"It's a tragic moment, of course, that politics and violence have become so interweaved that we didn't even really pause for very long to think about what it meant and what it tells us about our politics today," said @peterbakernyt.bsky.social about Saturday's alleged assassination attempt.

"They don't want Iran to have a nuclear weapon, but they don't want to bail the United States out of a mess that the United States is currently in," @markmazzetti.bsky.social says of China. "They're not going to make it easy on President Trump to get out of this."
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.
What was the rationale behind Trump's Wednesday night speech? @jonathankarl.bsky.social: "He's taken a lot of heat for the state of the economy. He sees it. He reads the polls' numbers. He watches the news coverage. He's upset about it, so he thought he could go out there and kind of undo it."
"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.
"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."

How are Republicans approaching not only President Trump's speech, but the agenda moving forward until midterms? "The redistricting fight does not seem like it's going the way that they wanted it to. We don't know if that's going to save it," said @lisad.bsky.social.
"Trump reveres royalty, and he loved the state visit that he had in the United Kingdom," said @tylerpager.bsky.social. "The Brits see this as an opportunity to reestablish a good relationship with Trump because they know how much he reveres the king and the queen."
"The key thing to remember about the Epstein story is that it is a case that has been mishandled for decades," said @sfifz787.bsky.social. "For the first time, Republicans in Congress and Democrats ... were willing to openly defy their leadership and call for the release of these files."

🎬 Reel vs. Real: Ghosts of Mississippi 🕯️ The 1996 film dramatizes the long-delayed prosecution of Medgar Evers’ killer. But beneath the courtroom speeches lies a deeper truth: the original failure wasn’t just legal — it was structural.

I urged all members to reject the removal of the Digital Services Tax. Letting US big tech off the hook means walking away from $7.2B that could fund public services and infrastructure. We should not be abandoning Canadian policy simply because of pressure from Donald Trump.
