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.

“He’s not even an American.” “We have a problem in this country, it’s called Muslims.” “He doesn’t have a birth certificate.” “Perhaps it would be that where it says religion, it might have Muslim.” Sound familiar to what Trump and Republicans are saying about Abdul El-Sayed right now?

This is what putting South Carolina first looks like. I’m honored to have the support of two former governors — Republican David Beasley and Democrat Jim Hodges. We may not agree on everything, but we share a belief that matters most: S.C. deserves leaders who will always put its people first.

there are a ton of hilarious examples of this but none will ever top the participant in the NYT's recurring 2024 "focus group" who worked for one of the largest Republican political consulting firms in America.

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win

Fantastic news in our defense against Donald Trump's attacks on our Constitution and elections. Make no mistake: Trump won't stop trying to illegally seize power or deface our democracy. California will keep fighting back.
