New Yorkers call AG Letitia James office Monday. She gets things done, successfully convicted Trump of fraud and hasn’t backed down. I had personal experience with her team when Cuomo leaked NYers data and they are all you’d hope of civil servants.

This amounts to the most significant data leak in cyber history. Private individuals in the data business now have access to your Social Security information.

"The bipartisan FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 directs the Administration to hire the maximum number of air traffic controllers. That's what the law says, so the Administration must rescind this ridiculous executive order," Ranking Member Larsen said. "Hiring air traffic controllers is the number one safety issue according to the entire aviation industry. Instead of working to improve aviation safety and lower costs for hardworking American families, the Administration is choosing to spread bogus DEl claims to justify this decision. I'm not surprised by the President's dangerous and divisive actions, but the Administration must reverse course.
