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.

Thanks, racist suckers.

The Trump administration told an appellate court that a president could do whatever he wants with records that include the nation’s most guarded secrets — and potentially even sell them on eBay. https://www.washingtonsun.com/legal/trump-records-ebay-doj

It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.

Melania Trump tried to bully me into silence because she didn’t like what I had to say about her. Shouldn’t our First Lady have more important things to worry about?

A consequential week in the courts and on Capitol Hill. The Supreme Court dealt Trump two notable losses. The House voted again to end the Iran war. And Speaker Johnson, unsurprisingly, adjourned Congress early to avoid some votes he clearly did not want to take. Start here to catch up on all of it.

Dolly Parton was special in so many ways. A lovely light and energy who shared ways to give and help through her words, her time, her kindness. She also gave through her financial resources, her generosity, her love, her humanity. She was one of a kind and unique.

Please don't overreact to Roberts Court decision on the contemplated USPS ballot moves They simply held that the injunction came too early in the process, before there was a final rule👇 Now we HAVE a final rule & we will litigate it. I'm as confident in our arguments here as in any of our cases!

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov: “Here’s what’s gonna happen tonight — the world’s most famous sore loser will deliver a primetime presidential sour grapes 🍇 address to pursue his 6yo grievances about the 2020 election while his war spirals out of control and the cost of living continues to rise.”

I’ve always liked @johnfugelsang.bsky.social ‘s framing of the complex American identity: We’re industrial pollution and the environmental movement America is MLK and the KKK. We are FDR and Trump. We are Duke Ellington and Kid Rock. -j. Fugelsang Worth a read👇🏼

Megyn Kelly goes full White supremacist today about Haitians: "You being here only dilutes it for us, those who built it and live it..We don’t want you! We don’t care if you’re offended. Get out! Go home! Go back to f*cking Haiti!" www.mediaite.com/media/news/g...

This MOU sounds more like an IOU. Trump hit his pinnacle of incompetence in a lifetime of awful deals. He bankrupted every business he ran & lost every battle of wits, willpower & ‘wait it out’ because he is both impulsive AND impatient-those are not traits that win sh*t. Loser.
