ATTORNEY GENERAL TONG WINS LAWSUIT TO PROTECT CRITICAL HOMELAND SECURITY FUNDING FROM POLITICALLY MOTIVATED CUTS

Dec 28, 2025 Alex

(Hartford, CT) – Attorney General William Tong has won a lawsuit to stop the Trump administration from unlawfully reallocating federal homeland security funding away from states based on their compliance with the administration’s political agenda. The U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island granted a motion for summary judgment brought by Attorney General Tong and a coalition of 11 other attorneys general and the governor of Pennsylvania. “Donald Trump tried to play politics with taxpayer-funded disaster relief. We sued, and the court saw these cuts for what they were— not plausible, not rational, and not lawful. We are going to keep fighting and we’re going to keep winning to stop Donald Trump from hurting our states,” said Attorney General…

Lamont, Tong Push Back on Renewed Trump Effort to Halt Revolution Wind Project

Dec 28, 2025 Alex

HARTFORD, CT — Governor Ned Lamont and Attorney General William Tong issued sharp rebukes following a new federal action by the Trump administration aimed at once again halting construction of the Revolution Wind offshore wind project, which is nearing completion. Governor Lamont called the move erratic and anti-business, warning it would drive up electricity costs for Connecticut residents and businesses. He said the project is critical to ensuring a diverse energy supply, lowering utility costs, and supporting good-paying clean energy jobs, adding that repeated federal interference creates economic uncertainty. Attorney General Tong said the latest stop work order, issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, appears to be an unlawful attempt to sidestep a…

Dec 28, 2025 Alex

Advertisers are Using the Holiday Season to Push Weight Loss Products on Instagram and Facebook (Hartford, CT) – Today, Attorney General William Tong and a coalition of 35 bipartisan attorneys general called on Meta to better enforce its own policies about pharmaceutical and wellness ads on Instagram and Facebook and take additional measures to prevent AI-generated weight loss content in ads.

ATTORNEY GENERAL TONG SUES TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO DEFEND CRITICAL CONSUMER PROTECTION EFFORTS

Dec 27, 2025 Alex

(Hartford, CT) -- Attorney General William Tong today joined a coalition of attorneys general in suing the Trump administration to stop the complete defunding of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), which has returned more than $21 billion improperly taken from over 205 million Americans throughout its 14-year existence. The CFPB’s current acting director, Russel Vought, is attempting to completely defund the agency by refusing to request any funding from the Federal Reserve, which will virtually guarantee the agency runs out of money in January 2026. As Attorney General Tong and the coalition argue, this will have devastating impacts on consumers and severely disrupt states’ consumer protection abilities, which rely on consumer complaints and data from CFPB. Attorney General Tong and the…
