Here’s to 249 years without a king. Let’s try to keep that streak going.

9/ But there is no comparison anywhere on the left with MAGA's regular legitimization of violence in our politics. There is a straight line from Jan 6 to the pardons to the assault on Sen. Padilla to Minnesota.

A democracy cannot function when one faction embraces violence.

7/ When MAGA uses violence against its political opponents and endorses private acts of violence when committed in service of MAGA, unhinged people listen - mostly on the right, but also on the left. Once violence gets mainstreamed, it's hard to put it back in the bottle.

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence?

Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue.

1/ A🧵on the danger.

She Relishes Being Trump’s Nemesis. Now He Is Out for Revenge. (Gift Article) Letitia James, the New York attorney general, won a fraud judgment against President Trump’s business and has challenged his policies in court. Now she is a target of his Justice Department.

“And unlike many of his enemies, she has not fallen silent during his second term.”

So it’s Friday night and Rumeysa Ozturk is out on bail, Ras Baraka is in Homeland Security custody, and Stephen Miller is casually toying with suspending habeas corpus. Do I have that right?

It was great to talk with @chrislhayes.bsky.social about the work my office is doing to fight back and protect the rights of New Yorkers and Americans.

Trump Fires Biden Appointees, Including Doug Emhoff, From Holocaust Museum “Holocaust remembrance and education should never be politicized,” Mr. Emhoff said in reaction to the removal of him and senior Biden White House officials from the board that oversees the museum.

Breaking News: The Trump administration fired Joe Biden appointees, including Kamala Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum board.

In just 100 days, this federal administration has unleashed a tidal wave of corruption and chaos. 
 
Along with my fellow AGs, we've met it with the full force of the law. 
 
We won't stop fighting these illegal attacks on the rights of New Yorkers, Americans, and our democracy.

Trump Has Now Deported Multiple U.S. Citizen Children With Cancer Two families who had lived in the United States for years, including a child with cancer and a pregnant mother, were deported by ICE on Friday.

There are no boundaries to what they will do. We are in a five alarm fire.

Now THAT’S some #GoodTrouble. #HandsOff

The people are fed up.

Hundreds of thousands (maybe more) of Americans of all stripes showed up to protest Trump today across the country - not just in big, blue cities.

So far, it’s a blip on NYT, CNN, MSNBC.

Hope these protests get the front page attention they deserve by tomorrow.

Senator Cory Booker just broke Strom Thurmond’s record of 24 hours and 18 minutes for the longest solo speech in Senate history. Thurmond used it to block civil rights — Booker used it to fight for justice. The arc of history bends, but only because people pull it. Thank you, @booker.senate.gov.

New York Attorney General Letitia James and a coalition of her counterparts from other states have asked a federal judge to block some $11 billion in cuts to public health initiatives ordered by the Trump administration.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are gutting the CFPB, giving big corporations a free pass to rip you off.

We need state-level consumer protections now more than ever, and @newyorkstateag.bsky.social is stepping up.

We're fighting back in Congress, the courts and the states.

Walz: There’s nothing conservative about an unelected South African nepo baby firing people at the VA.

With Washington rolling back consumer protections for our families, New York is taking real action. 
 
Today, my office is announcing the FAIR Business Practices Act, new legislation that will safeguard New Yorkers and small businesses from unfair, deceptive, and abusive practices.

Education Department cutting nearly half of workforce | CNN Politics The US Education Department said it is cutting nearly 50% of its workforce, according to senior agency officials, as President Donald Trump has proposed eliminating the agency altogether.

This isn’t about fixing bureaucracy in Washington. This is about defunding your local public school.

James: Whenever he issues an executive order, it’s the blue wall of defense. The attorneys general all across this country are responding in record time—defending the rights of individuals, defending the rule of law, and standing up for our democracy and for our freedom. We’ll continue to do that

I know what you’re thinking: We should mirror the United States government based on how this website is run.

To quote FDR: "I ask you to judge me by the enemies I have made."

“After we’ve discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants, the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women, and minorities. Once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends… what comes next?” - Gov. JB Pritzker

Federal Workers Grapple With Trump’s War on Bureaucracy One thing lost in the Trump administration’s war on the federal bureaucracy is the collective voice of the employees. But some have begun to speak out.

"One was fired by email at 12:47 am. Another wept with colleagues as security escorted her from the office. A third frantically tried to fill a prescription after she got a 24-hour notice that her health care was ending." Stories of the purged. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/09/u...

This morning, we won a court order blocking Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, from accessing Americans’ private data.

Musk and his DOGE employees must destroy all records they've obtained.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: no one is above the law.

State Attorneys General to Sue Elon Musk’s DOGE Over Access to Government Systems Letitia James of New York and 11 others said that the so-called Department of Government Efficiency had revealed private information and was “unlawful, unprecedented and unacceptable.”

As the richest man in the world, Elon Musk is not used to being told ‘no,’ but in our country, no one is above the law. - @newyorkstateag.bsky.social

Opinion | There Is No Going Back The president’s opponents, whoever they are, cannot expect a return to the Constitution as it was.

“A power-mad president possessed of radical theories of executive authority and convinced of his own royal prerogative has given de facto control of most of the federal government to one of the richest men on the planet…”
