The Nation Profiles Letitia James – Twitchy

August 12, 2025

We laughed. We’d honestly forgotten about Joan Walsh, but she has a new piece published in The Nation about “New York’s Bada** AG,” Letitia James. The illustration first caught our eye … we thought it was a post making fun of James. But no, it’s a lengthy article about how she has become a “North Star” to the Democrats.

Walsh writes:

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.”

…

That ability to break through the noise has earned James praise—and a hefty boost—among much of her state’s otherwise disgruntled Democratic base. “It’s my great pleasure to introduce… our badass attorney general, Tish James!” Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins said to the excited town hall crowd.

The evening was billed as a “hearing” to gather information on Trump’s assault on the entire public sector, but James likened it to a “road show” that she and her AG colleagues were taking around the country. They’re not just gathering evidence; they’re also trying to buoy the resistance to the second coming of Trump.

Quote from Tish James, sounding a lot like Beta O’Rourke: “We have to stop believing or following the rules. Break the rules. Stop coloring inside the lines.”

Just a reminder, she’s the chief legal officer of the State of New York. https://t.co/AAfNdy4aWb https://t.co/UYXRHn24FJ

@TishJames said a lot of things that should have disqualified her from that job. She telegraphed that her office would be used to target Trump and her political opponents.

Every time she sounded this unprofessional, I thought, “Earning her Soros funding.”

Is there a better definition of two-tiered justice than a prosecutor breaking the rules whenever she thinks it’s politically necessary?

She’s already broken the rules. Allegedly.

She is in very serious legal jeopardy.

They’ve never followed the rules to begin with.

Lawless fascists call for lawless fascism for their side, while calling our side lawless and fascistic for enforcing voter-authorized the law.

Hypocrisy is not a side effect of Leftism. It is the point: the liberty to think without admitting the consequences of thought.
