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.

“Palantir cofounder and CEO Alex Karp states ‘AI will undermine the influence of highly educated, often female voters and give it to working class men. We have feminine energy running our cities and our courts,’ he complained.”

In all likelihood, this is the way all "republicans" have "won" elections in the past.

Armed and in uniform, federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security have been knocking on doors in several states to ask residents about their immigration status — and to inquire if they have registered to vote or cast votes in past elections, a CBS News Investigation has found.

From two-time Paralympic gold medalist to fighting for Iowa families in the Senate. Barack Obama backs Josh Turek—a leader who knows what it means to overcome adversity, fight corruption, and lower the costs of healthcare, housing, and groceries. Let's send him to Washington!

Trump uses our treasury as his own slush fund. Without FEMA oversight he will act like a mob boss extorting from governors as they try to save and rebuild their constituents’ lives.

Canadian here. We sold our winter home is Palm Springs in 2025 and haven’t set foot in the US since. We used to spend upwards of $75k annually in the US on travel, food, clothing, entertainment & taxes. Instead we’ve spent it in Mexico, Curaçao, Japan, France, Sweden, and UK. And Canada of course.

Hey MAGAts, quick question, which American politician accepted a luxury jumbo jet as a bribe from the Muslim Brotherhood-controlled country of Qatar? Hint: it wasn't Abdul El-Sayed
