"The Supreme Court told the President of the United States very clearly, if you want these tariffs, get Congress to pass a law to issue these tariffs," said @sbg1.bsky.social. "He's trying to bypass the way our system is supposed to work."
"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."
"[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."
. @peterbakernyt.bsky.social : "What we're seeing is a real escalation in this second term [of the Trump administration] about going after people who they consider to be enemies and that they consider to be providing information that they don't want to be out there, or views to be squelched."
"Netanyahu needs President Trump to back him later this year because he's going to be facing voters again, and right now he's not very popular," said @michaelscherer.bsky.social. "I think there's a parallel political peril in the United States."

@lacaldwelldc.bsky.social: “With the Greenland situation, when I was talking to Republicans on Capitol Hill, this is really the first time in the second Trump administration that I got a lot of anger — privately, of course — from House Republicans. ... But they were afraid to say anything publicly.”
"You've had the purging of the press. ... I think it's a notable thing. I'm a former Pentagon correspondent," said @jonathankarl.bsky.social. "It's like [Pete Hegseth] doesn't want to face — not any dissent, because it's not a matter of dissent, but even questions that veer from the orthodoxy."
"Trump is really good about asserting his own reality ... but Americans aren't going to buy it if things don't change and change soon. And even if they do improve, the higher prices are going to remain for a while," said @jonlemire.bsky.social.
What would be the consequences of a semipermanent hostility between Canada and the U.S.? "They’re massive trading partners with each other, so it would hurt the Canadians more because they’re more dependent on us than we are on them, but it would hurt us as well," said Idrees Kahloon.
