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.

🔥 OBAMA: “The thing is, Iran didn’t have nuclear weapons — because I put a deal in place he pulled out of… and the war he started is why the price of everything is UP… how much time do you think Hegseth spends looking at himself in the mirror? These are not serious people.”

Wow! Amy Acton’s new ad is shocking. She’s talking about the issues Ohioans are concerned about and not trashing her opponent. To be fair, she doesn’t need to. Vivek already trashed himself.

The director of FEMA is not allowed to do this legally. The director of OMB is not allowed to do this legally. The President of the United States is not allowed to do this legally. They're a gang of criminals, and should suffer the consequences.

FEMA tells states: We're incompetent, hopelessly politicized, unable and willing to fulfill our statutory responsibilities. The take care clause of the constitution no longer exists. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

Funny, I thought roses needed a lot of water.

🌱 #roseWednesday Still flowering beautifully in the Wisley Rose Garden is this gorgeous one called ‘Simply the Best’. We had training from Oliver who looks after the roses. He explained that the roses did well in the heat and drought although the perennials didn’t. More roses will be planted.

If you’re unclear Amanpour’s exit from CNN after 43 years has to do with the Ellison takeover and her coverage of Israel/Gaza you’re not paying attention. Fascism is taking hold in 🇺🇸, as the Trump-friendly pro-Israel oligarchs buy up the outlets.

WATCH: “A good hangin’ right here on the public square.”😕 Republican Rep. Paul Sherrell - who once apologized for calling for bringing back “lynchings” - now backs public executions and tells opponent Samantha Petit (D) he wants to bring back public hangings and firing squads.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com President Trump’s administration “is tacitly declaring the citizenship of all foreign-born people provisional, their Americanness something that can be revoked,” our columnist Michelle Goldberg writes. “It’s a frontal attack on the idea of constitutional equality.”

Zelenskyy: "Prices are rising because of the war in the Middle East, the blocking of Hormuz. Everyone understands it. If we want to speak with people fairly, if we want to be clear, if we want to speak with our nations openly, people have to hear reality. Don't play games with people."

1. CRISPR came from basic research on bacteria. 2. Optogenetics started with a discovery in algae. 3. The GFP protein comes from jellyfish. The biggest breakthroughs all trace to scientists following their curiosity, and this is one huge reason why we must keep funding basic research!

RFK Jr is funding a grotesquely unethical study on newborn babies in Guinea-Bissau; ethicists, pediatricians, clinical trial experts, & infectious disease experts are calling this horrific trial The New Tuskegee. It is unethical to withhold a life saving intervention from half of newborns FFS.

Stand Up for Science!@standupforscience.net

The CDC just re-opened a previously shelved study that would withhold the hepatitis B vaccine from children in Guinea-Bissau, despite decades of evidence showing it is safe and effective. This is a violation of human rights, using “science” to harm some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

Trump: "I can do whatever I want, if I want." He's telling you exactly how he sees his power. Now apply that to an election he's desperate to control.

Trump: "I could've done very bad things to Hillary Clinton. I could've done very very bad things to Joe Biden. I could've done very bad things to Barack Hussein Obama ... I can do whatever I want, if I want."
