What security clearance? Anyway, this is just another attempt to distract from the real work the Attorney General is doing to defend the rights of New Yorkers and all Americans.
Colorado’s law protecting young people from unscientific and cruel gay conversion therapy practices is humane, smart, and appropriate.
So obviously, we will continue to file these lawsuits, continue to protect America from this out-of-control billionaire and president.
Thousands of probationary federal workers who were illegally fired by Trump spent every day serving our country. They relied on their jobs to put food on the table and care for their families. Now, I'm suing to defend these workers and…
The Trump administration's illegal funding freeze jeopardized law enforcement funding, essential health care and childcare services, and other critical programs that millions of Americans rely on.
I hope that Donald Trump has enough humanity to recognize that releasing Derek Chauvin would cause untold injury to George Floyd’s family.
I would support her if she ran, I've always supported her in everything she's done. She would be field-clearing.
The power of the purse belongs to Congress — not the president. I will continue to fight to uphold our laws and protect the vital funding and programs that New Yorkers need.
Based on a thorough review of the evidence, I've directed the Office of Statewide Prosecution to execute search warrants and issue subpoenas.
The de facto denial of services to hard-working Americans is at odds with the President's vows.

People can spin or defend however they want, but in Florida, this type of behavior is viewed as atrocious.
These guys have themselves publicly admitted to participating in what very much appears to be soliciting, trafficking, preying upon women around the world.
Let today’s charges be a warning for all those who abuse their power.
The constitution allows the Congress to have the power of the purse. Trump just says 'no, I don't want it to go there.'
It is wrong morally to persecute a minority group like the transgender community.
I see us winning. I think that the 10th amendment of the Constitution says that Minnesota gets to write Minnesota laws.
They are not the identical situation, but it is hard to have consistency if you are saying abortion should be a state issue and transgender health care should not be a state issue.
For most of my adult life, I grew up understanding that one of the cores of the conservative platform was empowering states’ rights and (encouraging) state laboratories of democracy and the like.
Florida has zero tolerance for human trafficking and violence against women.
