Watch live: New York State attorney general Letitia James holds news conference

A federal judge in New York temporarily blocked Musk and his team on Saturday from accessing government processing systems after attorneys general in 19 states filed suit. The states, led by New York Attorney General Letitia James, argue Musk and his assistants aren’t authorized to access the payment system, could jeopardize confidential information and could block federal funds to states for health clinics, preschools, climate initiatives, and other programs.

First time in my life I’ve been afraid to live in my country. As a senior citizen I’ve been a hardworking citizen, paid my taxes & bills, on time & in full… Is this what I have to look forward to?

How is it only 18 states suing? Smh

A violation of the law is a criminal act. He should be arrested, and charges brought against him. This is now where he is escorted out of the United States of America's Presidential office and House.

Thank you, Letitia! I support what you, and the other Attorney Generals are doing. All of this is very disturbing to me. I take great pains to safeguard my own sensitive data. And to have an unelected official, who has not been vetted at all, come along and have free access to ALL of our sensitive data is dangerous. I am with you in the pushback.

[bluespruce]

Thank you AG's! And to all the men and women of law enforcement who stand with them!

[tammyg]

[JolieB-ce]

It’s always a black woman that has enough balls to stand up to Trump. I salute her! Protect her at all cost!
