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.

As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end.
In the meantime:
• Figure out a small way to help someone
• Figure out a small way to fight back
• Figure out a small place to find joy
• Figure out a small way to grow and thrive
And do it often.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.
Pay attention and act!

Can't wait to see the QI motion on this. "There's no way this brave law enforcement officer could have known that it was wrong to open a door holding a dog and then shoot the dog."
CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.
The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.
While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop.
The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.
