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.

I love her. Q: We don’t get to see a lot of romances starring women in their 50s. COLMAN Why not? All of my friends still very much have sex lives. I don’t think you have to sew it closed once you get to a certain age. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/m...

These numbers are telling. CBS News projects Democrats at 229 House seats to Republicans’ 206. Look at what voters are saying: • 65% say the economy is bad. • 57% say Trump’s policies have hurt them financially. • DON’T MISS THIS: 83% say government corruption is a major factor in their vote.

Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

🚨BREAKING: In a blow to the DOJ, the 9th Circuit rejected its request to bypass a lower court to bar California from counting around 20k ballots from people it alleges are "likely" noncitizens. The ruling comes the night before the parties are scheduled to have a hearing before a lower court.

Of course they are. But a pardon can also negate the risk of self-incrimination. These same junior staffers might not be able to plead the Fifth when hauled in to testify. Link: t.co/8v1CyPEXFr

Clueless old fart.

Big Oil profits have skyrocketed since Trump launched his Iran War. Meanwhile, Trump himself owns up to $81 million in oil and gas stocks — which have increased in value by 43% since the end of 2025. When Trump says "we're making a freaking fortune," understand who he is really talking about.

Will anyone—anyone at all—ask Trump about the rape allegations published in an official report by the House Judiciary Democrats? Or will he continue to escape accountability for his violence?

4. He also doesn’t say whether reporting fraud committed by one of his own supporters would qualify for the reward. At least 16 defendants in voting-related cases were Trump supporters, self-identified Trump voters, or people who submitted unlawful ballots for Trump.

3. He also doesn’t identify who is administering the program and enforcing the promise. There’s no explanation of what happens if, for example, 10 people report the same crime and it results in an arrest and conviction. Does each person receive $1 million?

2. He doesn’t say where the money is coming from, how exactly he’s defining voter fraud, including which specific statutes qualify, or how people can submit reports that will be registered for the reward.

I still have to say it's mostly gone from theaters because very, very few people really want to pay good money to watch a HOUR-HOUR documentary on Elmo. No sure how many theaters it opened in, anyway. But that's just me. 😏
