"If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."
Too bad that our legal and institutional safeguards only work to prevent good policies. It would be cool if they also stopped the evil stuff

Your remarks about this effort have betrayed a continuing slip in your mental faculties
i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.

Zohran figuratively beating Cuomo to death with his own shoes when heβs like 20 points ahead is how you establish a Fiorello La Guardia level legacy in New York and everyone in politics should be taking notes.
