"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.

"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."

"This is a big gamble," said Karim Sadjadpour. "If you're able to change the leaders in Iran and empower the people into some kind of a representative government, ... that would be a geopolitical game changer for the United States and huge victory for President Trump."

"I think the omission [of the Iranian people] is part of the fact that [Trump] does not know what comes next," said Vivian Salama. "He can say that we're winding down because he has never quite defined what the end game looks like, what victory looks like."

@steveinskeep.bsky.social: "They're extremely powerful, but a couple thousand Marines is not very many in the context of a country like Iran. ... The president is clearly comfortable escalating in a way that entails greater risk for Iran, but also greater risk for the United States and the world."

"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.

"As a Pentagon reporter, we have learned over two now administrations: watch what [Trump is] doing, not what he's saying," said Idrees Ali. "The tea leaves and the movements indicate that this is going to get a lot tougher and a lot stronger really for Iran."

"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.

"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."

"I think there is a growing fear in the world that America's promises that it will sacrifice its own cities to save those of its allies, ... people just don't believe it," said David Ignatius.

Iran has completely rejected the Trump administration’s demand to transfer its enriched uranium stockpile out of the country, one of Washington’s central conditions in ongoing negotiations. But I’m sure Trump will make some kind of announcement just before the markets open on Monday.
