"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.

"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.

"This war — the preliminary estimates say that it's costing a billion dollars a day," said @nancyayoussef.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.
"I was on the ground in southern Iraq on the day that Saddam's forces left the southern city of Basra," said @sbg1.bsky.social. "The American and British officers we spoke with had no idea what they were doing there. They didn't know what the goal was."
"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
"Karoline Leavitt said that what the president actually meant was that he was supporting the Save Act," said @elizlanders.bsky.social. "But [Trump] ... continued to double down on his own statement about nationalizing the election even after she said that's not really what he meant."
"[Trump] is using the full powers of the federal government, the FBI, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and other people in the Justice Department to suck up information to try and confirm the debunked theories he has about the 2020 election,” said @michaelscherer.bsky.social.
"Voters are locked in right now," said @yvonnewingett.bsky.social. "They are locked in, not because they think that Trump is any sort of badass for ... pulling it off in Venezuela. [Voters] are feeling maximum pain. That's why they are locked in."
"Putin doesn’t name buildings after himself," said Franklin Foer. "The only leaders in the world who do this are in places like Turkmenistan and Tajikistan. There’s a tin-pot dictator quality to what [Trump is] doing and how he’s afflicting his insecurities on the world."
"This is a big gamble," said Karim Sadjadpour. "If you're able to change the leaders in Iran and empower the people into some kind of a representative government, ... that would be a geopolitical game changer for the United States and huge victory for President Trump."
“If you are in a situation where you’re trying to support protesters, you need to know what it is you’re trying to do. Regime change? Trying to promote democracy? Trying to just stop the killing? And we never heard that from this White House,” said @sangernyt.bsky.social.

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

Ads don’t fail because of media buying alone. They fail because of wrong audience, weak messaging, or no follow-up. Fix the system, not just the ads, and results become predictable.

Zionist settlers installed screens in a square to watch the ethnic cleansing in southern Lebanon, as if it were a soccer match, cheering every bomb that explodes against the homes of Lebanese families. These psychos did similar in Gaza, this flaunting of genocide is not normal.
