"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."
"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.
"On the question of immigration, I'm for a really high wall with a very big gate," said @thomaslfriedman.bsky.social. "I'm super pro-immigration, but it's got to be done in a way where the people can become Americans and be really anchored in our society and our values."
"We should be clear, though, we have had military success," said Stephen Hayes. "Military success in the short term, which I think we've had a lot ... I think the real question is what now? What comes next?"
"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.
"If you're in the hunt for coherence, you're covering the wrong administration," said @sangernyt.bsky.social. "[Trump] pulls back when it looks like he could be in a confrontation with a nuclear-armed country, ... or get involved in something on the ground that he can't control."
How is China viewing the U.S. depletion of weapons stocks that could theoretically defend Taiwan? "China is definitely looking at that," said Vivian Salama. "A number of ... just diverted interests that China sees as a door opening, and its intense interest in securing its position in Taiwan."
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.
"In January of 2016, [Stephen] Miller was one of the very first people to leave Jeff Sessions' office and go to [Trump's] campaign," said @lacaldwelldc.bsky.social. "But Jeff Sessions, a month later, was the very first person — the first senator — to endorse Donald Trump."
"It's always better for a president in a time of war to go to the public and explain what he's trying to do, to explain the goals, to explain why it's worth American treasure and lives to take this action, but it felt like a day one speech, not a day 32 speech," said @peterbakernyt.bsky.social.
ZELENSKYY: We have capability to act preventively with regard to de facto leadership of Belarus, which must clearly understand there will be consequences if aggressive actions against Ukraine are taken. We won't forget 2022, when offensive came from territory of Belarus as well.

When Colin Allred decided to run for Senate, he kicked North Texans to the curb and started voting with Republicans, abandoning Democratic values. He voted to pass the Laken Riley Act and voted for a bill to make it harder for people to pay bail. We just can't trust Colin Allred. #TX33

The killings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti are devastating tragedies and absolutely indefensible. We cannot let this spiral into more bloodshed. We need fair, thorough, unbiased investigations with local & state law enforcement fully involved. The truth must come out & people must be held accountable.
