"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."

"What [President Trump is] interested in at any given moment is 'am I winning?' and 'is this a victory?'" said @anneapplebaum.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.

"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."
"To go outside of our planet and the immediate vicinity to go to another world is, and should be, an inspiring event. Unfortunately, it happens at a time when we're so divided at home," @peterbakernyt.bsky.social said about Artemis II. "It is this one thing, I think, that brings people together."
"[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.
"I think the best way to make sense of it is to recognize that Iran and America have different definitions of 'winning' and what 'losing' is," said Gillian Tett.
"[Trump] sees the Supreme Court as a political body. He doesn't see it as a judicial body in that sense," said @peterbakernyt.bsky.social. "By the end of the day, he'd already put out a new order trying to reimpose tariffs under a different legal authority."
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.
[President Trump] went and said help is on the way to the Iranian protesters. Time after time over the last, mostly over the last 10 days or so, he has been encouraging the Iranian protesters, and at the same time the Ayatollah has come out and … called him a tyrant,” said @jonathankarl.bsky.social.
Why did President Trump first disavow Project 2025 but later hire Russell Vought to lead the OMB? "Because it was incredibly unpopular during the campaign trail, and there was polling that showed that and that voters weren't necessarily aligned with this," said @lbarronlopez.bsky.social.
"The question that becomes is, if you don’t have a new regime, if you don’t have a change in the country … does this mean that we have to do it again in five years or 10 years or one year — who knows," said @peterbakernyt.bsky.social. "[Iran has] made clear that they're not giving up."
When President Donald Trump returned to office this year, he wasted no time in implementing Project 2025 policy recommendations despite distancing himself from the agenda on the campaign trail.

If any Qld Premier disrespects Qld journalists (& therefore Queenslanders) here's what to do. Take that non-answer into Qld's marginal seats & show it to Queenslanders. Put their reaction on the nightly news. Does it again? Repeat. You'll get a sitdown interview. #qldpol

"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.

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
💙❤️ Alèxia Putellas, agraïda i esgotada després d’un dia molt intens en què s’ha acomiadat del Barça. Al matí hi ha hagut un emotiu acte institucional on la capitana ha repassat tota la seva trajectòria amb companyes, directius i familiars. A la tarda, l’equip de Pere Romeu ha jugat l’últim partit…

Some of Cuomo's closing argument choices have been, shall we say interesting 🤦🏾♂️ And this one was BEFORE @Trump's last minute endorsement 😬😳🫤
use your imagination that ballroom he just has to have because Marlargo isn’t enough it’s not about the ballroom. It’s about the Epstein’s Island bunker. He’s building underneath because anything Hitler had Trump has to have as well. He won’t even use any of his stolen money to pay his hit squad.

This is the only 3 second clip you will ever need to explain why Trump did something or said something when you realize how simple he is - everything starts to make sense everyone is always trying to "explain" the reason he did something, how it hurts others blah blah blah he doesn't care
I've already mentioned they were Ice officers and mercenaries. Israeli United States futures act of 2026 brought to the floor by Kristen Gillibrand would merge the US and Israeli military. They would share everything. This is a silent takeover of America by the Zionists.
