My office won our lawsuit and stopped the Trump administration from illegally withholding over $73 million in federal highway funding for New York.
Once again, @GovKathyHochul and I stood up to defend New York against the harms coming from this administration and won.
The federal administration is illegally withholding $73 million in highway funding for New York.
New Yorkers need safe roads and bridges to get to work, take their kids to school, and keep our economy moving.
I'm suing with @GovKathyHochul to ensure we get every dollar owed.

My office, the @FTC, and a bipartisan coalition are suing to block the merger of Covetrus and MWI, two of the largest distributors of veterinary supplies.
Pet owners already pay a ton for vet care. I won't let corporations buy out their rivals and make care harder to afford.

The people of Mississippi have spoken, and for the first time since Reconstruction, they’re sending a Black senator to represent them in DC.
@Scott_Colom, congratulations. I know Fannie Lou Hamer and so many others who fought for Mississippi are proud.

Carelon Behavioral Health wrongly denied addiction treatment coverage and failed to help New Yorkers find mental health providers who were taking new patients.
Now, we're making Carelon pay $10 million, reimburse impacted patients, and expand access to mental health care.

New York knows @sarbetter has dedicated her career to keeping New Yorkers informed and delivering top tier journalism day in and day out.
America knows family comes first, and I’m keeping her mother in my thoughts and praying for her family.
Joseph Makhani stole two Harlem brownstones, forcing one of the owners, an 83-year-old woman, to live in a shelter.
@NewYorkStateAG @TishJames took him to court. Today, he was sentenced to up to 21 years in prison.

Notorious deed thief Joseph Makhani has been sentenced to up to 21 years in prison for stealing two Harlem brownstones worth $4.7 million.
I'll keep standing up to deed thieves and fighting to keep New Yorkers in their homes.

.@TishJames campaigned for Rogerson (W!) and Devin Lander (down by only 93 votes) in two of the most competitive NY senate seats in the entire state.
Competing everywhere. Winning everywhere.
One of the most remarkable upsets in New York is near Albany in NY SD-44. Jim Tedisco (R) is one of the state's top Republican overperformers and has served in the NY legislature since 1983. He lost re-election.
Overall, the Hudson Valley was much bluer than our forecast anticipated; further areas upstate were redder.

.@TishJames will continue to sue Donald Trump and the Administration whenever they violate New Yorkers’ rights.
People, including me, would that say she is doing her job.

“Where my ladies at?” Attorney General Letitia James says, celebrating the record number of women elected to Congress.
“If there’s a man next to you who’s not clapping nudge them!” she adds.
(A sea of men begin clapping obediently.)

— Convicted a man who stole his neighbor's pension benefits
— Indicted a Hudson Valley cocaine trafficker

My office is announcing the arrest of David Herring for trafficking tens of thousands of dollars' worth of cocaine across the Hudson Valley.
I'll continue to protect New Yorkers from drug trafficking operations that flood our communities with dangerous narcotics.
“The home…will be returned, according to the New York State attorney general’s office, which brought the case.”
AG @TishJames used a new law she passed in 2023 to return a deed theft victim’s home. Doing the real work is about playing the long game.

Congratulations to @NewYorkStateAG Letitia James on defeating Bruce Blakeman's hateful order targeting transgender athletes, simply for playing a sport that they love.
Thanks to our Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act (GENDA), New Yorkers of every sexuality and gender-identity have the right to live free from persecution and discrimination. To our trans community: we have your back and you will always have a home in New York.

AG James championed new criminal deed theft laws. Then she used them to charge Quimis for stealing an elderly widow’s home.
Today, she secured his conviction and returned the home to its rightful owners.
@NewYorkStateAG has been fighting deed theft for years. She’s winning.

We secured $147,000 from Danilo Pesce after he stole over a hundred thousand dollars in pension benefits from his deceased neighbor.
My office won't allow anyone to break the law and steal from their neighbors.
