The orange, 300 pounder wants everything @barackobama.bsky.social has. I’m surprised he isn’t trying to steal President Obama’s tan suit and his jump shot. 😉

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..

I have no doubt. The same could be said for millionaires.

A two percent tax on my current resources will not change how I’m living one bit. Americans have been well conditioned to link any tax to some sin.
