Oh nooooo, Lindsey Halligan, this is not how any of this works

(15 screens into a Signal exchange) www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...
Screenshot of a text exchange via Signal between Anna Bower and Lindsay Halligan. Halligan: 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. Bower: I'm sorry, but that's not how this works. You don't get to say that in retrospect. Halligan: Yes I do. Off record. Bower: I am really sorry. I would have been happy to speak with you on an off the record basis had you asked. 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? Halligan: It's obvious the whole convo is off record. There's disappearing messages and it's on signal. What is your story? You never even told me about a story.

I never rake anyhow.
The wind here eventually disperses them. But. Think about all the good the leaves do over winter. Fallen leaves are Nature's blanket.

I am planning on going to No Kings gathering this weekend in central Texas. And since I was terminated by MSNBC a few weeks ago, can someone let me know where to pick up paycheck that GOP keeps talking about. I have asked many folks going to No Kings, and none are getting paid.

Did you know that a typhoon just hit Alaska & displaced over 1,000 people and washed away entire communities?

If your media isn't covering this, it's bc these are Indigenous communities.

I don't watch Fox, so I have no idea if they ran a segment on Don Lemon appearing on The Left Hook, saying people of color in Chicago should consider legally & peacefully exercising their 2nd Amendment Right to own arms.

Jesse Watters' show reached out to me for comment.

This is how I replied:

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

So it’s back to me to host #BirdOfTheDay and I’m thinking Ministry of Silly #Walks so basically any bird walking. The alternative is #photobomb when a bird flys or walks into shot. I’ve captioned this 👇“When you tell a teenager to do anything.” 😁 Good luck!! #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
A small sanderling bird with pale white plumage and mottled grey and brown markings scurries briskly across a wet sandy shore. Its slender black legs are mid-stride, reflecting lightly in the shallow water, while its pointed black bill faces forward as if in determined motion.
