Oh no 😭 One of the last members of the USS Enterprise has left. RIP Walter Marvin Koenig (1936-2026) Star Trek, Babylon 5, Moontrap, The Starlost, The Questor Tapes, Futurama... What a career in sci-fi. I will miss Pavel Chekov. Again 😞

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

And like most moderate positions these days, it's insufficient. Expanding the court does little to address the real problem, which is that the supreme court has too much power. What we need are disempowering reforms. Those are ...

Pamphlets purporting to come from a transgender rights organization — mailed to families across Texas and igniting criticism from conservatives — came from a company formed last month in Wyoming. The Texas Transgender Student Union listed a Houston-area post office box as the address on the mailers.

Advocates for people with incarcerated family say prisons often cancel visits for what they deem is excessive contact with loved ones. “There are so many other experiences like that where just a simple hug or a peck is constituted as excessive contact.”

Exciting return to Dallas as a drunk passenger hassles me outside the airport (I did ask him to back off as him and his soon to be ex were spiraling out).

Recombobulation Area is the saddest part of the airport. The indignity of leaving Wisconsin plus the embarrassment of holding your pants up.

Trump just waived all sanctions on Russia in the Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia Act, just as I and others warned. Trump’s latest surrender to Putin again betrays our Ukrainian partners and defies clear congressional intent of legislation passed to punish Russia for its illegal war of aggression.

Trump order just issued from the White House: “I am hereby waiving the application of such sanctions, restrictions, and duties [on Russia] provided for in the Graham Act.” www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Chapter 14 of Animorphs #2 hits a lot harder than when I was a kid. Poor Melissa Chapman and the kids like her, maybe not Yerks but a dozen other things that steal the love from their parents.

Former Vice President Mike Pence, who served under Trump from 2017 to 2021, condemned Trump’s decision to lift sanctions on Russian fuel, calling it a lifeline for Putin’s war machine. “Putin doesn’t want peace. Putin wants Ukraine,” Pence said, urging Trump to rescind the deal. #Ukraine

Trump: "I didn't say, 'Oh, I'll give you the pardons if you turn Republicans.' I could've done that very easily. But I thought there would be a good chance that Cueller might say, 'Wow, he did something really wonderful.'"

Maybe the better way to get the message of "don't create written evidence of our corruption scheme" to land is to call your interlocutor instead of sending it by text.

Rockford city govt. is claiming they "had no prior notice of [ICE's] arrival or further communication or contact with ICE."

Dave Byrnes@djbyrnes1.bsky.social

Update: ICE was active in the Rockford area until at least ~12:45 p.m. today; observers recorded agents traveling in a caravan. Reports of least 3 detainments. Prominent rapid responders Mari Elena & Ismael Cordová-Clough estimated ~10 people taken. I haven't heard/seen other RR groups yet confirm.
