"Nineteen minutes long, that address was from the White House. It really was basically a 19-minute-long Truth Social post instead of a meaningful strategy for why [Trump has] taken such a consequential decision that has plunged the global economy into turmoil," said @sbg1.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.

"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?"
"It is hard to prosecute in a state court these types of matters. ... Whether or not [the ICE officers] were protected by immunity, that doesn't seem to be the case," said Vivian Salama.
"In terms of the economic piece of this, there is a real awareness that this is a big political, a domestic political problem staring them in the face, that even if, let's say, the war wraps up next week, this is not going to be solved economically immediately," said @michellelprice.bsky.social.
President Donald Trump’s crackdown on immigration, and protests against the actions of federal agents, put both the city of Minneapolis and the state of Minnesota in the national spotlight.
David Ignatius, foreign affairs columnist for The Washington Post, joined moderator Jeffrey Goldberg to discuss the global consequences of America’s unpredictability, including the current state of negotiations with Iran.
"There is a strong case to be made that by threatening the use of the American military against our NATO ally Denmark and saying — demanding — that they turn over this territory, ... you could say this marks in a way the effective end of NATO as we knew it," said @sbg1.bsky.social.
"Kharg Island is only about 1/3 the size of Manhattan, but don’t let that small size mislead you. It is the cornerstone of the Iranian economy. 90% of its oil exports come out of that island. And so the strikes on it have two big impacts, both military and economic," @nancyayoussef.bsky.social.
"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."
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.
"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.

Listen to me get distracted, talking about my “melancholy” piece. I wanted to talk about the sadness but my mind went elsewhere with its textures. It’s one of my personal favs of my own work. I’ll prob keep talking about it because there’s so much on this piece that short vids won’t do it justice 🖤

#KarolineLeavitt talking to reporters before White House Correspondent’s Dinner: “There will be some shots fired”
As the cost of everything continues to skyrocket, Donald Trump finally admitted last week that he doesn’t care about the American people’s financial situations. Nevadans deserve better. They deserve leaders who will work for them and their families.
