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.

lol, ok

Is this 👇 the "good" stuff he's talking about? 🤬

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

"I don't take responsibility at all," he said March 13, 2020.

tommy did not get paid $250k to disrupt el-sayed's event. tommy's dad TIMMY's LLC was paid that amount. whether timmy gave tommy a cut is unknown at this point.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Indeed, who could have known ahead of time that accepting the invite to the Trump White House for a photo-op by a Daily Signal writer who's a senior advisor to the president of Heritage Foundation, 2 wks before midterms when Catholic support is cratering would seem 'political'?

I don’t get it. If the tariffs are great for America and are bringing back manufacturing and are one of Trump’s signature policies, why won’t the Republicans who refused to overturn them even mention them?

The time to determine whether Dan J. Sullivan Jr. could appear on the Alaska ballot for U.S. Senate was months ago, and Alaska courts did so. What's additionally batshit about this is that the candidates' names are printed on the ballot in a way which makes abundantly clear who's who.

BASH: The worry is that we end up in a situation where President Trump tries to overturn the election and the result of that could be like what we saw after January 6-- BLANCHE: Stop it! You gotta stop it with that! That's crazy BASH: This is a president who has a history

Trump's plan to reinstall Bolsonaro (junior edition), with support from Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, has failed

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

❗️Zelensky says Starlink and Starshield speed restrictions are still in place and interceptor deliveries needed against Russian ballistic missiles remain delayed. “This is a real problem, because the Russians attack us almost every day,” he said. #Ukraine

good lord

So, Trump just lied to a judge about cancelling a "deportation flight" to Equatorial Guinea & I only have one question: WHY ISN'T THAT SUMBITCH IN GHATDAMN JAIL!? prospect.org/2026/10/23/t...

Hard Day's Night, first run, 1964, Pittsburgh. With my mom. I was 3. I remember it all. Lennon sniffing a Coke was a highlight I did not understand until much later. #Beatles4Ever

@juddlegum.bsky.social's Quote of the Week: “There is no person who hates the idea of people enriching themselves fraudulently over access to the government than Donald J Trump.” – Veep JD Vance. What's YOUR cut, Jaydee? popular.info/p/popinfo-we...

Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

Today, millions of Americans hit the streets for the BIGGEST early vote activation in US history! Next, we're going to make sure every vote is counted, the election results are certified, and the winners are seated in January. Join our mass call to learn more: bit.ly/whatsnext1021.

Amy Acton's brother cuts an ad. "When she was 11 and 12 years old, and to think that that’s somehow a talking point. Shame on Vivek." www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_9G...

Vance says he's "disgusted" with the Ohio race. To be clear, he's not "disgusted" Ramaswamy is siding with a woman who let her husband rape her 12-year-old daughter and pushing a lie so bad even National Review called him out. No, no. He's "disgusted" that some Republicans objected to the ad.

Chris Quinn, top editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, calls the Ramaswamy ad “the worst of the worst… Easily the most vile political ad we’ve ever seen, lowest, basest, most cruel move we’ve ever seen…“ www.cleveland.com/news/2026/10...

Witkoff called Putin a humanitarian today. Here is some of his humanitarian work:

"Almost none of his net worth is held in cash. Nearly all of it is **unrealized equity** in companies he still runs, and he draws no salary. His wealth is not money he extracted and stored. It is the market’s estimate of promises he hasn’t yet kept." fortune.com/2026/06/23/e...

Trump fails to recognize the open door to the Presidential limousine and instead wanders off into an open field before Secret Service intercepts the disoriented senior citizen and leads him back to the Beast.

This metaphor is ridiculously obvious and unsubtle. Fire the writers. They're hacks.

GM just announced the biggest stock buyback in automotive industry history. Instead of investing in their workers or new product lines, GM executives are robbing from the future to pay themselves and their shareholders today. Stock buybacks should be illegal.

A spokesperson for @freedom.press said its own unscientific poll "shows that 98 percent of the words that come out of Brendan Carr's mouth are unconstitutional bullshit." The organization did not release any information about its survey methodology.

Happy Indigenous Persons Day, everyone! The Scaramucci Unit has been replaced by the Zacharia Moment. 😎

Trump's approval rating falls to 36% in @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy poll, an all-time low in that survey over both terms. Disapproval of the job he is doing has reached 77% on inflation, 70% on the economy, 69% on tariffs and 64% on foreign policy. www.foxnews.com/politics/fox...

Stop what you are doing because you need to read this. Billions of dollars in oil trades were perfectly timed to Trump’s decision to back off attacking Iranian power plants. Trump announced the reversal just 15 minutes after those trades were placed.

Inflation ran at a rate of 3.7% last month. And that was despite the Fed raising interest rates. It’s been at least 3.4% every month since Trump attacked Iran. To put that in perspective: In the supposedly horrific year of 2024, monthly inflation averaged 2.9% and was trending down rather than up.

⚡️ President Zelenskyy had an audience with King Charles III, thanking him for the UK’s continued and firm support.

⚡️ BREAKING: Massive applause erupts outside 10 Downing Street as President Zelenskyy arrives and is greeted by UK PM Andy Burnham.

So Musk is saying it was the Trump Admin who did it and the Trump Admin is saying it was Musk who did it.

Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night. In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission. Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.

JD Vance running around the country saying he’s fighting health care fraud while his nominee for the senate in TX who he completely supports is partying in Dubai with a guy whole stole over $300 million in health care fraud and gave Paxton $190,000. This is the Republican Party.

and now she (or an ally) is leaking to prove she was right! OUCH

Was just on Threads and this was my "For you" algorithm when I posted a comment debunking the story. Say what you will about BlueSky being a bubble, but its not designed to enrage and deceive its users

James Talarico: I've heard credible reports that Ken Paxton has a serious medical condition that causes clinical levels of cowardice. That's why I haven't heard from him after 85 days when I first challenged him to a debate publicly. We're awaiting his answer.

This search was conducted by the Homeland Security Department, where lying and harassment are routine.

Fox, probably being fed info from the regime, says the feds' search of Rep. Ilhan Omar's home "stems from a criminal fraud investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman's immigration paperwork, which was filled out by her late father when she was a child." In other words, it's fascist bullshit.

"Why Was Ilhan Omar’s Home Raided Over ‘Illegal Immigration’ Claims, and Not Elon Musk’s? You Know the Answer"

"The Cuban government is pushing ahead with its plans to transition to renewable energy, amid a de facto oil blockade from the United States that has strangled the island’s economy."

How can the Trump administration fine BofA for violating sanctions laws when the same administration is violating a sanctions law with the Russia diesel deal? What don't I get here? www.cnn.com/2026/10/13/i...
