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..

As I’ve been saying,
“The facts are clear. Fascist takeovers prevented after winning power democratically: zero. Average length of fascist rule once established: 31 years. Fascist regimes removed by voting: zero. Most were removed by war or military coups, and tens of millions died in the process.”

The case against Comey is so weak, the prosecutor resigned rather than being charges and insurance litigator Lindsey Halligan was appointed by Trump because she's the only one who would do it. youtu.be/2agNBmnpqvc?...

Siri, what is the random walk hypothesis and does it only apply to the United States?
Trump: "This is the only country in the world where you announce great numbers & the stock market goes down, bc when you announce great numbers they immediately want to take that success away by raising the interest rates. Why can't you announce great numbers and let them lower the interest rates?"

Trump and his cronies claim they support immigration as long as it’s done legally.
But today, thousands of Afghans in the U.S. lose their Temporary Protected Status. They’re here legally and would be targeted by the Taliban if they had to return home.
The cruelty is the point.

Trump’s announcement on Russia/Ukraine is not significant. 1) we’re not paying for weapons, we are selling them to NATO, 2) secondary 100% tariffs isolate the US from Russia sphere of influence, a strategic goal for Putin, 3) 50 day window provides pretext for attack escalation.
