Jim Walden for NYC @jimfornyc.bsky.social · 25/06/2025
Tonight the Democratic primary ended. Now, our campaign begins. Jim Walden earned a spot on the general election ballot—not with party deals, but with over 24,000 signatures from real New Yorkers. Independent. Honest. The Real Deal. #JimWalden #NYC2025 #IndependentVoice #FixNYC

100% this would prompt a DOJ investigation of violations of the Espionage Act among other possible crimes with any independent DOJ. if it doesn't happen here, it will be very revealing. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/25/u...

Whether the agencies open an investigation will bring into sharp relief the intended approach of their leaders, Kash Patel and Pam Bondi, who promised to administer impartial justice.

Cuomo or not, maybe it would be nice to let others have a say for a change? I'm a registered Democrat, but it strikes me as incredibly unfair that Republicans and independents don't have much of a say in NYC. A non-partisan election would be nothing if not fair.

The Sassoon to Bondi, and Bove to Sassoon, letters, are positively radioactive, and to a seasoned eye -- eg any judge on the SDNY -- expose Bove and Bondi as complete political actors indifferent to--worse, more than willing to undermine--longstanding DOJ policies about dismissal. This is not over.

Is it too obvious to call BS on "performance-based" firings?

Aliens have invaded the Department of Justice and they appear hostile. Whoever they are, they aren't prosecutors, not from this planet anyway. Looking forward to discussing w/ @nicollewallace.bsky.social + @timmiller.bsky.social @mollyjongfast.bsky.social & #BasilSmikle on @msnbc.com at 5 PM ET.

I've been asked a lot today about the differences between NYS #corruption prosecutions and federal. Here's a piece I published last month on the topic, which briefly discusses the Adams case. nysba.org/the-federal-...

As the article says, the bribery charges would be harder to bring under state law.

Thanks Eric. The acts appear to violate state law if the DA can prove them, particularly the campaign finance piece. Here's an article I published last month that touches on Adams and state-federal issues. nysba.org/the-federal-...

Many individual maneuvers of questionable constitutionality. But the dominant constant is Trump's dereliction of his core Art II duty to "Take Care That the Laws Be Faithfully Executed." open.substack.com/pub/harrylit...

It's almost like thousands of people just discovered the word "fraud" and are giving it their own private meaning. If only there were legal definitions....

Boy, the sanity here is an unexpected breath of fresh air. X is truly oppressive. I think I'll stay for a while.

I just met with Community Health Centers from Oregon that told me providers across our state are starting layoffs because of Trump's funding freeze. Donald Trump is already forcing kids and families to go without the health care they need.
