Lindsey Halligan has a broadcast journalism degree from Regis University in Denver. I am confident they covered how "off the record" works.
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.

2nd time they did this.
Still appalled at how paltry and terrible the NYT coverage of the protests were and how nobody there feels any responsibility to address the criticism. This was not something that caught them off guard. This was many levels of decisions.

If ANYONE ELSE ON THE PLANET did to our White House what Donald Trump just did to our White House, Republicans would be losing their motherfucking minds.

No. 19: Days of Rage by Bryan Burrough. I’m not yet a dad, but I want to propose a new type of dad to add to the pantheon of Civil War and World War II dads: the mid-century politics dad.

8/ If Halligan wasn't validly appointed, then everything she's done has been ultra vires and void ab initio. That means the stuff she's done gets unwound.

Halligan was the only lawyer willing to sign the James Comey and Letitia James indictments. As far as we can tell, she & only she secured them.

1/ Thanks to Comey's lawyers, we have the appointment order for Lindsey Halligan in EDVa that the gov't has been trying to hide for weeks.

I think it means Halligan is not long for this job & the Comey and Tish James indictments not long for this world.

This is what Trump is currently doing to the White House East Wing. Look at the broken and unusable windows destroyed and just hanging off their hinges. no attempt to save anything for re-use or history. Such respect for the People's house, eh?

One thing I try to unpack in the piece: The Trumpists launched an unhinged demonization campaign against “No Kings” – and then did nothing.

So, they didn’t believe their own propaganda? Not the specifics, no. But they do believe that all protest is fundamentally illegitimate.

polls, special election victories, massive protests, I think have slowly forced elites to realize that MAGA's eternal ascendancy is very much not assured. 1

You really can’t make this shit up.

Live ammunition detonates over I-5 and damages CHP vehicle being used for Vance security at Pendleton. This, after the VP mocked Newsom’s safety concerns about live rounds being shot across the nation’s busiest highway.

Haven’t seen a WH reply since.

Yes. We were relieved for the hostages, prisoners and children of Gaza…

…but knew the genocide would continue.
All week the pro-Israel and pro-Trump supporters screamed at us, in unison: why aren’t you celebrating the ceasefire??

Because we knew it wouldn’t last. But even I didn’t think it’d be over in less than a week. What a complete & utter humiliation for Trump, thanks to Netanyahu.

Our pro-democracy movement is surging. Now it’s up to each of us to channel this incredible energy into the organizing power it will take to win.

Join us on Tuesday for a mass call of movement leaders and activists to discuss what’s next: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even... #NoKings

You cannot pick and choose when to care about uninformed & under informed consent and infection.

It can’t be ok when you spread disease but not ok in a controlled research setting.

Let’s have a think on this.

And consider the number & demographics of ppl living with Long COVID.

We got here today bc most ppl do not care who they infect with COVID and what may happen to them afterwards.

And then y’all are going to pearl-clutch over this and how we got back here.

Come off it.

At one point in the meeting, the US president threw Ukraine’s battlefield map to one side...Trump said he was “sick” of seeing the map of the frontline of Ukraine again and again.

“This red line, I don’t even know where this is. I’ve never been there,” Trump said, according to the official

it is unbelievable the degree to which legacy news media continues to normalize this administration. The Fourth Estate has neutered itself.
