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.
that is great to hear!
GOD. FUCKING. DAMNIT. GUESS WERE REWATCHING ALL OF NEWSROOM AGAIN THIS WEEKEND. SURE WHY NOT. ONLY SEEN IT 10 TIMES. FUCK IT.
i’m always delighted to see john gallagher jr. (jim) in this show. before the newsroom, he was one of my favorite theatre actors. he originated the role of moritz in spring awakening (my all-time fave!) and i was lucky to see him in “jerusalem” and “american idiot.” so, so good
re: the speech
seems to me that people irl today would react very differently to will’s speech than the people in the show did
on both the left and right
(wrt the latter, the very concept of “make america great again” itself implies that america is not “great” anymore)
can’t believe i’m doing this again (re-watching the newsroom)
Now that you might have to make changes to the WITAOD hat, you might take a page from the House Un-American Activities Committee book:
Are You Now or Have You Ever Been an Administrator of DOGE?
WHESATAODOIFH?
there was a bit of drama at the end because security wouldn’t let people leave the theater during the Q & A. But when the would-be exiters made a scene, they opened the doors. I imagine the heavy security had something to do with Gibney (the director) and St. Clair (Elon’s ex) being there.
Full body security screenings ahead of “Musk” showing in NYC (followed by Q & A with Alex Gibney and Ashley St. Clair) I asked if they did this before every showing and the security guy said “No. This is special.”
i was there!!

A few days ago, Georgia State Election Board Vice Chair Janelle King had Georgia election denier Garland Favorito on her podcast, telling him she "love[s] ... that you give us the full picture" & defending him being called a conspiracy theorist, saying, "You should all be conspiracy theorists."
Here's what Tina Peters — who has said she's visited the White House at least six times since her release from prison — has said on podcasts about her election plans & proposals.
Ed Martin says that Tina Peters met with Trump in the Oval Office today to discuss election integrity and “the plans” for the upcoming midterms elections.
