"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.

β€œAnna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

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

Jimmy Kimmel’s Show to Return to ABC on Tuesday Night

Sinclair is refusing to air Kimmel based on ideological reasons-NOT consumer preference. It is extorting Kimmel to donate to Turning Point & apologize in exchnage for airing the show

Our work isn't done. If Sinclair owns a station in your market, boycott advertisers

Apologies for not adding alt text to all these photos. My cat is screaming her head off and if I don't let her outside right this instance, where I have to accompany her, I might die.

Hi, immunologist here:

(a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes)

RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can β€œsee in kids faces that they have inflammation”

That’s NOT how immunology works.

He is an anti-science profiteer.
Start calling him such.

Dems should literally create a collaborator's list and put names of institutions and people on it. "Here are people who helped undermine the US Constitution in order to help themselves." Anyone who goes on the list should know they're never coming off it.

Hello. The president's continued insistence that the BLS numbers are rigged, political, or otherwise manipulated is a lie. Please stop saying 'baseless claim.' Thank you.

On July 5, as floodwaters were starting to recede, FEMA received 3,027 calls from disaster survivors and answered 3,018, or roughly 99.7 percent, the documents show. Contractors with four call center companies answered the vast majority of the calls.

That evening, however, Ms. Noem did not renew the contracts with the four companies and hundreds of contractors were fired, according to the documents and the person briefed on the matter.

The next day, July 6, FEMA received 2,363 calls and answered 846, or roughly 35.8 percent, according to the documents. And on Monday, July 7, the agency fielded 16,419 calls and answered 2,613, or around 15.9 percent, the documents sho

More good advice from @jesscraven101.bsky.social here. The whole rep office uses the same call tracking system, and junior staff or interns in the district offices can take down your input too. Just be sure they know you’re a constituent, ask who you’re talking to, and (politely) request a response.

I would like for wealthy people excited for tax cuts to sign a piece of paper acknowledging that every dollar they get in tax breaks is going to be paid for by someone else…either someone not getting healthcare or SNAP or some future person paying higher taxes to pay the interest on our new debt.

The path for Democrats is very clear: have good ideas, believe in them, state them clearly, stick to them, act decisively in support of these ideas, speak to the young half of the electorate, support other democrats who do these things. Follow Mamdani and Lander's example or fade into nothingness.

The Senate must reject Emil Bove's nomination to the federal bench. His reprehensible conduct at the Justice Department disqualifies him from a lifetime appointment as a federal judge.

It sure seems like a lot of MAGA are using the phrase "this isn't what I voted for" these days.

For many, more than 1 of these is true:

1. They never really knew what they were voting FOR.
2. They were always voting against their best interests.
3. Their vote was to feed an addiction to dopamine.
