After his regime collapsed in Dec. '24, he fled to Moscow with his family. Under Putin’s protection, he has vanished from public life. Sources close to him say he rarely leaves his apartments and spends long hours gaming online — his only escape from the isolation of exile.

The ceasefire has just begun.

So has the countdown until the Israeli military kills the next Gazan civilian.

It would be a miracle if the IDF makes it 24 hours without murdering someone.

3 am. The attack on Ukraine has been going on for several hours. Russia is attacking energy infrastructure. Putin has only one goal - to keep Ukrainians in the cold in the fall and winter. For choosing to live in an independent country. This is their reality.

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..

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

The malicious prosecution of Attorney General Tish James is baseless.

And the indictment is not worth the paper it is written on.
