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.

BASH: The worry is that we end up in a situation where President Trump tries to overturn the election and the result of that could be like what we saw after January 6-- BLANCHE: Stop it! You gotta stop it with that! That's crazy BASH: This is a president who has a history

Trying to ease back into planetary, even though my scope is not the ideal size. Oddly, I was happiest with Saturn from last night, though it was too low in the sky. Mars was my target, but Mars is smaller and harder to capture. I'll continue to work on Mars. #Astronomy #Astrophotography

🔥 OBAMA: “The thing is, Iran didn’t have nuclear weapons — because I put a deal in place he pulled out of… and the war he started is why the price of everything is UP… how much time do you think Hegseth spends looking at himself in the mirror? These are not serious people.”

Articles like this are so dangerous . Polling is so inaccurate and things like this undermine the sense of urgency that is required

Bill Clinton: “I’m tired of the way we treat our allies like dirt. And just last week, President Trump finally did what he threatened to do when he first ran, which is to abandon Ukraine and embrace Vladimir Putin all over again.” I hope the American people are also tired of it

CNN’s Harry Enten: “By my count, the Texas Senate polls are the same as ever. Talarico +3 in the avg every month since the end of July. He's the 1st Dem TX Sen nominee to be up in the polls this late since 1988. Very different from O'Rourke in 2018 who was down 8 at this pt. Still a close race tho.”

Remember when Democrats freaked out when Scott Brown won the Senate seat Ted Kennedy held? Imagine that tenfold if Democrats won Texas. Texas has been the crown jewel of the conservative project ever since John Tower's victory. (Though the center of MAGA is arguably Florida and not Texas).

seeing Elon go on a multi-day crashout about Talarico has really highlighted how psychologically devastating it would be to Republicans if they lost Texas. So much of their self-identity is tied to repping Texas as the anti-California and would be shattered if the state even tipped blue.

Today marks 2 years since I started HRT. 2 years since Ken Paxton and the rest of the Texas GOP lost the control they had over my life and I was finally allowed to be myself. I’m proud to say that I voted against my attempted killer today. Fuck you, Ken.

I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done. This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands. He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.

Trump: "They want to cut your children. It's unbelievable what they do. Your son leaves as Jimmy and comes home in three days as Janet, and they don't even ask you. They can take your child out of school and do whatever the hell they want. Minnesota is one of those states."

Tell me it’s. Psycho cult without telling me. This is one brave woman. These men are bullies and cowards. MAGA is a sickness and so is Christian fundamentalism. Our nation is a complete embarrassment.

Last night, Starlink was reportedly restricted in Ukraine due to a political decision made in Washington. Europeans should be aware that it is dangerous to depend on a partly hostile government for your security, as they could blackmail you at any time. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

In 1987 Trump visited Moscow. Since then, "He has changed his mind about abortion and crypto, he has supported different political parties, but his dislike of America’s democratic allies and his preference for Russia have remained remarkably consistent." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

More than 400 trees were cut down in D.C.'s East Potomac Park this weekend. A furious federal judge said the government failed to give proper notice of the work amid an ongoing lawsuit.
