BREAKING: Letitia James held Trump accountable & now he’s hijacking the DOJ to indict her in retaliation

This isn’t justice, it’s abuse of power

We will be amending our existing ethics complaint against Halligan & pursuing other legal measures

I don’t usually write about my law firm, but I’m going to make an exception. With fewer than 60 lawyers, we are currently litigating 63 voting and election cases in 30 states — a number that will almost certainly rise in the weeks to come. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/why-...

NEW: I'm teaming up with Dem AGs and Govs across the country to file a court brief supporting Oregon's challenge against Trump's deployment of the National Guard to their state.

The President is responsible for provoking fear and chaos - we must push back against this reckless abuse of power.
