Hi, there, everyone.

Happy Tuesdays, 4 o'clock in New York.

Quote, I fear no man.

In a moment of profound crisis for our very democracy,

one of the top targets on Donald Trump's perceived enemies list saying,

in effect, bring it on. New York Attorney General Letitia James made her first public comments

since being indicted on fraud charges, charges that were considered too questionable by the

previous Republican appointed U.S. attorney, the Deputy Attorney General of the United States, and the Attorney General herself as well.

That is according to Brandenayor reporting in the New York Times.

Tish James striking a note of defiance last night, and without mentioning Donald Trump by name,

tying together the weaponization of the Department of Justice with Donald Trump's full-on assault on our institutions.

Take a listen.

We see powerful voices trying to silence truth and punish dissent and, yes, weaponize justice for political gain.

Thank you. weaponized justice for political gain. We are witnessing the fraying of our democracy,

the erosion of our system of government.

This, my friends, is a defining moment in our history.

Let us stand together to defend our rights, to protect every safeguard,

every institution, every immigrant, every norm, and every rule of law.

You see, I know what it feels like to be attacked for just doing your job.

But I also know what it feels like to overcome adversity. And so I stand on solid rock.

And I will not bow. I will not break. I will not bow.

I will not break.
