Bondi dismisses charges in Dr. Moore prosecution!
"Thank you @AGPamBondi for listening to the voters in the end and not letting this trial drag on another week.
I want to thank everyone who pitched in making sure Dr. Moore didn't serve any time and is not a felon."

“The United States of America won’t stand for a socialist New York City, never mind the Upper East Side. And not to mention the real estate moguls who’ve fallen in love for the first time with the current mayor, Eric Adams. They view him as the best bet against the pro-Palestinian and socialist Mamdani, whose policies would be bad for business.”
“Already, fundraisers are being held in the Hamptons and uptown, with high rollers writing checks and making pledges to support Adams, who looks as if he just won the lottery. Dapper and smiling while shaking hands, Adams is the sudden beneficiary of New York City’s richest residents.”
