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.

He should meet his Sixth Congressional District of Minnesota constituents in some town halls. Tom Emmer is out of touch with reality and out of touch with his district.

Full text of former PiPress media columnist Brian Lambert’s Facebook post excoriating the Strib in particular and the news media in general for dereliction of duty in the King Trump II era — you don’t have to be logged in to FB to read it. It’s a scorcher. www.facebook.com/share/p/17JU...
I can't tell you how much I miss well written coverage about the twin cities media.
🧵 on Strib’s (lack of) major Sunday issue reporting on huge, existential-level No Kings protests in Mpls and the state

Just gave it up for brave Pesto, the most beautiful golden girl. Good luck!

I'm posting an updated Pesto fundraiser. I added in all the details on GoFundMe. We are cautiously optimistic because she is slowly responding to the very expensive medication Marquis. She is also being treated for Lyme. Plus lots of vet visits and fluids/ bloodwork. gofund.me/ee16714e

Picture of the dancers here is in front of the East Wing entrance, which was demolished today.

But after demolition, there is Reconstruction.
Last night I was lucky to attend President Biden's celebration of Greek Independence Day at the White House. That I had the chance to work in the White House would’ve blown the minds of my Greek grandparents. Let’s expand that promise of America to all.

Not to be THAT dictionary, but…

It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’
It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’
It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’
It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

Surprised to see some people saying "doggy-dog world" is better in replies—it doesn't even make sense or mean the same thing!

Multiple people noting it is "champing at the bit" not "chomping at the bit" good, well done.

I've seen & been annoyed by all of these. Last one amuses me though.

Where my NYT defenders at?
The New York Times has been complicit for a long while now, but this goes beyond complicity to intentional disinformation.

I like the No Kings Movement flag very well. It has such great design, I think I will start calling the No Kings Movement flag by the nickname Old Glory.

“What appeared to be AI”???

You can’t possibly say one way or another???

NYT: “It’s possible he flew the actual plane and dropped said actual brown liquid (or whatever it was), we don’t know, so we can’t definitively say it’s AI…”
