We’ve updated our story with an additional comment provided by the United States Justice Department.

At 4:10 p.m., she texted me: "By the way-everything I ever sent you is off record. You're not a journalist so it's weird saying that but just letting you know."
I responded: "I'm sorry, but that's not how this works. You don't get to say that in retrospect."
Halligan was unpersuaded: "Yes I do. Off record."
"I am really sorry. I would have been happy to speak with you on an off the record basis had you asked," I said. "But you didn't ask, and I still haven't agreed to speak on that basis. Do you have any further comment for the story?
To my surprise, she kept going: "It's obvious the whole convo is off record. There's disappearing messages and it's on signal. What is your story? You never told me about a story."
I didn't respond. It was time to publish my story. I'll text it to her.
Postscript: Read the full exchange between Lindsey Halligan and Lawfare's Anna Bower here.

Highlighted text: “Hours after Lawfare published this article, Justice Department spokeswoman Natalie Baldassarre provided the following additional comment:

“Thank you for including my statement in your story. I just realized I spelled Lindsey's name wrong in the initial response, would you mind correcting?

Everyone who carefully constructed obfuscations in politics over the last hundred years must feel like a real dummy. Actually you can call it The Department of Murder. You can post a video of yourself dumping diarrhea on the public. You can go on TV and say "I am stealing from you lol"

i understand that dr. zack isn’t for everybody and that if you’re a longtime football fan, you don’t get a lot out of his segments. but they’re a great way for casual fans and newcomers to learn football concepts like the alphabet

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

Chris Geidner @chrisgeidner.bsky.social · 1d

NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

Dems cannot cave for anything less than the subsidies being in the funding bill, otherwise what the fuck were you doing this for? (I still think they should keep it shut down until they get more protections against this administration but im not in charge)
