I'll be writing more about this later, but the fact that there are no ICE (or other armed) federal agents at the polls and no federal takeover of elections is not because we are "lucky" or our system is "strong:" it took a ton of hard work from lawyers, election administrators and civil society.

Patrick Stewart story that I've told before: He did a few performances with The Improvised Shakespeare Company, one in New York (for about 15 minutes of the show) and one full show in Chicago. It was the upstairs at iO in Wrigleyville - maybe 100 seats. Nobody knew he would be there.

Just as a reminder: enough people will share that video clip of the degenerate saying degenerate things. There’s no obligation for YOU to share it again to add commentary. It’s out there, everyone saw it, lets vote and get them exiled from polite society.

One of the biggest mysteries of the Wow! Signal is its exact location, with two possible positions in the sky. Our #AreciboWow team has solved this mystery using three independent methods. We’ll present our findings in 2027. We know! 😉

In Serbia, MAGA influencers from the US were dispatched to Serbia to whip up enthusiasm for the hard-right Alexsandar Vucic who had held power for 12 years. They failed too and the students' movement won.

Last year, Anna Paulina Luna was a huge proponent of banning members of Congress and their family members from buying or trading public stock. Guess whose family members have a stake in a private drone company that has received more than $30 million in government contracts over the past year?

Anna Paulina Luna’s husband owns 10 percent of drone startup that got $37 million in Pentagon deals

“Americans deserve a Congress that works for them, not for special interests or personal portfolios,” the Florida Republican said in 2025. Then the federal contracts started rolling in.

Q: The typical practice is DOJ doesn't usually release charges this close to an election. Even though Ms Lucas isn't on the ballot, her daughter is. Can you speak to the timing? BLANCHE: The 60 day or 90 day practice is not in writing. That's not part of the justice manual. There's nothing improper
