My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Get out and enjoy fall in Minnesota.

Minnesota showed the world what it’s like to be a good neighbor. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Ossoff: "Under the failed President Donald J. Trump, food, diesel, and healthcare all just hit their all-time highs…They made you pay more for everything, lied us into war, and spent most of the past year covering up for the world's most famous pedophile."

40% more kids are eating breakfast and 15% more are eating lunch since we launched free school meals in Minnesota. Now we’re making sure 100% of kids eat their broccoli.

Before I was a politician, I was a proud union member. I’m honored to stand with my union brothers and sisters on Labor Day and every day. In the Senate, I’ll fight to raise pay, lower costs, and empower Texas workers.

Good news: he lost.

And I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you....

Seems the Orange 🤡's renaming Lake Ontario is just as popular as his renaming The Gulf of Mexico, which is... NOT AT ALL. Instead of working on lowering prices, his focus on B.S. like the Ballroom, Helipad & putting his name on the Kennedy Center is the perfect Midterm strategy...for the DEMS!

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

The conservatives used to shut down the government over a few hundred million dollars. Seriously. Yet Trump blows billions and sues the govt for billions and gets a “free” jet from Qatar that the govt will spend a billion on then let him take it with him… and not a peep.

NO LIES 👇 DETECTED.......

A 30-pt swing in South Carolina in November makes me a Senator and retires Lindsey Graham. 🇺🇸

Thanks GlobalTV Canada! 🇨🇦

In an internal email, 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi said new editor in chief Bari Weiss had “spiked” the story and said the government was using silence to “VETO” stories.

I’ve never had to worry about my name or photo being redacted. How about you?

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

Ro Khanna: "There are 1,200 survivors. I've met dozens of them. There's not a single person who I met who I don't believe went through extraordinary abuse and trauma."

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

Thank you @kerrykennedy.bsky.social for inviting us to join the celebration of the ROBERT & ETHEL KENNEDY HUMAN RIGHTS CENTER. We fully support your fight for Justice, Equality, Peace, Dignity, Diversity & Compassion for ALL. (and we had a great time doing so!) 🙏 ♥️

Share and tell CBS to air this! Sharyn Alfonsi, the veteran “60 Minutes” correspondent who reported a segment about migrants sent to the El Salvadoran torture prison CECOT, just sent a blistering letter to colleagues, sounding the alarm that Bari Weiss spiked the story for political reasons.

Why did CBS delete this promo and cancel this from airing in full?

Bari Weiss is the logical endpoint of corporate media. This is what happens when people who hate journalism are in charge of it. The only way journalism works is when it’s independent from the power it’s supposed to hold to account, which means ownership can’t have anything to do with those in power

60 Minutes, dead at 57. The murder weapon was Bari Weiss.

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Pam Bondi just released a new batch of Epstein files.

The RFK, jr effect.

The Presidency was never intended to be a safe haven for criminals.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it.

Just watched Netflix documentary on "The New Yorker" and Dick Cavett asked Carol Burnett, "What do you do when you want to let your hair down, presuming that is your hair." She immediately ripped the wig off her head and said, "Well, I take it off." Comedy over vanity. What a killer, funny move.

Haaland: Affordability is real. We have a president downplaying the suffering that people are experiencing in our country. He is not listening. He’s in a bubble, and you can look at him and see that he’s never had to worry about missing a meal himself.

Just when I thought I couldn't admire the man more... 🎯 🎯 🎯 💯 💯 💯 👍 👍 👍

The endgame of authoritarian regimes is to no longer need popular approval. So don't be too sanguine about Trump's plummeting popularity.

Make Congress take action and unmask ICE!

This year's National Guard's birthday comes after a painful tragedy. The First Lady and I continue to pray for the families and loved ones of Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, who lost her life last month in an ambush attack, and for Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, as he recovers from his injuries.

Fact-check: true

hmmm

You either think fascism is by definition something that can't happen in America - or you recognize that it already is. ICYMI @saletan.bsky.social: lnk.thebulwark.com/44UVz0H

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Ahead of Veterans Day, I was honored to welcome a flight of veterans and their families as they arrived in DC.

Happy Veteran's Day to all who served. I've always looked back at my time in the Army as a positive experience and I know that my life would not be what it is today without it. To those who gave the ultimate sacrifice, I honor your memory and wish peace and solace to your family and friends.

"Let me be clear: The president has both the funding and the authority to fund SNAP during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.” Gov. Andy Beshear
