Texts From Hillary is a Tumblr blog created by Washington, D.C.-based communications professionals Stacy Lambe and Adam Smith David (Adam) Adam SmithOvernight Defense: Appeals court revives House lawsuit against military funding for border wall | Dems push for limits on transferring military gear to police | Lawmakers ask for IG probe into Pentagon's use of COVID-19 funds Democrats push to limit transfer of military-grade gear to police 40 groups call on House panel to investigate Pentagon's use of coronavirus funds MORE. The newly popular blog layers faux text messages over photos of the secretary of State holding her BlackBerry.

Smith tweeted Tuesday that he had met Clinton and that she “loves the site.”

Lambe told GQ of the site this week that: "It wasn't a commentary on anything, but the success might be due to the fact that there's this appreciation for her that has grown since she took over as Secretary of State."



A post credited to Clinton popped up on the blog Tuesday, and Smith and Lambe both confirmed on Twitter that the series of photos were really from her. "Seriously. It's from her," they tweeted on the blog's official account, and later provided "proof" of the meeting in another picture on the blog depicting Lambe, Smith and Clinton, all with phones in hand.

Lambe told Mashable on Tuesday that during their meeting, Clinton “mentioned being a fan of the Ryan Gosling post,” a photo mash-up that depicts the Secretary of State texting the actor.



Clinton signed her submission “Adam - Thanks for the many LOLZ. Hillary 'Hillz'”
