In a democracy, presidents don’t wield the military against citizens or weaponize the Justice Department against political opponents.

Since Congress won’t act, voters must.

We must decide what kind of country we want

A president who uses the military and the Justice Department to exact revenge against his perceived enemies is as un-Ame

Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize - her incredible optimism has already changed her country. I spoke to her, and wrote about her, at the beginning of this year:

Now that the UK has recognised Palestine as a state, this opens legal routes for British members of the IDF to be charged in the UK

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Went to a shop, bought a novel on publication day (near enough), came home, started reading. Haven't felt this excitement since err... Bleeding Edge. Or when late Roths were coming out. Cherish greatness while we have it and always be a fan.

Trump is an idiot, and we are in terrible trouble. Just think how much more trouble we would face if Trump was not an idiot. Look on the bright side!
