I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.
This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

President Trump's memo on national security and domestic terrorism (NSPM-7) has dangerously broad sweep. "There's a whole swathe of civil society that could easily be designated and basically shut down," says the Brennan Center's @faizapatel.bsky.social.
If You Can Keep It: Trump, hate speech, and free speech
Trump signed a memo designating groups like “Antifa” and Black Lives Matter as terrorist organizations.

“Don’t be fooled by those in Epstein’s circle who say they didn’t know what he was doing. Epstein … took a certain glee in making people watch. And people did watch — scientists, fundraisers from the Ivy League and other heralded institutions, titans of industry. They watched and they didn’t care.”

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.

Social movements are more likely to have success when three factors are present: elite conflict, shifting public opinion, and elite blunders.
Mass collective action can create the conditions for these factors to emerge and deepen.

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

Biden's domestic agenda was 100% correct. The problem was his inability to sell it, due to old age and lack of understanding of mass communications in the '20s. (Also, his foreign policy handed Trump the election.) Efforts to force Dems back into a '90s-'00s agenda are both wrong and unnecessary.

We can't settle for Republicans’ promise of later negotiations. Because every time this Administration says something, they go back on their word.
If Republicans need Democratic votes, they need to keep health care premiums from skyrocketing for the American people.

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down.
All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown.
So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!
