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 the hell? It's not quite #Halloween, but Susan Dell, Michael Dell's wife, the founder of #Dell Inc., must have taken too much white powder up her odd-looking nostrils.

Exclusive: The historical significance of floor globes used by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower during World War II was attractive to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, people said. While moving to his office, staff lost control of the artifact and dropped it.

This is sad. General Dwight D. Eisenhower’s historic World War II globe was broken when Pete Hegseth’s team dropped it while trying to move it into his office.

If Vivek Ramaswamy had even a shred of decency, he’d apologize for that vile attack ad, take it down, and admit he crossed the line. He won’t. Because cruelty isn’t a mistake for Vivek. It’s the strategy.

If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶

''I'd like to go ahead and solve it. The Atlanta Hawks.''

Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

That cocky, misplaced look of smug success on Senator Eric Schmitt’s face—moments before everything came crashing down around him because he’s so carelessly incompetent.

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

This is straight out of Handmaids Tale. A high school trying to force girls to disclose the dates and lengths of their menstrual cycle. Don’t comply? You lose a grade. There’s absolutely no reason a school needs this information other than to exert control over our bodies.

Seen a lot of these, but this one is my favourite 😎

Before losing her life in 1986 aboard Space Shuttle Challenger, Christa McAuliffe was set to be the first teacher in space with plans to teach a lesson to kids around the world from orbit. Today is her birthday, and even now, her courage and dedication to education continues to inspire.

Apparently £5million can’t buy you enough security to protect you from an imaginary threat.

Fauci accuses Rand Paul of having an "unhinged obsession with calling for my prosecution" and of making "repeated slanderous comments," then says "although it pains me to do so... under advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the 5th Amendment to refrain from answering your questions."

@adriansdigitalbasement.com guess whose house smells of RIFA smoke? I just cleaned inside my 'shop vac' ready for a job and I did spot a RIFA but thought 'well it isn't that old it should be alright'. I plugged it in and tested it OK, but then 10 minutes later out came the magic smoke...oops!

While Texans celebrated July 4, Senate candidate Ken Paxton was seen walking the streets of London with his alleged mistress. Just like Graham Platner, he should never become a U.S. senator.

What is Leon Black hiding? Because, if he isn’t hiding anything, why did he walk out of his Transcribed Interview in the Epstein investigation today? We will get answers. Nobody is above the law.

Please retweet.

NEW: Donald Trump gave Meta $8 BILLION by creating a new tax loophole for billionaire corporations. All while millions of Americans struggled to pay for food and health care.

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

Every single press colleague of Giles Richards who was present should have walked out of the press room on the spot. But what would have been a no-brainer 15 years ago no longer is. Prima donnas a la Verstappen rule.

Wow, is that the reason? I never wouldn’t have known that.

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease
