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.

I'd buy really expensive ketchups for my Kraft Dinner. 🎶

🚨GOP NIGHTMARE: Democrats are surging in the battle for the Senate. NC Cooper +8.8 GA Ossoff +8.1 NH Pappas +5.9 MI El-Sayed +3.1 OH Brown +3.1 TX Talarico +3.0 MN Flanagan +2.2 AK Peltola +1.4 ME Jackson +1.0 IA Turek +0.5 But polls don’t vote — PEOPLE DO. No complacency. Turn out. Fight back. 👊

This scene created absolute dread and anxiety for me as a kid. I was too young to appreciate the anatomical details that the West Germans gave us on the statues. Although the existential dread was a nice change from the abject horror and depression of the Artax scene.

Trump's foreign policy is not isolationist. On the contrary, his ideologues want to build an international empire run by far-right political movements who serve American crypto, mineral and tech companies, many with links to the president. Read more here: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

If you liked your DOGE refund and your tariff rebate, you’ll love your Trump dividend.

Trump: "We're making a fortune. So if the Republicans win, you win with us and you get $5,000. It will be called the Trump Dividend. Congratulations."

Actor Jeff Daniels on Donald Trump's second term: "We've lost morality. We've lost decency. We've lost respect for the rule of law. We've normalized verbal abuse. We've normalized bullying. Morality and integrity have gone out the window. We're supposed to elect our best, not our worst."

Wab Kinew reacts to Donald Trump renaming Lake Ontario: "You know when a rock band is really over the hill and you see them in a casino playing some song from like 50 years ago? I think that's the part of Donald Trump's presidency we're at now."
