"You're taking the people writ large who had the absolute lowest approval rating in the country: journalists, members of Congress, and often the President. You are putting them in a ballroom. You are dressing them up. You are feeding them … filet and lobster," said @ashleyrparker.bsky.social.

Where are we in U.S.–Canada relations? "Well, if Donald Trump gets his way, there will be no border. It'll be another part of the United States," said @peterbakernyt.bsky.social.

"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.
"[Trump] came in as an America First president, that he wasn’t going to get involved in international affairs. I think the shock is not that he has so many different ideas, but that it's so at odds with what he promised the administration would be,” said @nancyayoussef.bsky.social.
President Donald Trump’s crackdown on immigration, and protests against the actions of federal agents, put both the city of Minneapolis and the state of Minnesota in the national spotlight.
"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."
"If Iran would have been successful, it's highly likely, I'm told by people close to [Trump] that he already would have been in Cuba. So, it's the successes that he feels like he has had over and over again is perpetuating this image of this godlike image," said @lacaldwelldc.bsky.social.
"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
"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.
"What Donald Trump has made very clear is that no matter what's written on paper, no matter what laws are passed by Congress, there are no permanent commitments or alliances, as far as he's concerned," @sbg1.bsky.social says.
The state of the U.S.-Iran ceasefire remains fragile. President Donald Trump said Monday that the latest Iranian proposal was a "piece of garbage," and the ceasefire is "unbelievably weak" and on "life support."
@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."
