EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

We all knew Trump was going to sell out Ukraine to Putin. All his false promises - to end the war in 24 hours, to sanction Russia, provide Tomahawks, on and on. All bs. Pro-Ukraine GOP Sens & Reps suddenly silent. The US abandons allies under Trump. Putin owns Trump like a dog.

Me: “Girls, do you know why the protest is called ‘No Kings’?”

Sydney (7): “Yeah because none of these people want a boy to be President and we should have a girl instead.”

Close enough!

protesting was awesome.

now it's time to make sure we take this energy to the ballot boxes in New Jersey and Virginia.

Mike Sherrill and Abigail Spanberger are on the top of the tickets and would make excellent governors.

vote blue all the way down.

talk to your friends and family.

let's win.

I sent this to my Congressman, Nick Langworthy NY23 in response to his statement that "There is no place in America for violent demonstrations by paid agitators funded by wealthy, individuals on the extreme left."

On Saturday October 18th, I’m asking you to attend the No King’s March in your local communities. We have witnessed the increasing authoritarianism and its policies in our country. We dissent.

Free speech is the bedrock of democracy, and today we see too many attempts to silence criticism and intimidate opposition.

This will be a nonviolent, peaceful protest. We come not with fear but with hope. We come to remind our government: we are watching. We will speak. We will gather. We will insist: power must answer to the consent of the people in our democracy.

Thank you so much! I am going to share your message with my Congressman Nick Langworthy because this is his reply to a constituent when asked about Republicans labeling peaceful protesters as an organized group of terrorists, worthy of extra-judicial execution. 1/

The same should hold true in every state with a D trifecta. No more surrendering to the GOP, and John Roberts, in the purported (and misguided) name of "good government."

The only thing that Democratic voters in NY State should be focused on is getting our leaders to commit to eliminating each and every Republican House district in the State.

It’s been 20 days since Arizona’s 7th District elected Adelita Grijalva, and Speaker Johnson still hasn’t sworn her in.

Meanwhile, federal workers are TWO days from missing a paycheck, and Johnson has House Republicans at home on an extended vacation.

Weakest Speaker ever.

Being told ICE is being extra aggressive with protesters this morning in Chicago. Haven’t seen any video yet, but there have been some pretty dramatic escalations. If you’re out there protesting or protecting a school, be smart. Keep your head on a swivel.

Spread the word, please.
