@lacaldwelldc.bsky.social: “With the Greenland situation, when I was talking to Republicans on Capitol Hill, this is really the first time in the second Trump administration that I got a lot of anger — privately, of course — from House Republicans. ... But they were afraid to say anything publicly.”

"Putin doesn’t name buildings after himself," said Franklin Foer. "The only leaders in the world who do this are in places like Turkmenistan and Tajikistan. There’s a tin-pot dictator quality to what [Trump is] doing and how he’s afflicting his insecurities on the world."
"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."
"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.
"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."
"[Trump] sees the Supreme Court as a political body. He doesn't see it as a judicial body in that sense," said @peterbakernyt.bsky.social. "By the end of the day, he'd already put out a new order trying to reimpose tariffs under a different legal authority."
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.
"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."
"You've had the purging of the press. ... I think it's a notable thing. I'm a former Pentagon correspondent," said @jonathankarl.bsky.social. "It's like [Pete Hegseth] doesn't want to face — not any dissent, because it's not a matter of dissent, but even questions that veer from the orthodoxy."
"[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.
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.
