"You've had the purging of the press. ... I think it's a notable thing. I'm a former Pentagon correspondent," said @jonathankarl.bsky.social. "It's like [Pete Hegseth] doesn't want to face — not any dissent, because it's not a matter of dissent, but even questions that veer from the orthodoxy."

"I think it's extraordinary to fire the head of the Army, the largest branch in the military, during a war and not related to the war itself, right? [Gen. Randy George] did nothing wrong within the war, and so I think it's extraordinary, raises real questions," said Idrees Ali.
"China today is a pure military and economic rival of the United States," said @thomaslfriedman.bsky.social. "These are serious people. When 1.3 billion serious people are focused on economic growth and military development, the idea that we alone can take them on is utter nonsense."
"It is hard to prosecute in a state court these types of matters. ... Whether or not [the ICE officers] were protected by immunity, that doesn't seem to be the case," said Vivian Salama.
Around 2,500 U.S. Marines and the amphibious warship USS Tripoli have been deployed to the Middle East as the war with Iran continues. The deployment is a part of a Marine Expeditionary Unit, which specializes in rapidly responding to crises and conducting amphibious landings.
"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."
Is the Iran war winding down? "You could argue that the war is winding up because [Trump] is sending more Marines in, he is increasing the pace of the attacks," said @sangernyt.bsky.social.
"The European Union is one of the greatest inventions of modern man," said @thomaslfriedman.bsky.social. "They are a wingman in the world. We are the blessed generation that lives in a world of two United States, not just one: a United States of Europe and a United States of America."
"As a Pentagon reporter, we have learned over two now administrations: watch what [Trump is] doing, not what he's saying," said Idrees Ali. "The tea leaves and the movements indicate that this is going to get a lot tougher and a lot stronger really for Iran."
"The data that we've gotten from the Pentagon is quite limited. ... While there has been impact, we don't know the scope and scale of it," said @nancyayoussef.bsky.social.
@lacaldwelldc.bsky.social: “With the Greenland situation, when I was talking to Republicans on Capitol Hill, this is really the first time in the second Trump administration that I got a lot of anger — privately, of course — from House Republicans. ... But they were afraid to say anything publicly.”

“In 2025, these data center protests successfully stalled over $100 billion worth of these facilities,” says journalist @karenhao.bsky.social. Hao adds that so many communities are able to mobilize because the issue “really does cut across political lines.”
Last summer began with three tiny puppies abandoned at a cement factory on the outskirts of the city. They were so small, so scared, and the place was incredibly dangerous for them... We took them to safety and started searching for families, but no one wanted to adopt them.

Washington HITS Iran, then acts OFFENDED when Iran touches the leverage Washington forced it to use. The US wants Iran to absorb attacks, bury its dead, lose its leaders — and still keep the Strait of Hormuz open like nothing happened. You don’t get to light the fire and complain about the smoke.
