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.

There is no end to the corruption.

Imagine being a CEO of an US energy company and thinking that you work with close associates of the Trump family, only to find out that behind them is a sanctioned Russian company, really pulling the strings.

“Several conservative organizations …— including the Heritage Foundation and American Moment — have pressed White House counsel to either prepare pardons or put in place funding for the legal fees necessary to defend junior staffers from criminal and congressional probes or potential lawsuits.”

scott galloway and jessica tarlov held an event here in town yesterday where “don’t impeach or waste time on investigations because ‘28” was the consensus position of the panel. so yeah, this is something to anticipate.

If Democrats actually win big because people want a check on Trump corruption I expect every move to do so will be covered in the corporate media as being risky to their 2028 position.

Ukraine’s frontline drones still lost their satellite link above 161 km/h on 23 October, Kyiv said. That came after US President Donald Trump said Musk had “put it back.”

Nobody from a Western country should be traveling to or visiting Russia. Putin is always looking for fresh hostages to use in negotiations.

As the initial fever dream of the Trump Regime's reign of nihilism begins to wear of, his stooges are belatedly realizing their gross misconduct, and worse, may actually bear consequences They are preemptively lashing out at the prospect of being held to account, as @gregsargent.bsky.social explains

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

Just disgusting: Sen Elissa Slotkin made routine comments about the need for a Dem Congress to impose real accountability on the Trump administration, especially mid-tier enablers, and MAGA ginned up a two-minute hate over it. But she's 100% correct. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2168...

newrepublic.comTrump’s Vile Tirade About Sen. Elissa Slotkin Exposes Sleazy MAGA ScamThe Michigan senator said nothing remotely alarming, but MAGA-world ginned it into a “controversy.” Democrats need to learn how to stand up to this nonsense.

The United States is actively helping Putin murder civilians in Ukraine. Trump is doing everything he can to force Ukraine to surrender to his friend and ally Putin so they can be subjugated by the Russians again.

In early 2025, I assumed the Trump regime would delete the Department of Justice’s press releases and other statements related to more than 1,000 Jan. 6 cases. So I downloaded them. We’ve now made them available to the public with a search tool. They can’t erase history. jan6memoryproject.org

Rubio was confirmed 99-0 out of "professional courtesy for his position as a former senator". I knew we were in big trouble when every Democrat voted for him bc deference. Decorum. Tradition.

Prem Thakker ツ@premthakker.bsky.social

Inside Rubio's State Department —He's "basically…moved into the White House" —He's very close w/ Stephen Miller. Ultimately this has Rubio doing whatever Miller tells him to (Miller has joked privately on how he's subjugated Rubio) —Internal dissent channels are defunct; staff too scared to use them

zeteo.com‘Secretary of Cuck’: How Marco Rubio Learned to Love Waging Trump’s War on the WorldRubio was once a supposedly reasonable Republican, even the GOP’s ‘savior.’ Now he’s Donald Trump’s ‘Narco Rubio’ and overseeing a level of violence his staffers are terrified to question internally.

Katie Zacharia sat on the advisory board of an organization that calls for women who have abortions to be executed “in the public square,” and for pro-choice Americans to lose their right to hold public office.

Trump: "They want to cut your children. It's unbelievable what they do. Your son leaves as Jimmy and comes home in three days as Janet, and they don't even ask you. They can take your child out of school and do whatever the hell they want. Minnesota is one of those states."

Florida's proposed science standards downplay evolution and climate change, making it easier for schools to skip or minimize them. Education Commissioner Henry Mack says the goal is avoiding "ideology." Students deserve so much better than this. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/floridas-n...

The theory that makes the most sense to me is that it was a jointly fired warning shot (that likely got people killed) that neither of them now want to own because of: a) the optics b) what it tells other potential Starlink customers

None of this is legal. This isn't equivalent to not being able to happen. This isn't the same Republican party that pressured Nixon into resigning. Even the 1970s Republican wasn't that: it took very long hearings & Barry Goldwater before they'd do anything other than slavishly support Nixon.

Musk says he didn’t cut services to thwart Ukrainian self-defense, the US govt did. A senior US official says the Trump White House had nothing to do with that, implying Musk did it. A problem is they’re both serial liars, Putin sympathizers, and anti-democracy, so who knows.
