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.

In 2012, Robin Williams warned us about Trump’s ownership of pageants like Miss America and Miss Universe, comparing it to Michael Vick owning pet stores: “It’s a catch-and-release program.” We should have listened to Robin.

The ICC has outstanding arrest warrants against two national leaders for war crimes. One of whom the Trump administration just lauded as a "humanitarian" and the other one President Trump endorsed for reelection. And of course the Trump administration is trying to destroy the ICC.

Thank you to the reporter who mentioned that Qui Tam lawsuits already exist in federal law. Trump is too stupid to know that this already exists.

Q: You're offering 1% to whistleblowers for turning in what you're defining as fraud. The False Claims Act, which has been on the books since 1863, offers between 10 and 25%-- TRUMP: At 1% people will make millions and millions of dollars

Peter Navarro uses the White House as a prop while making a deranged sales pitch for his book: "Buy one for a friend, and I'm asking you to do this because it's the only way we're gonna put Fauci in prison. If we sell a million of them to change the thinking ... "

Trump on El-Sayed: "His name is actually Abduladadalalalala. It's Adulbabababababa Mohammed Al-Sayed. So his middle name is Mohammed. So I was right. He's a jihadist."

Kid Rock on Fox & Friends: "It appears that El-Sayed is assimilated ... and I would like to make the point that there have been other people who have assimilated to this country. The Fort Hood shooter. Those extremists that became pilots and crashed into our World Trade Center."

I just can't believe this can be happening. How is it that the police are not rounding up "AI" plagiarists, including the owners of the platforms selling the stolen material? These advanced plagiarism machines are wrecking the creative industries.
