Alaska authorities strongly oppose the Trump DOJ’s attempted “interference” in the election. This is significant because there were concerns the state—which sought to DQ the second Sullivan—would take the same side. But it didn’t. Quite the contrary. buff.ly/EJHtDpX

Apartheid Israel's genocidal crimes against Palestinians are documented, evidenced, relentless. All enabled by the so-called international community, including Ireland. We have legal obligations under international law to act to prevent egregious human rights abuses. #SanctionsNow

It is painful to witness the images coming from the West Bank. The Israeli destructive machine stops at nothing: it uproots entire olive groves, erases years of labor, and devastates what for Palestinians represents life, history, and identity. The Zionist entity be forever dammed 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

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.

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.
