@steveinskeep.bsky.social: "They're extremely powerful, but a couple thousand Marines is not very many in the context of a country like Iran. ... The president is clearly comfortable escalating in a way that entails greater risk for Iran, but also greater risk for the United States and the world."

Where are we in U.S.–Canada relations? "Well, if Donald Trump gets his way, there will be no border. It'll be another part of the United States," 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."
A little over a week has passed since the United States and Israel went to war against Iran. While the military campaign appears effective, the key question for President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu remains: Why did they choose to strike? And, why now?
"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."
"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.
The state of the U.S.-Iran ceasefire remains fragile. President Donald Trump said Monday that the latest Iranian proposal was a "piece of garbage," and the ceasefire is "unbelievably weak" and on "life support."
"We could learn a lot more after Trump is done being president now, because the precedent has been set," said @andrewdesiderio.bsky.social. "The precedent has now been set that a former president can be compelled to testify before a congressional committee, right? Bill Clinton did that today."
"Journalists are part of a broader civil society in this country that has been under siege, and what I think a lot of people, when they look at Washington, ... and they say we’re revolted by this spectacle, they include the press in that ...
"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.
@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'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.
