"I think there is a growing fear in the world that America's promises that it will sacrifice its own cities to save those of its allies, ... people just don't believe it," said David Ignatius.

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.

"What Donald Trump has made very clear is that no matter what's written on paper, no matter what laws are passed by Congress, there are no permanent commitments or alliances, as far as he's concerned," @sbg1.bsky.social says.

"I can say that the administration is still trying to limit the objectives and not make this look like an endless war, but it's been a mess in terms of the messaging of what this actually looks like, what an endgame actually looks like," said @markmazzetti.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."

Why did the framers of the Constitution think it was important to devolve election supervision to local authority? "In part to prevent exactly this, ... from a president or some sort of ruler to try to rig the system. The authorities should be in the states," said @jonlemire.bsky.social.

"What's been so striking is how many of those very same Republicans who were calling for the release of the files, had promised to get to the bottom of them, are now saying things that are just the opposite," said Stephen Hayes.

"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.

"You're taking the people writ large who had the absolute lowest approval rating in the country: journalists, members of Congress, and often the President. You are putting them in a ballroom. You are dressing them up. You are feeding them … filet and lobster," said @ashleyrparker.bsky.social.

"[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."
