New York Attorney General Letitia James announced on July 29, 2026, that she has joined Substack, where she will share updates on the Office of the Attorney General’s ongoing work fighting for New Yorkers. Her inaugural article is titled “New York Never Backs Down.”
According to the announcement, the article describes how the Office of the Attorney General has challenged the federal administration’s attempts to withhold funding and threaten essential services for New Yorkers. The office said its work protected hundreds of billions of dollars in taxpayer funds, thousands of jobs, and services including health care, education, transportation, and offshore wind development.
“Over the past year and a half, my office has filed 74 lawsuits challenging unlawful federal actions. We are leading 38 of those cases, more than half of the lawsuits filed during this period. And when courts have ruled, we have prevailed 88% of the time.”
The announcement said that, since January 20, 2025, the office’s legal actions protected more than $230 billion in taxpayer dollars for New York. That figure includes $122.5 billion in illegal cuts and another $107.8 billion subjected to coercive conditions. It also said the office saved more than 225,000 jobs.
The full article, “New York Never Backs Down,” is available on Attorney General James’ Substack.
