trump administration are unprecedented. The group continues to expand its focus, even considering involvement in issues like potential corporate mergers.
