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.

This is what I wrote in December 2024 and what I continue to believe today.

Trump is a bully and bullies prey on the weak. They understand the power of fear and exploit it. Capitulating to Trump makes you more vulnerable, not less. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/now-...

An underreported and really nasty fact: DOJ Friday was full of political allies from around the country. Career staff –the life blood of the place –were forbidden from attending, unless expressly invited by the regime. It was a meeting of the Vichy govt in Paris with all Nazis and a few quislings.

Elon Musk’s staffers visited the U.S. Institute of Peace, accompanied by two FBI agents. They were met at the door by a lawyer who informed them that the institute holds “private and independent status as a non-executive branch agency.” Following this, the staffers left.

Hegseth has ordered the Pentagon to STOP offensive cyber operations against Russia. This is insane. Russia is actively targeting the U.S., and the ability to conduct offensive operations (which was authorized by Trump in 2018!*) was at least one deterrent. Not anymore www.nytimes.com/2025/03/02/u...
Hegseth Orders Pentagon to Stop Offensive Cyberoperations Against Russia
The defense secretary’s instructions, which were given before President Trump’s blowup with the Ukrainian president, are apparently part of an effort to draw Russia into talks on the war.

Zelenskyy doesn't wear a suit in the Oval but Elon can wear a T-shirt and ballcap, and this mentally unstable scarecrow can do this? (Close your legs, honey. No one wants to see that. )

Y’all, we are going to win. We are up against people who cannot even use punctuation correctly. Stay the course. We will prevail.

(Oh and Ed Martin should resign based on this post alone)
The U.S. attorney in Washington says DOJ "will be vigilant in standing against entities" like the Associated Press, that "refuse to put America first."

The AP's transgression is, apparently, not adopting the president's preferred name for the Gulf of Mexico.

2. Danced onstage with a chainsaw
3. Ignored my new baby momma
4. Laughed at my own jokes.
5. Neglected all of my children except for the one I use as a human shield.

Mexico is Texas' largest trading partner.

Trump's 25% tariffs aren't just going to raise prices - they're going to put Texans out of business.

Many Texas truck operators, warehousing companies, car dealers, and more won't survive this tax hike.
