New York Attorney General Letitia James @newyorkstateag.bsky.social · May 13

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Department of Transportation are illegally forcing states to comply with the administration’s immigration policies or give up billions of dollars in funding for disaster relief and transportation.

I’m suing to stop this unlawful overreach.

Controversial viewpoint: I think Trump should take the plain from a middle eastern power. Makes him such a perfect target for the errant drone when it enters restricted airspace IMO 🤣

Armed agents of the state should never be allowed to wear masks solely to shield their identities.

We are prohibited from doing so in my department.

If you can't show your face in public, you don't deserve to work for the public.

Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane.

Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet

That’s why I wrote F*ck Around & Find Out: The 50-State Civic Uprising Manual

Because protests like this don’t happen in a vacuum — they happen because people are organizing, strategizing, and refusing to stay silent

This book shows you exactly how to take that energy and build lasting power

The Rayburn Building is on fire with protest.

People are swarming the halls during live hearings on Medicaid cuts.

Security can’t contain it — because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

This isn’t chaos. This is a reckoning.

#StephenMiller “The unelected architect behind Trump’s most brutal and racially driven policies.” He is the racist high school troll who somehow weaseled his way into shaping U.S. law—and we’re letting him. Time to stop pretending he’s not the problem—he is.

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

"Trump wants us to believe he is all-powerful. He wants us to believe that opposing him is futile or worse. He wants you to accept that there’s nothing you can do to limit his ability to harm our country and our democracy. But that simply isn’t true.
In trith, Trump is afraid..."

If the Trump tariffs aren't taxes that consumers pay, why did he fight so hard to get Bezos to hide them? Instead, he would be bragging about the countries paying those tariffs.
