David Ignatius, foreign affairs columnist for The Washington Post, joined moderator Jeffrey Goldberg to discuss the global consequences of America’s unpredictability, including the current state of negotiations with Iran.

"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."

"When we're talking about DEI, we're talking about [Pete Hegseth's] anti-woke war. I just would like to put some of this into a little bit of perspective," said Helene Cooper. "If you looked at the people who were in the leadership roles of the military. All of them were white men."

President Donald Trump’s crackdown on immigration, and protests against the actions of federal agents, put both the city of Minneapolis and the state of Minnesota in the national spotlight.

"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."

"Trump reveres royalty, and he loved the state visit that he had in the United Kingdom," said @tylerpager.bsky.social. "The Brits see this as an opportunity to reestablish a good relationship with Trump because they know how much he reveres the king and the queen."

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."

"We could learn a lot more after Trump is done being president now, because the precedent has been set," said @andrewdesiderio.bsky.social. "The precedent has now been set that a former president can be compelled to testify before a congressional committee, right? Bill Clinton did that today."

Is the Iran war winding down? "You could argue that the war is winding up because [Trump] is sending more Marines in, he is increasing the pace of the attacks," said @sangernyt.bsky.social.

"[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.
