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.

Any politician who’s willing to throw away one group’s rights is willing to throw away everyone’s rights. It’s that simple. Every single consultant, pundit and candidate who’s shown a willingness to abandon trans rights needs to be shunned from the party forever

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

The main forces driving inflation are the Iran war, the AI boom and President Trump’s trade policies. If voters expect a new Democratic Congress to bring down prices, they will probably be disappointed.

washingtonpost.comVoters angry about high prices may get little relief from the next CongressEven if Democrats win control of Congress on Nov. 3, lawmakers can do little about prices that are uncomfortably high -- and will stay that way even as the rate of inflation is expected to slow.

like they couldn't possibly pull a decent photo from this press conference — editors run unflattering portraits of powerful women in order to take them down a notch, and they LOATHE Moriarty

You have GOT to be kidding me, @startribune.com. It’s a sickness. A compulsion. Did you really have no other portrait options from which to choose? It’s like you’re purposely TRYING to irritate me.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Voters in Missouri passed a constitutional amendment in 2024 protecting reproductive freedom, including the right to abortion. Now, Missouri voters are being asked to overturn their vote with Amendment 3, which would again ban abortion in the state. Vote NO to stop the ban.
