This looks like one of those "Who did this?" posts, but it's actually a real cartoon and article from The Nation that was even retweeted by the author.
I don't care how much you hate Letitia James, whoever drew that cartoon did her wrong!
Victor, you're a legend!
Let's dive into the article:
Since Trump's reelection, James has emerged as a North Star in the chaos, inspiring progressives in New York and nationally. 'Tish James and the other state AGs on the front lines of this fight are not only defending a Constitution and federal laws against a Supreme Leader and lawless autocrats,' says Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD). 'They are also showing the country what real attorneys general do by acting for the people and the rule of law instead of a right-wing political putsch.'
Letitia James is throwing water on the fire that is Trump's chaos! Please clap.
James and her partner AGs have hit the president with a barrage of lawsuits that have temporarily halted some of his worst orders in the past seven months. Their cases blocked efforts to freeze federal funding; stopped the termination of federal workers fired illegally; blocked Elon Musk's DOGE from access to sensitive US Treasury material; halted Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s efforts to decimate Health and Human Services staffing; and temporarily restored $11 billion in health grants to states and cities. In early June, a court blocked the Trump administration's move to shutter the AmeriCorps program after New York and 24 other states joined a lawsuit to protect the popular federal community-service initiative.
They're stopping Trump from doing the things he was elected to do!
Letitia James is a hero, and we should thank her for her service.
A little foreshadowing here: It's not really going to work.
Whether their legal actions will help to permanently blunt the worst of Trump's agenda remains to be seen, given that major cases remain pending in the Supreme Court. But they are certainly getting people's attention.
You know what else got people's attention?
This cartoon!
Had to show it to you again!
