"The fact that [Pete Hegseth] has this ability, as a former television reporter, to kind of deliver the message to the president in a way the president not only understands, but that resonates with him, that has kept him in his job," said Vivian Salama.

"No soldier, no Marine, no airman, no sailor wants to be seen as a political arm. They took their oath. They take their job seriously, and there is, at least among the people I talked to, a great fear and reluctance to take that step," said Nick Schifrin.
"I'm going to confess something on your show, Jeff. I have no sources in this administration," said @thomaslfriedman.bsky.social. "Having sources in this administration other than the president would be dangerous because ... Trump can go absolute 180 degrees the opposite the next day."
"I think, you know, there were Arab diplomats flooding Washington ... saying it's going to be different this time," said Felicia Schwartz. "Trump has been able to do things that everyone told him he couldn't do, and I think some of it was confirmation bias."
In a special conversation with The New York Times foreign affairs columnist Thomas Friedman on Washington Week with The Atlantic, Friedman confessed to moderator Jeffrey Goldberg that he has "no sources" in the Trump administration.
Stephen Hayes: "It has been widely reported that Donald Trump was down on [Tulsi Gabbard], and there's nothing you can do if you are in Trump’s orbit that will get you back in his good graces sooner and faster than going and supporting his crazy arguments about the 2020 election having been stolen."
Would President Trump try to take Greenland in some way? "I think he's going to get something that he can call taking Greenland. He'll get bases," said David Ignatius. "I think Europe has really now dropped any willingness to accommodate Trump's bullying on Greenland."
"When we're talking about DEI, we're talking about [Pete Hegseth's] anti-woke war. I just would like to put some of this into a little bit of perspective," said Helene Cooper. "If you looked at the people who were in the leadership roles of the military. All of them were white men."
Where did Stephen Miller's politics develop? "The thing that most struck me in talking to him years ago when I was profiling him was how much of his political worldview was forged in opposition to his upbringing," said @mckaycoppins.bsky.social.
"There is a strong case to be made that by threatening the use of the American military against our NATO ally Denmark and saying — demanding — that they turn over this territory, ... you could say this marks in a way the effective end of NATO as we knew it," said @sbg1.bsky.social.
"Voters are locked in right now," said @yvonnewingett.bsky.social. "They are locked in, not because they think that Trump is any sort of badass for ... pulling it off in Venezuela. [Voters] are feeling maximum pain. That's why they are locked in."
According to a leaked memo, the DOJ is charging the IRS with going after the funders of nonprofit organizations. The news is no surprise, says @GRITLaura.bsky.social. Stay until the end of this week’s show for her commentary, and look out for the extended version on Substack: bit.ly/3MzgDDN

I asked what the Govt's ambition is for access to NHS dentistry. Sadly, the Minister did not answer my question. Of course, we need dental contract reform & training places. But if we are serious about NHS dentistry being accessible to everyone, the Govt's ambition has got to be much greater.

Massie’s bill exposed 2 dozen CEOs and world leaders in 6 months. He had 7 months left, so the GOP panicked, blasted voters with fake AI deepfakes to destroy his credibility, and shut him down. They are actively protecting the worst monsters on earth, and they just proved it.
Former Capitol Officer Michael Fanone: has a few words for Van Jones. #J6SlushFund
Did Vance just tell the American public, “We’ve accomplished our objectives?!” Right. Another lie. We went in with four demands: 1.Regime change 2.End nuclear enrichment 3.Eliminate long-range missiles 4.Stop backing Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas
If you say the US has no interest in continuing war in Iran, and Trump is only doing it to serve Israel and the Gulf State tyrannies he loves and that enrich his family, you'll be called an anti-Semitic conspiracy theorist. But then Trump just comes out and says it himself:

He’s not declassifying UAP files because he believes in transparency. He’s doing it because “It’s literally trending number one. Can you believe it?” That’s the metric now. Not policy outcomes. Not constitutional duty. Trending.
Replying to @chloe_c_84 I agree! So frustrating, but really really sadly, not surprising.

We need term limits not just for the Supreme Court, but for Congress. No one should serve for a lifetime or even decades. If we actually want a government that represents the will of the people and responds to today’s challenges, we need new leadership, and that means term limits.
