For the second time in the last 24 hours, Trump suggests that he thinks he will be putting tariffs directly on fentanyl smuggled into the United States illegally.

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

The Times has to issue a correction here. An Executive order can’t “require” any such thing. Calling it ‘an aggressive push to catch” fraud is bad editorial judgment. The first part is demonstrably false. Those who have any voice to the Times need to demand this. Might as well say pigs fly.
President Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday that will require proof of U.S. citizenship on election forms. The move is in an aggressive push to catch and combat voter fraud, which is exceedingly rare but constantly cited by Trump as a reason he lost the 2020 election.
Trump Signs Executive Order Requiring Proof of Citizenship to Vote in Elections
Administration officials cited cracking down on immigrants illegally on voter rolls as one of the executive order’s main goals, amplifying Mr. Trump’s grievances about electoral integrity.

This is why I’m quadrupling down on my internet culture reporting alongside politics. Because even though the country is being toppled, we’ve lost the ability to even tell people that, and we can’t move forward until we get it back
1. What you see here is clearest illustration why things are so messed up and why it cannot get any better until this asymmetry is addressed.
Put simply: the right-wing has narrative dominance.
My org @mmfa.bsky.social did this study and has been sounding this alarm for years. Some thoughts...

Wasn’t the outrage over Hillary Clinton’s private email server at home the possibility that it *might* contain sensitive information?
But now South African Michael Scott can just install a commercial server at OPM to scoop it all up?

This is the message Dems reps need to be yelling: Trump fired 400 aviation safety officials. Three deadly plane crashed in 3 days. Trump is going to fire 6000 of 13,000 FBI agents on Friday. How many days until a terrorist attack?
Dems have 5 days to tell the world and stop the firings.

Don't worry. All our allies hate us now, but Vladimir Putin is giddy that Trump is in charge and he is already manipulating him into starting a clash with NATO so he can take over Europe.

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

My mother died on January 12th. I hadn’t posted about it publicly because it’s a very personal situation that requires time to process, and it also comes with tasks and duties.
