Trump is operating with revenge in mind, not the rule of law.

The DNC stands with New York Attorney General Letitia James against his latest political attack.

My full statement on her baseless indictment:

This indictment isn’t about the law, it’s about political revenge directed by Donald Trump at someone he deems his enemy. There’s a reason why both the U.S. Attorney and career prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia refused to bring forward this baseless indictment against New York Attorney General Letitia James — and why they were replaced by a hand-picked, unqualified sycophant with no prosecutorial experience.
Donald Trump doesn’t care about the law or an independent Department of Justice. Weeks ago, Trump publicly demanded the weaponization of our justice system and today, the department dutifully carried out his orders.
This is a line that cannot be uncrossed. The DNC joins the Democratic Attorneys General Association in condemning this politically motivated attack on Attorney General James. And we encourage Americans everywhere, of any and all political affiliations, to stand against Donald Trump’s attempts to co-opt the government for retribution and intimidation.

My entire career, I’ve always put Virginians first — and that’s what I’ll do as Governor.

My mission is to bring down costs, improve our schools, and keep people safe. I’ve earned the support of Virginia police, firefighters, Democrats, and Republicans — and I hope to earn yours.

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.

Someone like JD Vance, who has been on the receiving end of a lot of insinuations, should know to couch his language more carefully.

Anyways, I’ll be here, ready to make a deal to save Americans’ health care and reopen the federal government that Republicans shut down.

A headline from the New York Post reads: “JD Vance calls Chuck Schumer ‘one of the most famous Palestinians’”

For too long, opening a restaurant in CA has meant endless hurdles & delays.

With @governor.ca.gov's signature on AB 671, we’re making it easier for small restaurateurs to turn their ideas into reality — opening doors faster, hiring sooner & bringing new energy to our main streets.

The malicious prosecution of Attorney General Tish James is baseless.

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

One U.S. Attorney already refused this case. So, Trump hand-picked an unqualified hack that would go after another political enemy. This isn't justice. It's revenge. And it should horrify every American who believes no one is above the law.

This is what tyranny looks like. President Trump is using the Justice Department as his personal attack dog, targeting Attorney General Tish James for the ‘crime’ of prosecuting him for fraud—and winning.

"I'm the one who stood up to Trump and made him back down when he threatened to withhold issuing social security numbers to our children.

And if you put me in the senate, I'll continue to make him back down."

Easiest campaign ever.

Fair point.

But these weren't cabinet nominations that Schumer was holding up. They were ambassadors and other roles that require senate confirmation.

Trump wants to hold the government hostage until Democrats agree to raise health care costs for millions of Americans and give him more unchecked power.

But health care is a human right.

And in America, we have no kings.

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

Belichick was smart in ONE way:

He understood Brady's strengths and weaknesses and spent every dime of the teams salary cap to give him an offensive line that would keep him from getting rushed.

Brady wasn't great either. He was consistent and took high percentage passes for small yardage.
