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.
Mark Carney on Elon Musk crippling Ukraine’s Starlink:
“I search for the right adjective to describe whoever took this decision… against a country that is literally fighting for the lives of its citizens against naked aggression."
I hate to get all dorky history dad, but we’ve invaded Canada more than any other country and they have been seen as a semi-hostile neighbor for longer than a close ally if you go historically before the 20th century.
Obama: "That well-known evil empire Canada. That historical adversary of ours. Canada! *laughs* It's your neighbor. It's a few minutes' drive over the bridge! These are the people who gave us Martin Short and maple syrup. They are the nicest people! And someone we've gotten them so mad."
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.
If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision.
More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?
I don’t understand why farmers need an endless series of welfare payments from the rest of us since Trump took office. Aren’t his policies working for you? You need us to pay you so you will keep voting for the guy who is failing you? Don’t you believe in free market capitalism?
Donald Trump set another record.
There’s NEVER been an election (since polling began in the United States) where voters said “corruption” was their top worry.
Until now.

I’ve been concerned about those two months for while
There’s something weirdly sinister approaching
I’ve read several scenarios of what Trump & the GOP will do
.
To be clear, evil billionaire scumbag Zuckerberg shutting down the official No Kings account in the middle of nationwide protests isn’t a mistake, it’s an assault on a free speech and expression, it’s pure fascism.
This is pathetic. Ukraine tested Starlink speed restrictions in Europe and had no issues - the restrictions only exist in Ukraine.
The Trump administration is actively helping Russia kill Ukrainians - and risking the lives of US and NATO advisors in Ukraine.
Just a reminder: Trump would rather do business with Russia at the expense of Ukrainian lives than increase fuel imports from Canada by 4% because he might have to eat a bit of crow.
💥 Lindsey Graham & Mitch McConnell both supported SANCTIONS on RUSSIA. Lindsey suddenly dropped dead the day he announced it. Mitch became a vegetable. Republicans demanded it, Trump signed it, then he killed it. #Patterns
When our “friend and ally” shows us that 1/3 of their country supports invading us, it’s time to find new friends and allies.
We apologize for ripping you off all these years selling you oil at a discount. And we’ve been vicious at dairy forcing you to sell us 3 times as much dairy as we sell you.
TELEGRAPH: Trump & Musk conspired to throttle Starlink and make Ukraine more vulnerable to Russian attacks — then Musk tried to blame only Trump.
Putin wins again, as usual.
Russia was never a hoax.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation.
I will not be silenced.
