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.

“Brexiters continue to say we were right to leave the EU. But only if they include the dead, exclude the young and ignore buyers’ remorse can they still say they have democracy on their side.” So, Brexit fails on every single metric. Let’s bin it off for good. kellnerp.substack.com/p/britains-p...

Norway’s former Chief of Defence, General Sverre Diesen: “Under the current Trump administration, we cannot consider the United States our ally. Trump’s America is a hostile actor that, in the event of a conflict in Europe, would side with Russia rather than with us and other European countries.”

So on the same day that Trump sanctions the ICC, which has an arrest warrant for Putin for war crimes against Ukraine Trump does a deal with Putin that will allow him to commit more war crimes against Ukraine Trump is clearly a Russian asset, a traitor to his own country, and a danger to the world

Nothing to see here...just the President of the United States inviting the country he illegally declared war on to "take out" 2 major American cities. If that's not treason, what is? 🤬 Law enforcement won't hold him accountable, but we WILL! The beginning of the end is on November 3rd. #VOTE-BLUE 🌊
