When President Donald Trump returned to office this year, he wasted no time in implementing Project 2025 policy recommendations despite distancing himself from the agenda on the campaign trail.

Where did Stephen Miller's politics develop? "The thing that most struck me in talking to him years ago when I was profiling him was how much of his political worldview was forged in opposition to his upbringing," said @mckaycoppins.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."
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.
"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."
"The European Union is one of the greatest inventions of modern man," said @thomaslfriedman.bsky.social. "They are a wingman in the world. We are the blessed generation that lives in a world of two United States, not just one: a United States of Europe and a United States of America."
“If you are in a situation where you’re trying to support protesters, you need to know what it is you’re trying to do. Regime change? Trying to promote democracy? Trying to just stop the killing? And we never heard that from this White House,” 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.
"It's a tragic moment, of course, that politics and violence have become so interweaved that we didn't even really pause for very long to think about what it meant and what it tells us about our politics today," said @peterbakernyt.bsky.social about Saturday's alleged assassination attempt.
"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."
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.
The school funding formula needed an update and I’m glad the legislature made a change. We need to pay our teachers more and fully fund our schools.

I liked how because of Midori's height, he always lands on his feet. But because of his inexperience, it always seems entirely incidental. His feet just happened to be near the ground.
