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.

For the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, Ryan Coogler did a five part doc for National Geographic. It just came out a couple days ago

And now you can stream it on Hulu and Disney+

if you want to have a nice and relaxing sunday, do not watch the new Hulu documentary on Hurricane Katrina. if you want to shake with rage and anger over the total failure of this nation's government and media establishment, watch the Hulu documentary on Katrina (this is a recommendation)

The next Democratic president can just impound the billions of extra ICE funding on day one, right? Withhold it without any explanation? Since that’s a thing presidents can do now?

I had a dream that my energy & climate hero @volts.wtf, who absolutely fucking hates talking about food & climate, would do an episode about WE ARE EATING THE EARTH. He did it!

It was so fun and I am so grateful.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.

They are in charge.

We were in an awesome spot with gear, and tariffs are likely to mess it all up.
