This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.
I am not fearful — I am fearless.
We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights.
.@TishJames hired me over 10 years ago. I'm so grateful for her trust in me to lead as we took on the biggest fights, always standing up for New Yorkers.
I'm honored to bring my experience, vision, and love for advancing just causes to Hopewell Fund as its first president.
“I am very familiar with strongmen from Queens interested in protecting their legal liabilities & their reputations by getting into office. NYers deserve a mayor who is interested in making this city better, not one interested in using the position for personal gain.” -@TishJames
My office and my fellow AGs across the nation have been fighting this administration's attacks on our most basic rights and critical services that millions of families rely on.
Tonight, I'm honored to be able to hear from New Yorkers to help us continue to protect the people.
Donald Trump’s DOJ just arrested a sitting judge, Hannah Dugan, for standing up for due process for immigrants.
This is why we’ve been sounding the alarm on authoritarianism. It’s happening and it’s extremely dangerous.
Speak up.
4. Bottom line: Tish James joins a growing list of prosecutors to be targeted by Pres. Trump. She won't be the last. His revenge tour is underway -- facts and law be damned.
I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.
What’s most clear to me tonight is that this is just the beginning, that Americans across this country, no matter their title or party, are ready to be heard.
I believe that history will show we rose to meet this moment.
It will show we did not let the chaos and division go unanswered.
It will show that when our president chose to spread lies and sow fear, we chose to come together, to work together, and to rise together.
