Good morning.

When Gov. Jerry Brown and Attorney General Xavier Becerra announced this week that California would lead 16 other states in suing the Trump administration over federal efforts to roll back this state’s fuel emission standards, it was the 32nd time that California sued Washington. One would think that for Sacramento, it is all Trump all the time.

But Mr. Becerra, who was appointed to the post by Mr. Brown after Kamala Harris was elected to the United States Senate, wants you to know that is not the case. In a conversation with New York Times reporters in Los Angeles the other day, Mr. Becerra said that, in fact, litigation directed at the Trump administration accounted for only a small portion of his legal energies.

“It’s a fraction,” he told The Times. “Nowhere near what you think. I’ve got 1,200 attorneys. My units — my sections that do non-Trump activity — outnumber, vastly, the units that do affirmative actions against the federal government.”

“Then again,” he said, “you have weeks like this one.”

About half of the 32 suits filed by California against the administration are in “the environmental space,” as Mr. Becerra put it, and many of them were aimed directly at Scott Pruitt, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. The rest dealt with immigration, consumer affairs and health care.
