"[Trump] is using the full powers of the federal government, the FBI, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and other people in the Justice Department to suck up information to try and confirm the debunked theories he has about the 2020 election,” said @michaelscherer.bsky.social.

"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.
What was the rationale behind Trump's Wednesday night speech? @jonathankarl.bsky.social: "He's taken a lot of heat for the state of the economy. He sees it. He reads the polls' numbers. He watches the news coverage. He's upset about it, so he thought he could go out there and kind of undo it."
What is your analysis of the Iran deal that's taking shape? "That this was a war of choice and it's a peace of necessity," said David Ignatius. "Both sides are exhausted. ... It's been time to make peace, but it's been difficult to get there."
"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.
"What [President Trump is] interested in at any given moment is 'am I winning?' and 'is this a victory?'" said @anneapplebaum.bsky.social.
"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.
"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.
Stephen Hayes: "It has been widely reported that Donald Trump was down on [Tulsi Gabbard], and there's nothing you can do if you are in Trump’s orbit that will get you back in his good graces sooner and faster than going and supporting his crazy arguments about the 2020 election having been stolen."
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.
"[Trump] came in as an America First president, that he wasn’t going to get involved in international affairs. I think the shock is not that he has so many different ideas, but that it's so at odds with what he promised the administration would be,” said @nancyayoussef.bsky.social.

The bar scene in downtown Walnut Creek is not the greatest. You have a few old bars that aren’t cool enough to call dives and a slew of nice restaurants that serve cocktails. But now, a new rooftop haven is filling the void, and it comes from an unlikely source: an office park brewery 3 miles away.
