This is actually a huge and underreported aspect of this situation. WE ALL HAVE SHIT TO DO. Got to work in the morning. Got to get our kids to school, if in fact the schools are open. Life was hard ALREADY and NOW we have to live with THIS taking all our valuable time, energy, and brain space.

Every race. It’s basically been every race.

Governors. Mayors. Long-held GOP dog-catchers. School boards. Water boards. Flipped a dungeon master in a rural Iowa D&D club. State senators. State reps. A janitor in Duluth. State justices. Three GOP Uber drivers.

Just everything.

"Anna, Lindsey Halligan Here." Anna Bower Monday, October 20, 2025, 5:40 PM Share On: f X inK My Signal exchange with the interim U.S. attorney about the Letitia James grand jury.

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.

I went to the Senate floor to tell a story about Trump’s first 100 days - a story of daily, norm shattering corruption.

I laid out 40 different corrupt acts - each one alone could have taken down previous presidents.

1/ A 🧵 of my speech. People need to know this story.

Here it is. A timetable of 100 days of corruption.

Breathtaking. Heartbreaking.

We cannot let this stand.

Queer intel officers targeted by top secret chat leak get their chance to speak Chris Rufo published the chats. Staffers say a new "lavender scare" is upon us.

NEW—In late Feb, Chris Rufo published leaked chats between queer/trans employees at US intel agencies. Then Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said she’d fire all involved.

I spoke to chat members who were fired, are on admin leave, and who kept their jobs about the new lavender scare:

Nicklas Backstrom and Alex Ovechkin shared an emotional moment in the locker room after Ovi broke the NHL goals record.

The two hugged and held up the milestone 895-goal puck for a photo.

Ovi: "I tell him, without you, I can never get that milestone."

BREAKING: Capitals star Alexander Ovechkin breaks Wayne Gretzky's record for most goals in NHL history. nbcnews.to/4iWlcTI

Alex Ovechkin is the leading goal scorer in National Hockey League history. 895. It came from his office. It had to. It's utterly surreal to be a part of this moment, and it can't be narrated any better than Joe Beninati did. Just watch. As many times as it takes. It's real. #ALLCAPS

Try that in a small town ICE disappeared a mother and 3 children. Neighbors of Trump's Border Czar said hell no.

New — I spoke to the school principal of Sackets Harbor, NY, where ICE handcuffed and disappeared a mother and 3 kids (including a 3rd grader). It’s also the town Trump Border Czar Tom Homan calls home.

Cook tells me about how the small town is taking on enormous power to bring the students home:

With High Tariffs, Has Trump Ended Or Revived Neoliberalism? Donald Trump's problematic tariff plan will engender a 'capital strike' from big business and the rest of the world. Wall Street is planning revenge. Small business is panicking. What comes next?

A thought provoking, well written piece by @matthewstoller.bsky.social about Trump’s #tariffs open.substack.com/pub/mattstol...

Alex Ovechkin turned down chance to score goal no. 895 on an empty net: ‘He wants to break the record with a goaltender in the crease’ WASHINGTON DC -- Over his 20-year NHL career, Alex Ovechkin has rarely passed up a chance to score. Ovechkin made history Friday…

Behind the Curtain: What you gotta believe for Trump to be right on tariffs Trump is gambling with an issue that immediately hits every American who has investments.

www.axios.com/2025/04/04/t...

Everyone needs to read Senator Chris Murphy’s post. This is exactly it.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Wrote up something about Techdirt's recent coverage, and why (whether we like it or not) we need to be a "democracy blog" now, rather than just a "tech" blog (not that we've ever been just a tech blog).

This story is *the* story and it impacts everything else.

Email sent to FFSP.

The Fulbright Foreign Student Program invites graduate students from abroad to come study in the US and guarantees funding for them to do so paid in a monthly stipend. Yesterday, some FFSP scholars received notification that they're only getting a week of their stipend.

Transgender Service Members Aren’t the Problem The problem is people in high office who can’t recognize bravery, patriotism, and sacrifice.

"In total, I commanded five transgender airmen. (All airmen, regardless of gender, are 'airmen,' by the way.) Like all airmen, they had their strengths and their weaknesses.…Good commanders take care of their people. I hope I took good care of mine. I tried to treat them with dignity and respect."

Republicans have constituents screaming at them about Elon deleting their jobs, but that has to come second to the whims of the world's richest man, who will dump money in their opponents' laps if they stray.

Musk's GOP takeover is the culmination of a post-Citizens United USA.

How the Trump Administration Is Erasing History and Ignoring the Wishes of Descendants of Confederate Leaders Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth recently renamed Fort Liberty, North Carolina, choosing the name Fort Bragg. Not that Bragg, though.

ALI United States District Judge

A huge decision from Judge Amir Ali, meticulously reasoned and utterly scathing, finding that Trump’s foreign aid freeze is almost certainly an illegal and arbitrary abuse of power. He orders the immediate restoration of all international assistance. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important

Make the Trump Administration, Elon Musk, and his “DOGE” bros prove that they are in compliance with the existing federal court orders.

Put some teeth on these court orders.

Non-compliance=contempt of court
