James

INTRODUCTION Defendant Letitia A. James, the Attorney General of New York, submits this motion to dismiss the indictment in this case under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 12(b)(3)(A) because the charges against her were brought by an individual who had no authority to litigate this case on behalf of the United States. Lindsey Halligan, the prosecutor who sought and obtained this indictment, was not lawfully appointed as interim United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. Her purported appointment violates both 28 U.S.C. § 546 and the Appointments Clause of the Constitution. Nor was Ms. Halligan authorized to represent the United States under any other title or designation. Ms. Halligan thus lacked the power to present this case to the grand jury or sign this indictment, and she cannot continue to supervise this prosecution.

NEW: Letitia James asks the court to dismiss the indictment against her because Lindsey Halligan was unlawfully appointed US attorney and has "no authority to litigate this case on behalf of the United States." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Some of us can fucking walk and chew gum at the same time, y'know?

This is outrageous. It should also be understood in the context that everyday rich private donors also funnel tens of millions of dollars into US police departments through Police Foundations to fund projects that they are personally invested in--mostly high tech surveillance.

"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something

When Tish James walks into a courthouse tomorrow — the target of a political prosecution demanded by a President obsessed with revenge — she does not walk in alone.

New York has her back.

Grateful to Governor Hochul for bringing us together tonight.

I will say that at a time when antisemitism has basically entered the political mainstream, Mamdani has done a beautiful job in modeling how to do outreach to the Jewish community. It’s disgusting and an embarrassment that some right-leaning Jewish orgs have still tried to tar him as an antisemite.

Agree with all this, just wanted to add that Trump destroying the East Wing to build a ball financed by the biggest corps in America when food stamps are about to be cut and premiums skyrocket is the most let them eat cake moment in American history, and we should not shut up about it.

I'm back.

Oh wow:

"During the fracas, a federal agent fired a pepper round that struck a (UCC) clergyman, Jorge Bautista, near the chin. The impact caked his face and clothing in orange powder. Bautista said the agent shot him in the face from about 5 feet away."

"'I’m in a lot of pain,'" Bautista texted…"

Very full community meeting in Denver of citizens concerned about the use of FLOCK cameras.

Hey @kylec.bsky.social - powerful show of community showing up at the Town Hall discussing concerns about Flock cameras in Denver tonight. Too bad Denver’s strongman mayor Mike Johnson couldn’t be bothered to join. Almost like he’s a king or something. #NoKings

Vote Mamdani because Cuomo is going to help your employer replace you with AI slop

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

The war zone in Portland was getting out of control at the ICE facility last night.

Johnston’s office is lying to cover Flock’s lies and they think we’re too stupid to notice.

really did not expect to hearing about nazis all the time in 2025

was just not something i considered tbh

Cuomo's answer about the 13 women whom he sexually harassed should tell you everything. He isn't sorry. He doesn't believe he ruined anyone's life. You can do anything you want, as long as you can afford the attorneys.

listen we all know how to solve this

THEN PAY FOR IT YOURSELVES

It’s racist, it’s extremist and it’s immoral The right is still calling for deportations, and the government is still being cowardly about it. Also: London’s first green belt; some notes on a shark; and some news, on my next book.

"The idea of deporting people with settled status is disgusting, and anyone proposing it should be immediately drummed out of polite society. Breaking promises made in good faith to our friends and neighbours is racist, extremist and immoral."

I'm basically shouting at the sky here, but still.

Bernie never won Black people with his vision because he always tried to slick talk his way out of actually confronting race & now look at him being an actual Jewish man who thinks supporting Nazis is politically expedient.

Ever since Al Franken rightfully resigned from his post, there's been a vindictive streak in liberal circles that insists we shouldn't have to hold ourselves to standards if the Republicans aren't going to do the same.

Gerry is shitposting in print, that's dedication to the art form

There are laws about how to interdict suspected criminals on the high seas.

There are laws about how to renovate federal buildings.

There are laws about how not to monetize the presidency.

There are laws. We should enforce them. And not normalize the flagrant violation of them in the newspapers.

That’s incomplete, he only got 2 of his 3 feet down inbounds

the through line of "got an accidental nazi tattoo while drunk" to "regularly takes shirt off at the bar" to "starts a senate campaign with no experience and no plan to address any of this" to "gets a terrible coverup overnight" is "total lack of judgment and impulse control"

"How do you expect to win back men...?"

We don't want those men. They are the hot dogs on the floor of humanity and we still have all these nice prepped hamburger patties if someone would just let them cook.
