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

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

$9.37 for heating fuel in Kotzebue, a hub in the Northwest Arctic. We heat our homes with diesel in most of Alaska, and families here are bracing for a winter where they’ll have to decide between heat and food. It’s apocalyptic – and Dan Sullivan's votes are to blame.

Diplomacy for private profit: More corruption in plain view. The Kushner/Witkoff talks with Russia nominally about ending the war in Ukraine are actually about a multibillion-dollar oil deal that would benefit Middle Eastern business executives linked to Kushner and Witkoff. The deal, which is

Every one of these people view their positions in the government as an opportunity to cash in on multiple grifts while traveling the world and having a great time at our expense.

Lucille Ball is the Godmother of #StarTrek. As head of Desilu Studios, she overrode her own board of directors to finance the show & convinced network executives to greenlight a second pilot after the first one failed. That second pilot, "Where No Man Has Gone Before," first aired #OTD in 1966. 🖖
