New York Attorney General Letitia James @newyorkstateag.bsky.social · 2d

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..

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

The MAGA cult is all saying, "That's not what Orange Jesus says. Facts is what Orange Jesus says."

This is a great movie. I'm old enough to have seen this in the theater. At the time it felt like science fiction. Now I see they didn't go nearly far enough.

He should tariff his corrupt crypto dealings.

He's running out of things to tariff and people still want to see the Epstein Files.

If I was on the jury, I'd give him a hundred.

Forget ostracizing her on social media. If I were a patient of hers, I think there would be a line of attorneys waiting to file a lawsuit and take everything she owns. Except that stupid red hat, she can have that.

A prediction. And after Trump is done bankrupting farmers, most agriculture will be among a few.

I agree 100%, The hearings for the Supreme Court are a farce. They will say whatever it takes to get on the court.

I finished building a guitar today. Full disclosure , it was a kit. Next time I will start from scratch. The paint came from Oxford Guitar Supply. It didn’t turn out bad. Tip, if try this and it’s humid, get a blush remover. I hope you like it.

I'm an old dude. Growing up there were things we would say that are no longer true.
The first is no one is above the law. We now know the President is above the law.
The second is that we have free speech, it's a free country.
Under Trump any speech that he doesn't like is hate speech.

Tonight's news makes clear that the legacy media is fully capitulating. I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to be fearlessly independent and pro-democracy.

It will never bow down. It will never give in. It will never compromise

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this.

You're welcome

Let Kirk’s own words define his legacy. Don’t let Fox News, The Wall Street Journal and other Murdoch outlets whitewash who he was and what he stood for. The laziness of other media is astounding. If we are going to work toward a more tolerant society we need to allow the facts speak for themselves.

With the Supreme Court ruling to abolish the 4th and 14th amendment to the constitution not only do we have war on Chicago, now the United States has declared war on brown people.
