Honoring the Memory of Steven Sotloff, of Blessed Memory Today, we remember Steven Sotloff, a courageous Jewish journalist whose life was tragically taken by ISIS a decade ago. His bravery and dedication to truth continue to inspire us. The greatest tribute we can offer is to ensure that terrorist groups like ISIS, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and their ilk are eradicated. Our mission is clear: to make this world safer for all—except those who seek to destroy it through terror. Who stands with us in this fight?

They say don’t meet your heroes, but I met one of mine and he’s the real deal. Like many people in my generation LeVar Burton helped build something durable in us. A love for reading, a belief that we could be and do anything. Thanks for capturing this Erika Alexander 🥹🥰

Growing up, I got picked on for being Asian & rarely got to celebrate my heritage. Today, I passed historic legislation to make Lunar New Year a statewide school holiday so that children can be proud to be Asian & celebrate this important holiday w/ family & friends.

GINNY JAYNA AT 22ND KCL2026 #GinJayx22ndKCLAwards2026 🐒: Thank you. Today Ginny’s dress is a little bit long 555. First of all, I have to thank Kom Chad Luek for giving us the opportunity to have our names included. And I must thank all the fan clubs. Thank you to every single Alkey, whether you've been with us since day one or just joined us today. Along the way, during this year and a half since we became acting partners, our lives have been like a train that picks people up. The passengers might be all of you Alkeys. Along the way, some people have gotten on, and some people have gotten off. Thank you to those who are still on this train. Some have already left, but thank you to absolutely everyone who ever came to visit this train. And thank you for everything that brought us to stand right here. Thank you for every opportunity that came our way. Thank you to P'Tuk and P'Tik for choosing Jay to be an actress, and thank you for allowing me to be paired with P'Ginny. Thank you. 🦙: Yes, thank you to everyone who voted for us. Today, I chose a dress without thinking that I would have to walk up and down the stairs this much. 5555. Thank you so much. Thank you to everyone who has been with us throughout this past year and a half. This is the first step in the entertainment industry for me and Nong Jayna. I never thought we would come this far. Thank you for seeing something in the two of us. Thank you for loving our chemistry I also feel like Nong Jay is a very special person to me. Because if there were no Jayna, I probably wouldn't be standing here either. Thank you, Jay, for always exchanging acting cues with me and for going through so much together. Finally, we get to stand on this stage together. Tonight, I am so happy. Thank you so much to every single Alkey for finding us. And I'm so glad that I found all of you too. Thank you❤️

If you could send a message to Trump, tell him something, what would you say to him? “I would say thank you. Thank you for suffering. Putting up with everything that he has to put up with. Thank you for not giving up on us when so many people gave up on him.” Love this 🇺🇸🙏🏼👇🏼
