"He has been obsessed with the idea of tariffs forever," said @eugenedaniels2.bsky.social. "Donald Trump truly believes that this is a way to do economics. I mean, you look at his kind of economic plan, this is kind of it."

"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."
"Congress is complicit in handing over their power to the executive branch," said @lacaldwelldc.bsky.social. "[Project 2025] wrote a line about Congress that, given the choice between being powerful but vulnerable or irrelevant but famous, most members of Congress have chosen the latter."
How would you characterize the Trump foreign policy doctrine this week? "Our assumption about the first term, that he was some sort of a neo-isolationist, is wrong. That’s not the way to put it. Now he’s looking more like a neo-imperialist," said @peterbakernyt.bsky.social.

President Donald Trump’s handpicked board at the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts voted Thursday to rename the institution the "Trump-Kennedy Center." Crews updated signage on the building's exterior less than 24 hours later on Friday.
"You have a federal government that's responsible for election security and maintaining the sanctity of these elections, and then you have a president that obviously has been mobilizing his government towards the grievances of the previous election," said Zolan Kanno-Youngs.
@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.”
"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?"
"I saw a tracker online who said that they’ve achieved or are in progress about 50% of the things that are in Project 2025," said @peterbakernyt.bsky.social. "One of the things that they’ve been very successful at, and I would expect to see more of [in 2026], is their war on DEI."
"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."

CJ McCollum on Jonathan Kuminga: “He has championship DNA coming from the Warriors. The athleticism is off the charts. He’s got a mid-range. He knows how to post up, screen, and defensively, he can guard 1-5. He was in a not so great situation and now he's found a happy home.”
Dit mag NOOIT meer gebeuren. Dat zeggen veel politici als de mishandeling van een kind groot in het nieuws is. Maar als het stelsel van jeugdbescherming niet wordt aangepast, als moties niet worden uitgevoerd en waarschuwingen van deskundigen worden genegeerd, dan BLIJFT dit gebeuren.

AI is now helping fake expenses. Employees are increasingly using generative AI to create fake receipts and claim reimbursement for nonexistent expenses: www.ft.com/content/0849... It seems like some employees have taken their companies’ “AI-first” messaging a little too literally.
