How would you characterize the Trump foreign policy doctrine this week? "Our assumption about the first term, that he was some sort of a neo-isolationist, is wrong. That’s not the way to put it. Now he’s looking more like a neo-imperialist," said @peterbakernyt.bsky.social.

"Nineteen minutes long, that address was from the White House. It really was basically a 19-minute-long Truth Social post instead of a meaningful strategy for why [Trump has] taken such a consequential decision that has plunged the global economy into turmoil," said @sbg1.bsky.social.
"Trump is really good about asserting his own reality ... but Americans aren't going to buy it if things don't change and change soon. And even if they do improve, the higher prices are going to remain for a while," said @jonlemire.bsky.social.
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.
"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.
"I think the best way to make sense of it is to recognize that Iran and America have different definitions of 'winning' and what 'losing' is," said Gillian Tett.
"There is also a tradition where Defense secretaries attempt to minimize their overtly partisan behavior," said Missy Ryan. "They try to, in the name of national security, act more as a nonpartisan actor, and Pete Hegseth has totally discarded that tradition."
"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."
"I don't think we should underestimate Trump's ability to at least try to declare victory just out of the blue," said Missy Ryan. "There really is the reality of continued strife that could, you know, bring down the kind of economic reality that I think is more resonant for him."
"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.
"Voters are locked in right now," said @yvonnewingett.bsky.social. "They are locked in, not because they think that Trump is any sort of badass for ... pulling it off in Venezuela. [Voters] are feeling maximum pain. That's why they are locked in."
The first half of May has become one of the deadliest periods for Ukrainian civilians since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale military invasion, reaching a new level of barbarism. The Russian armed forces have continued to deliberately and systematically attack the civilian population in Ukraine.

Healthy cities have people continuously coming and going from near and far. Cities without immigration decay and suffer economically. Immigration policies should reflect these demographic realities. For more, see my new book "Immigration and Urban Vitality: How Newcomers Make Cities Strong."

Cory Doctorow : "We need to make tech workers unionized again ... because tech workers that aren't working behind a keyboard, those tech workers, they're peeing in bottles or being injured at 3x the national rate in an Amazon warehouse. That's how tech bosses treat workers they're not afraid of."

Getting the basics right came up again and again on the doors in Broxburn and Uphall. I was out on the doors again for my regular street surgery with Scottish Labour's Jenny Young for Bathgate, and the same issues kept coming up, local NHS services, schools, and the state of our roads.
