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.

Amy Acton’s estranged mother knew her husband had a daughter from a previous marriage who’d also accused him of rape. But when 12-year-old Amy told her mom that he was raping her, instead of concluding she was married to a pedophile rapist she concluded both girls were lying.

Vivek Ramaswamy’s attack ad targeting Amy Acton’s childhood trauma crosses every line of human decency. The ad circulated without disclosing who was behind it. His campaign initially dodged responsibility, then Vivek admitted it was his and plans to spend $4 million to promote it.

Vance just held an outrageous presser in which he defended Vivek's vile attacks on Acton, agreed w/ Witkoff's assessment of Putin as a "humanitarian," and had gall to claim "there's no person who hates people enriching themselves fraudulently over access to the govt than Donald J Trump" Supercut:

When asked about Vivek’s ad against Amy Acton, Vance says he is “disgusted.” Not disgusted by the ad, but disgusted by Republicans who objected to the ad. bsky.app/profile/atru...

WOW -- Vance *defends* Vivek's reprehensible ad 👇 Q: Ramaswamy's campaign put out a controversial ad featuring his opponent's mother. Some Republicans are backing away. Do you think it was appropriate? JD VANCE: Well, I'll be honest. Whether the ad was appropriate or not is not really my concern.

TRUMP: We gave nothing in exchange for Stephen. We never give anything in exchange for hostages. TRUMP LITERALLY MOMENTS LATER: If I implemented sanctions on Russia, Steven wouldn't be coming out right now.

Just saw an exchange every politician should note. Someone said their dad was considering Ashley Moody because of negative ads about Angie Nixon. Angie showed up in the replies, addressed his concerns & made it personal. People want to feel heard, not talked at & Angie’s response is perfection 🔥

Three weeks before Election Day, Trump’s DOJ is trying to stop California from counting ballots based on unproven claims about noncitizen voters. Is the real goal to win in court—or to lay the groundwork for claiming another stolen election? My analysis: joycevance.substack.com/p/doj-v-cali...

This design appears to completely eliminate the much-beloved loop road and public park at Hains Point, and cut down the cherry trees which line the road. The park is a public space used by tens of thousands of Washingtonians and heavily visited by tourists. /photos not my own.

The map posted by Trump this morning versus the blurred image on his desk in Katie Zacharia's post. (The White House responded to questions about whether the blurred image was a map of East Potomac by spewing invective.)

Trump doesn’t care about the general public. His only concern is walling off public lands into private enclaves and business opportunities for himself and wealthy cronies.

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.

Russia is now exempt from the Lindsey O. Graham Russia Sanctions Act. The US government is clearly allied with Putin against Ukraine. Vote Republican enablers out.
