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.

What will make this even more delicious is if Jared Kushner's felonious father-in-law is only finding out about this from reporting. Trump has just sicced DOJ on Corey Lawandosky, probably for not wetting Donald's beak with Corey's own shakedown schemes.

Trump is going after people who default on loans? That's rich, coming from a man who in 2008 failed to repay roughly $287 million in loans tied to his Chicago skyscraper project. He also sought forgiveness from countless other loans for millions of dollars because he couldn't afford to pay them.

The Trump admin is moving forward on plans to impose financial penalties on Americans in default on their federal student loans and hire private debt collectors to go after them. The plans are unlikely to be announced until after the midterms.

Washington has discovered a brilliant financial strategy. Cut benefits for people who need them, cut taxes for people who don't, and borrow the difference from people who aren't old enough to vote.

Three Facts: 1) Tommy wasn't a voter. He was a Christian Nationalist plant by Josh Hawley. 2) Tommy isn't worried religious law superseding our Constitution. He admitted he's trying to enact Christian Shariah above the Constitution.

Whether it is the East Wing of the White House, the Reflecting Pool on the Mall, the East Potomac golf course, or the Kennedy Center, the wildly incompetent Donald Trump can't turn his attention to *anything* without leaving behind debris and destruction.

Cool. You stopped using roads, too? That’s pretty retired.

“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?” Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.

Kroger just announced the largest layoffs in its history, with plans to cut 3,000 employees as it ramps up use of AI. Reminder that Kroger has spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019 and paid its CEO $14M last year — 417x its median worker's pay. AI is turbo-charging corporate greed.

As if things weren’t bad enough, Russian media is reporting that Kash Patel has arrived in Moscow. And a reminder he was paid by a Russian agent to participate in a documentary to spew disinformation and attack US agencies

The orange felon is currently posting videos of people getting mauled to death by animals. There is nothing remotely decent about this murderous sadistic piece of shit. Fuck you to everyone who supports this monster.

A tip cited in a 2020 FBI report says that Ghislaine Maxwell strapped a girl to a table and "tortured [her] with electrical shocks." She was believed to be around six to eight years old. Andrew and several other men allegedly watched at Frogmore Cottage. www.realitytea.com/2026/02/20/p...

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER PAXTON SCANDAL Paxton will fly all the way to Dubai to party w/fugitives wanted on federal fraud charges, but won’t show up on a debate stage to face James Talarico in front of Texas voters. One of those fugitives donated $190K to Paxton, including $25K AFTER being indicted.

Jeff.L reposted

Back in the day we used to wait around for Dem Party leaders and mainstream media to rapidly debunk things like the Talarico hoax and rage as they did nothing. Now we do it ourselves because they aren’t coming to save us. Just do a search to see the lack of stories from them on it.

Let me see if I understand this . . . 1. The U.S. is at war with Iran. 2. Russia is helping Iran in that war. 3. The U.S. is now giving Russia money that it can use to help Iran destroy U.S. bases and kill U.S. troops. Donald is smart & patriotic like that.

The first Russian diesel cargo heading for the US left St Petersburg on September 22, two weeks *before* Trump announced the deal with Putin, Windward reports. The Greek-flagged tanker Minerva Zen carrying 275,000 barrels of diesel/gasoil is due at the US East Coast around 11–12 October.

You should never have to wonder whether soldiers are watching you vote. This footage shows uniformed troops standing beside an official ballot drop box in Washington, D.C. Who sent them there? What were their orders?
