"Many of you who covered me ... were salivating at the thought that Eric would go to jail for 33 years. So don't start asking me about what I think about [Letitia James]: I want to know, what did y'all think about when my life was destroyed in this city. And I wish I had a mic so I can drop it."

Curtis Sliwa (the GOP nominee for NYC mayor) has launched a devastating ad against Andrew Cuomo (still running as an independent) featuring Donna Johnson, who claims that Cuomo's COVID policies regarding nursing homes killed both of her parents.

This hits home with Cuomo's prime demographic.

The prosecution of Tish James is the product of a broken system that allows lawless billionaires to rule alongside corrupt politicians.

It’s as much a story of New York City as Washington, D.C.

But it's here in New York where a new era of politics will be born.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Andrew Cuomo tweet:

@ZohranKMamdani's "plan" provides no relief for working families who take the subway, and unnecessary benefits to wealthy New Yorkers who take the bus and can afford the fare.

I focus on working families, while @ZohranKMamdani the mansion boy focuses on helping the rich.

"Without naming James, Cuomo invoked their contentious history, leading up to his resignation in 2021. Her office conducted a months-long investigation to corroborate sexual harassment allegations from multiple women that ultimately prompted his resignation."

Alyssa Katz @alykatzz.bsky.social · 1d

Cuomo has, shall we say, baggage when it comes to Letitia James. Hence his conspicuous reaction to her indictment: calling out law enforcement politicization "whether it comes from the right or the left." @gwynnefitz.bsky.social

Trump’s prosecution triggers the former governor to decry “politicization of law enforcement” in nod to his own probe by the dogged state AG.

This good news was brought to us by labor and the Left:

1️⃣ @nyfiscalpolicy.bsky.social set the standard for what to do.
2️⃣ @nysaflcio.bsky.social got Hochul to include this in the final budget (even though she initially excluded it).

It's important to know that Hochul was more against than for it.

The Tish James indictment really highlights the chasm between Cuomo and the majority of New Yorkers. She‘s one of the most broadly popular figures in the city, and he’s spent years attacking her because the report he commissioned found he‘d engaged in a pattern of sexual harassment and retaliation

If you look closely at the indictments of James Comey and Letitia James, you will find something very interesting. Both of them contain a tremendous amount of, what we refer to as, “bullshit”.

Among the long list of political adversaries President Trump has targeted in his second term are several Black women in powerful positions. Attorney General Letitia James of New York, who brought a civil case against Trump and won, is the latest.

Letitia James Is Among Prominent Black Women Targeted by Trump

Fani T. Willis, a district attorney who brought election interference charges against Mr. Trump, and Lisa Cook, who serves on the Federal Reserve Board, have also been investigated.
