As I celebrate my health, nothing seems more โ€œpro-lifeโ€ to me than funding this research โ€” and this anniversary has got me thinking about abortion politics.

A year ago yesterday was a very happy day for me. I had lost my prostate. It was good riddance, as it was riddled with cancer. Iโ€™m now cancer-free โ€” and thankful for the tax-funded technology that saved my life.

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast.

But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the presidentโ€™s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful โ€” I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Attorney General Letitia James Issues Statement on Donald Trumpโ€™s Weaponization of the Department of Justice

NEW YORK โ€“ New York Attorney General Letitia James today issued the following statement after she was indicted by the U.S. Attorneyโ€™s office of the Eastern District of Virginia. 

โ€œThis is nothing more than a continuation of the presidentโ€™s desperate weaponization of our justice system. He is forcing federal law enforcement agencies to do his bidding, all because I did my job as the New York State Attorney General.  

โ€œThese charges are baseless, and the presidentโ€™s own public statements make clear that his only goal is political retribution at any cost. The presidentโ€™s actions are a grave violation of our Constitutional order and have drawn sharp criticism from members of both parties.  

โ€œHis decision to fire a United States Attorney who refused to bring charges against me โ€“ and replace them with someone who is blindly loyal not to the law, but to the president โ€“ is antithetical to the bedrock principles of our country. This is the time for leaders on both sides of the aisle to speak out against this blatant perversion of our system of justice. 

โ€œI stand strongly behind my officeโ€™s litigation against the Trump Organization. We conducted a two-year investigation based on the facts and evidence โ€“ not politics. Judges have upheld the trial courtโ€™s finding that Donald Trump, his company, and his two sons are liable for fraud.  

โ€œI am a proud woman of faith, and I know that faith and fear cannot share the same space. And so today I am not fearful, I am fearless, and as my faith teaches me, no weapon formed against me shall prosper. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights. And I will continue to do my job.โ€

Seeing many posts about how ICE isn't trained. That's not really the problem. The problem is what they were sent to do, not whether they're qualified to do it.

I just had a neighbor ask "how are you." The social negotiation required to produce a concise, non-committal answer has depleted my energy for the next two fiscal quarters.

โ€œWe Took the Freedom of Speech Awayโ€ Is Somehow a Direct Quote From Donald Trump Trump's definition of "freedom of speech" does not appear to incorporate anything the Supreme Court has said on the subject.

โ€œWe took the freedom of speech away. Thatโ€™s been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but-"

to be clear itโ€™s not just the courts that say you have that freedom

itโ€™s the Constitution

right there in the First Amendment

A: He will create the organization, and then destroy it.

My stance is very simple: dems should negotiate as soon as, and not before, every impounded dollar is restored, every illegally fired employee is restored, every unconstitutional act is reversed

lede = introductory section in journalism

bury the lede = hiding the most relevant pieces of a story within other distracting information

Allegedly, itโ€™s spelled โ€˜ledeโ€™ to avoid confusion with โ€˜lead,โ€™ which was the strip of metal that would separate lines of type.
