DOJ Prosecutor Says He’ll Just Keep Prosecuting Despite Court Ruling He Was Illegally Appointed
Another "fuck you" has been delivered to federal courts by the Trump administration. This time, the extended middle finger is embodied by (extremely recently now-former) US Attorney Bill Essayli. Essayli has made headlines here before, mainly for yelling ineffectively at prosecutors who were unable to convert bullshit cases against anti-ICE protesters into federal indictments. Essayli is angry, the papers said. Trump, however, seems to like him.

A little more than four years ago, Zohran Mamdani went on a 15-day hunger strike in an effort to push politicians to provide debt relief for New York City cab drivers.

This act of resistance perfectly foreshadowed the socialist's current mayoral campaign.
