Jane Koston: 作为主持人,我认为现在对抗特朗普政府的第一线不是国会民主党人,而是民主党州检察长们。他们正在挑战特朗普政府在出生公民权、NIH科研经费以及埃隆·马斯克滥用政府权力等方面的举措。 Rob Bonta: 作为加州检察长,我承诺如果特朗普违反法律,我将采取行动。我认为我的职责是维护法律的尊严,确保没有人可以凌驾于法律之上。我将尽我所能,捍卫加州居民的权益。 Chris Mays: 作为亚利桑那州检察长,我认为我们不能允许民主进程被财富和特权所劫持。我坚信法律面前人人平等,任何人都不能利用其财富或地位来逃避法律的制裁。我将致力于维护民主的公正性。 Matthew Platkin: 作为新泽西州检察长,我认为特朗普政府让埃隆·马斯克获取财政部数据,这让每个人都感到恐慌。副总统公开质疑本届政府是否必须遵守法院的判决,这令人担忧。我们宣誓维护宪法,并有责任在法庭上为我们所服务的人民挺身而出。我们已经准备好,我们已经协调好,我们将继续捍卫法治。我同时认为, birthright citizenship在第14修正案中写得很清楚,特朗普不能重写它。我们将对抗任何人或任何事,如果这意味着保护我们的居民。

Shownotes Transcript

Democratic state attorneys general have been a major thorn in President Donald Trump's side since he returned to the White House last month. They've successfully gotten federal courts to block some of the president's most questionably constitutional actions, from trying to end birthright citizenship and freezing trillions in federal grant money to letting Elon Musk run roughshod over government agencies. New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin stops by the 'What A Day' studio to talk about how Democratic AGs are working together to push back on the Trump administration's agenda.

And in headlines: A vaccine skeptic is now running the Department of Health and Human Services, Trump's pick to run the Department of Education talked about her plans to dismantle the Department of Education during her first Senate confirmation hearing, and there's new hope the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel will continue to hold.
