I hope my California friends didn’t forget that Texas Republicans are so desperate to rig the midterms that a couple of months ago they held a state rep hostage in the legislature & wouldn’t even let her use her phone from the bathroom.

Turnout to vote by 11/4!

"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.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Every Republican on the Sunday shows should be forced to watch the Air Feces One video and then be asked, β€œIs the President sane?”

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

The Santos commutation is a prelude to a Ghislaine Maxwell pardon.

Himes: If you've got the capability to blow a boat out of the water, you've got the capability to interdict it, arrest everyone on board, interrogate them, and find out where it was going, where it came from, who the bosses are, and what the distribution networks look like.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: DOJ Deputy Chief Joseph Schnitt was caught on a hidden camera saying the government will β€œredact every Republican” from the Epstein files and leave only the Democrats.

He also revealed that Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred to a minimum security β€œto keep her mouth shut.”

Legal Issues Raised by a Lethal U.S. Military Attack in the Caribbean The Trump administration’s extraordinary lethal attack on this purported smuggling vessel raises significant potential legal issues.

1/ I worked at DoD. I literally cannot imagine lawyers coming up with a legal basis for lethal strike of suspected Venezuelan drug boat.

Hard to see how this would not be "murder" or war crime under international law that DoD considers applicable.

Watch @premthakker.bsky.social confront Rep. Randy Fine about why he doesn’t support Congress disclosing files related to Jeffrey Epstein.

He also speaks to Rep. Thomas Massie about how his GOP colleagues are hiding and not releasing the Epstein files.

NEW: Landmark decision on UK's failure to investigate Russian interference to be handed down tomorrow A five-year legal battle in UK and European courts comes to a head: will we finally - learn the truth about the Kremlin & the Brexit vote?

This is a really big deal. Who knows what will happen but this is a really solid case brought by a group of incredible MPs and human rights lawyers.

And all they want is for the UK government to try and find out the truth.
