What does it mean to nationalize an election? "I think for Trump, it means to go in there and run the elections in states and localities that he's lost," said @jonathankarl.bsky.social. "He's talking about some sense of a federal takeover of the way the elections are run."

"China today is a pure military and economic rival of the United States," said @thomaslfriedman.bsky.social. "These are serious people. When 1.3 billion serious people are focused on economic growth and military development, the idea that we alone can take them on is utter nonsense."
"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.
"There is a strong case to be made that by threatening the use of the American military against our NATO ally Denmark and saying — demanding — that they turn over this territory, ... you could say this marks in a way the effective end of NATO as we knew it," said @sbg1.bsky.social.
Is the U.S. winning the Iran war? “As Donald Trump says, ‘we’ve won, it’s over, it’s over, it’s over,’ we think about how far we are from a kind of decisive victory that would really end this in a way that everybody can be confident it’s over," said David Ignatius.
"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."
"I can say that the administration is still trying to limit the objectives and not make this look like an endless war, but it's been a mess in terms of the messaging of what this actually looks like, what an endgame actually looks like," said @markmazzetti.bsky.social.
"They don't want Iran to have a nuclear weapon, but they don't want to bail the United States out of a mess that the United States is currently in," @markmazzetti.bsky.social says of China. "They're not going to make it easy on President Trump to get out of this."
"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."
"Netanyahu needs President Trump to back him later this year because he's going to be facing voters again, and right now he's not very popular," said @michaelscherer.bsky.social. "I think there's a parallel political peril in the United States."
"Donald Trump has it out for NATO. He has it out for America's European allies," said @sbg1.bsky.social. "It's very hard to see a scenario here where this doesn't represent a big blow to American international power and standing in many ways."
