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.

Tell your friend she's crazy (for the classism). She got a man who knows how to *do things*! And has she seen the price of custom furniture?
Wtf would she prefer? A Wall Street fuckboi who will trade her in for a younger model the second she's no longer young and hot? These young'uns gotta learn...
If Mike Johnson climbs any further up Donald Trump's ass, he's going to come out of his mouth.

The U.S. won’t be recognizable after he’s gone. Rose Garden turned into a Mar a Lago-style cafe, East Wing turned into a secret documents storage facility, Oval Office into a cheesy gold room, people turned into uneducated poor, the Constitution turned into meaningless paper. #ETTD
Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

Same. I really, really dislike having hatred in my heart. I try so hard to be a benevolent, forgiving person.
But this whole MAGA thing is testing me.
We're crying with you. That's *our house*. He's just a tenant. He doesn't get to do that.
Recognize the rage in your sadness and channel it appropriately. I know you know how.

Trump and Vance’s outbursts at peaceful protestors reveal a disturbing truth:

They’re not afraid to insult American voters because they’re counting on gerrymandered maps to drown their voices out.

They act untouchable. We’re organizing to show them they’re not.

“.. They are the asylum seekers, the rule followers. They go into the federal building holding papers .. hoping for a measure of due process. Some leave the courthouse with a hearing date set months or years from now. Others disappear into ICE’s prison system.”

ICE is now the 13th largest military in the world on its own.

Never ever accept the lie we cannot pay for Universal Healthcare.
Does he not understand that tenants aren't allowed to do major construction work/o landlord approval?

WE ARE HIS LANDLORDS. THAT IS THE PEOPLE'S HOUSE!

We should evict him immediately and sue for damages.

Frogs in slowly heating water is a popular allegory for being unaware that you are being destroyed in an incrementally worsening situation.

But I'm drawing hope from the past week that we frogs may be a bit more aware of our situation than those allegorical frogs. #Hop

If a "clean CR" spikes my constituents’ health insurance premiums, it’s not clean. It’s dirty and puts the interests of the richest Americans ahead of Minnesota and I won’t vote for it.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
And they only need my name if there's an appointment or shipping involved.
Especially medical care for injuries sustained as a victim of violent crime.
It doesn't make sense outside of a capitalistic hellscape.
This right here perfectly encapsulates trying to have a reasonable conversation with a MAGA

No one's going to accuse Chenoweth of being a doomer--the number came from her own research/center--but everyone, please read this follow up article. It's not a magic number, sufficient of itself.

Lately I've seen many references to the 3.5% rule. A few years ago I pulled together this Q&A on potential uses and misuses of this statistic. www.hks.harvard.edu/sites/defaul...
