Several incompetent and corrupt MAGA members of the Trump cabinet, including Hegseth, RFK Jr., and Linda McMahon, could resign to avoid impeachment should the Democrats retake the House and Senate, a move that would mark a critical turning point for Trump and his fasciste regime. #ProudBlue #DV1

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

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.

The IDU is an international syndicate for far-right authoritarians, and Canada’s Conservative Party is actively aligned with it. Keeping membership in this organization is a direct betrayal of democratic values. An editorial by @taylornoakes.com.

Alaska already has a process to decide who should be certified as the winner. But Trump wants to change it, because polls must be telling him the MAGA candidate will lose

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.)

Putin brought up the deal when he met with Witkoff and Kushner at the Kremlin on Sept. 5. Putin proposed it get done as a way of showing Russians that they can do business with the United States. The Americans responded that they'd work on it, seeing it as a way to build good will with the Kremlin.

In the Budget HMRC will be granted powers to seize money directly from the bank accounts of people who fail to pay their taxes. Does this include people like Nadhim Zahawi, Lord Bamford and all the other massive tax avoiders. Or is it just for the little people as usual?
