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 used to read books like Lord of the Rings or watch movies like Star Wars and think the villains were unbelievable. And of course, now watching the tech oligarchs (who could not spend all their money if they tried) destroy civilization for power, I’m like, guess I was wrong. People are that awful.

Ended up spending all day helping this little wonder into the world. Had to call the vet to pull her out (huge), and the mother wouldn’t recognize her at first. But I think we succeeded in the end. The first few days, the little ones are always fragile.

Waltz uses Signal through a 3rd party app that copies all his messages to - wait for it - Israeli servers.
I saw this story breaking about Mike Waltz and noticed something weird about his phone in that he isn’t actually using “signal” as in the secure messaging app but is using something MUCH worse that I haven’t seen reported on yet. Quick thread but it’s an Israeli intel guy behind it

Now they are quoting Goebbels in the U.S. Congress.
Joseph Goebbels was a literal Nazi and one of Hitler's closest allies.
To my Republican colleagues, it is probably best not to quote him during a congressional hearing.

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

Denmark decided to spend $3B on surface to air defence. Before Friday, it was practicality a given that the deal would go to US arms manufacturers. But then… www-dr-dk.translate.goog/nyheder/indl...

Just watched ‘Whiskey on the Rocks’ on Disney+. It’s a wonderful comedy/commentary on current world affairs. Highly recommended!
