"Karoline Leavitt said that what the president actually meant was that he was supporting the Save Act," said @elizlanders.bsky.social. "But [Trump] ... continued to double down on his own statement about nationalizing the election even after she said that's not really what he meant."

"[Stephen Miller] is trying to change the perception in the nation toward immigrants to basically make it so that the pendulum of politics shifts and there's more of a tolerance for the policies he's trying to implement," said Zolan Kanno-Youngs.
Can it be argued that Iran has won the war by surviving and keeping control of the Strait of Hormuz? "I think it depends on who you ask — who’s winning or who’s losing. Certainly, you can’t say the United States has won the war, as President Trump has said," said @amnanawaz.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.
"Donald Trump has been very clear that he wants to keep the blockade. He thinks the blockade is working. I think there are reasons to surmise that the blockade is having some effect. It seems to be putting pressure on the Iranians in power right now," said Stephen Hayes.

"One of the reasons Minneapolis has stood up to this — what they call an 'invasion' of their city — is because they’ve had practice," said Toluse Olorunnipa. "It’s a city that has a long tradition of activism, and that tradition was supercharged by what happened in 2020."
"The European Union is one of the greatest inventions of modern man," said @thomaslfriedman.bsky.social. "They are a wingman in the world. We are the blessed generation that lives in a world of two United States, not just one: a United States of Europe and a United States of America."
"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."

Nebenzya: "So, this is the difference between - I mean, I'm not saying that the war is a good thing, I'm not enjoying it - but I mean, in this kind of hostilities, yes, there are civilian victims, but the difference is that we never go after civilians deliberately."
