"As I was listening to the protests from European leaders this week, ... they were saying this could be the effective end of NATO, as if that might be a deterrent to Donald Trump. I don't think that that will necessarily stop him because I think that may be part of what he wants," said Stephen Hayes

"Gas prices are up 50%. Consumer confidence from the University of Michigan's survey is at its lowest point ever," said Idrees Kahloon. "This is really not the set of economic priorities that you want to be sending before you go to the midterms."

"[Stephen Miller] is trying to change the perception in the nation toward immigrants to basically make it so that the pendulum of politics shifts and there's more of a tolerance for the policies he's trying to implement," said Zolan Kanno-Youngs.

"[President Trump's] top generals and war planners came to him and said, 'Sir, one of the first things that will happen is the Strait of Hormuz will be closed,'" said Annie Linskey. "Trump believed that the regime would fall first, and that turned out to be wrong."

Why did the framers of the Constitution think it was important to devolve election supervision to local authority? "In part to prevent exactly this, ... from a president or some sort of ruler to try to rig the system. The authorities should be in the states," said @jonlemire.bsky.social.

@steveinskeep.bsky.social: "They're extremely powerful, but a couple thousand Marines is not very many in the context of a country like Iran. ... The president is clearly comfortable escalating in a way that entails greater risk for Iran, but also greater risk for the United States and the world."

"When you are at war with another country, the other country gets a say," said @seungminkim1.bsky.social. "[Trump's] ambitions are not something that's easily explainable to the voter who is looking at the gas tank, who is looking at the price tag when they fill up their cars."

"This war — the preliminary estimates say that it's costing a billion dollars a day," said @nancyayoussef.bsky.social.

"I think the omission [of the Iranian people] is part of the fact that [Trump] does not know what comes next," said Vivian Salama. "He can say that we're winding down because he has never quite defined what the end game looks like, what victory looks like."

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.

Last year, the Admin illegally terminated thousands of grants at the NEA and NEH—agencies that help generate more than $1 TRILLION in economic activity. These cuts don’t just silence voices and stymie creators. They erase the spaces where healing, connection, and community happen. It’s just WRONG!

Anger lies. It tells you things are bigger than they are. A late text feels like contempt. A tone feels like an attack. Ask one question when heated. "Will this matter in 7 days?" Most of the time, no. Peer support, not therapy. Call 988 in crisis. #angermanagement #peersupport
