Trump’s Mass Deportations Are Making Us More Vulnerable to Domestic Terrorism Law enforcement can only do so much at one.

When you use up scarce law enforcement resources going after cooks and farmworkers, and put a bunch of unqualified lackeys in key leadership posts, can you possibly think you're making America safer? ICYMI Will Selber: www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-mass...

I wish them both the worst.

My fraternity, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, has a creed you have to memorize and try to live up to called “The True Gentleman.” Curious if you think our current president is a “true gentleman”?

If you’ve ever taken the oath to uphold the Constitution, this is the time to live up to it.

The Trump-Tariff Advice: Eat Less The policy’s real message is “Tax my voters; enrich my donors.”

“Trump is a flimflam man who will promise anything to anybody and count on the suckers forgetting tomorrow what he said yesterday,” @davidfrum.bsky.social writes. “His Cabinet officers, however, are gradually revealing the true cost of the Eat Less scam”:

I Worry, but I Fight From Marc | Despite that worry, I cannot stop standing up for what is right. I cannot turn a blind eye to injustice.

NEW: @marcelias.bsky.social is often asked if he's worried.

“Of course I am worried,” he responds. “The president of the United States considers me an enemy and has promised retribution. I would be an idiot not to be worried. But I am not going to give in. I will continue to fight.”

Federal Elections Commission Chair Says Trump Tried to Illegally Fire Her Read more here.

Ellen Weintraub, the chair of the Federal Elections Commission, said in a social media post that President Donald Trump sent her a letter attempting to illegally remove her from her job.

The thing that still really offends me about Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl Halftime Show is that Elon Musk has taken over our government—and Republican voters care more about the former than the latter.

I can’t believe the Supreme Court said the president was above the law and now the president is acting like he’s above the law.

The GOP Says They Love Elon. Privately, They’re Expressing Concerns. Republican members are sending letters to constituents promising oversight and limits on DOGE.

The constituent letters, a dozen of which were shared with The Bulwark by recipients, suggest that Musk is causing nascent discomfort and increasing political anxiety among Republican lawmakers. ICYMI @samsteindc.bsky.social and @cheetah.bsky.social:

Quentin Tarantino in ‘No Hurry’ to Direct Final Movie; Pledges to Wait Until His Son Can Have Lifelong Memories on Set Quentin Tarantino says he won't make another movie until his kids are old enough to make lifelong memories on his set.

TikTok was never going anywhere. The TikTok creator gave millions to Trump and they orchestrated this whole PR stunt just so Trump will be seen as a 'hero' to young people.
