"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.

"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."
"The key thing to remember about the Epstein story is that it is a case that has been mishandled for decades," said @sfifz787.bsky.social. "For the first time, Republicans in Congress and Democrats ... were willing to openly defy their leadership and call for the release of these files."
"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.
"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."
"Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, has a pretty realistic view of [the Iran war]. He told them from the beginning it wouldn't be as easy as the president said it was," said @peterbakernyt.bsky.social.
"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."
"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.
"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.
. @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."
"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.
