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.

In a special conversation with The New York Times foreign affairs columnist Thomas Friedman on Washington Week with The Atlantic, Friedman confessed to moderator Jeffrey Goldberg that he has "no sources" in the Trump administration.
"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.
Around 2,500 U.S. Marines and the amphibious warship USS Tripoli have been deployed to the Middle East as the war with Iran continues. The deployment is a part of a Marine Expeditionary Unit, which specializes in rapidly responding to crises and conducting amphibious landings.
"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.
"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.
"The fact that [Pete Hegseth] has this ability, as a former television reporter, to kind of deliver the message to the president in a way the president not only understands, but that resonates with him, that has kept him in his job," said Vivian Salama.
How are Republicans approaching not only President Trump's speech, but the agenda moving forward until midterms? "The redistricting fight does not seem like it's going the way that they wanted it to. We don't know if that's going to save it," said @lisad.bsky.social.
Why did President Trump first disavow Project 2025 but later hire Russell Vought to lead the OMB? "Because it was incredibly unpopular during the campaign trail, and there was polling that showed that and that voters weren't necessarily aligned with this," said @lbarronlopez.bsky.social.
"With Kash Patel, though we should be clear, there’s not exactly been a vociferous defense from the president for the FBI director, but he also still has his job, despite questions about his job performance, including those raised within the ranks of the FBI," said @jonlemire.bsky.social.
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?

TikTok would have you believe all Latinas are crazy. That is definitely not true, but there is a baseline level of cultural difference you will have to make peace with.
$60 to fill up a PRIUS in Ohio. A PRIUS. She bought a hybrid to save money and Trump’s war ate that too. Every time she gets ahead — BAM. Pulled back 7 steps. She’s trying to build a house, trying to live, and he started a war nobody asked for. #TrumpsGasFailure
In addition to allegations from The Atlantic, a watchdog organization has filed a new request today for records pertaining to FBI Director Kash Patel, citing new reports of excessive alcohol use. Listen to Patel unravel when he is asked the first question...
