Walter was more than Chekov. He was a writer, a teacher, a thoughtful man, and a loyal friend. To the fans who loved him for so many years, thank you. He loved you too. Rest well, my dear friend. Keep navigating a steady course. – George

Just last month, on Sept. 14, he turned 90, on the same day Brad and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary. I will always treasure that he and I shared that date.

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: If there were 2 Democratic Dan Sullivans on the ballot and they were potentially canceling each other out, would you be filing the same lawsuit? BLANCHE: Absolutely! Of course

BASH: Do you see your job as helping Republicans keep this seat? AG TODD BLANCHE: *a lot of words that aren't a denial*

"how dare you talk about that thing Trump tried to do and everyone in the current administration helped and participated in!"

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

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

the most moderate, apolitical and non-controversial opinion in Elon Musk is that everything he sells is too good to be true, and will either fall apart and be expensive to fix, or will be clawed back and resold to you for more money

All the domestic news is bad for Rs, so what if we important some foreign news and pretend that's what really matters.

New in PN: @mattgertz.bsky.social on how Fox News is whipping viewers into a pre-midterm hysteria "These sorts of pseudo scandals germinate on the right, but if they can turn those stories into a major fixation for the mainstream press as well, then they do a lot more damage."

3 out of 300 polled for a Michigan statewide race would be a poll of 100,000 people.

Mike Johnson: "When I'm in these big arenas, I ask for hands -- 'Show me your hand if you've answered a poll in the last six months.' There will be like three hands among 300 people. I'm telling you, these polls are off. All of them."

99% of GOP talking points can be knocked down if reporters do third grade level research and pushback. It rarely happens, which is why it's so jarring when you actually see it 🙃

wow -- a squirming Mike Rogers gets flustered as Kristen Welker points out that while he attacks El-Sayed over the Muslim Brotherhood, *Rogers himself* defended the Muslim Brotherhood during the same period of time that El-Sayed did!

She became a Republican because her bosses didn't like her ideas (spending money in races Democrats wouldn't win)

The important thing to remember about this person is that she's selling a book where she talks about Democrats being out of touch

WELKER: If you were elected, would you vote to repeal some of President Trump's tariffs? MIKE ROGERS: The best way to do this is to talk in and say, 'Can we work this out?' I'm not even in office yet. (That's a no!)

The interesting part is when Trump claims Paxton helped him find millions and millions of votes to throw out.

Trump: "Look, if we had smart presidents, the Taiwan problem with China wouldn't exist. Nobody would care. They stole our chip business. All of it. 100 percent."

asked if Trump directed him to sue Alaska, Blanche says "I will not talk about communications I have with the president" (So, yes, Trump did)

The unfathomable corruption

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Blanche on CBS says his suit against Alaska is "asking the court to step in where the Alaska Supreme Court didn't, which is to look at federal law and if necessary to allow a process for Alaska to decide who should be certified as the winner." (So, the voters won't get to decide. Got it.)

Yeah the point is not Cheesecake Factory is ugly or bad, it is a Cheesecake Factory owned by Saddam would be ugly and bad, because it would be owned by a shitty psychotic dictator with bad taste! Sort of like trump is!

Yeah, that's kind of an important part of the joke to leave out, but we're talking about someone who decided she really liked Trump in the fall of 2024 so

"[to most Americans] The Cheesecake Factory is a very nice and fancy restaurant" is an incredible sentence to say without irony

i feel like this evan barker person does not understand the joke obama is making, which rests on being familiar with the cheesecake factory and understanding that it is nice but not opulent.

Telling the people of Alaska "We think you are too dumb to know what you are doing" is surely a great way to make them like your candidate.

Replying to @jamellebouie.net

It's even dumber since ranked choice voting, which Trump says is a scam even though it led to him winning in Alaska 3 times, eliminates any confusion over Dan Sullivans since you can just rank the other one second. This rhetoric is not supposed to make sense. It's supposed to create confusion.

BASH: What's the crime? AG TODD BLANCHE: What's the crime? Well it depends. There *could* be a crime. But the real wrong here is that Alaskans are gonna be confused. BASH: The Alaskan Supreme Court ruled 4 months ago on this matter

this is total gobbledygook? the process to decide who should be certified as the winner is the election, and there is no federal law that says the courts get to decide who that is.

not to mention the GQP did the same thing in a southern state by placing a candidate up against a D candidate in an election. I guess they are 'do as we say and not as we do~'

Here’s the relevant language in the DOJ lawsuit. It asks for the election not to be certified if Peltola’s margin of victory is smaller than the number of votes cast for the third-party Sullivan. (I expect this to be laughed out of court.) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?
