What is your analysis of the Iran deal that's taking shape? "That this was a war of choice and it's a peace of necessity," said David Ignatius. "Both sides are exhausted. ... It's been time to make peace, but it's been difficult to get there."

"Congress is complicit in handing over their power to the executive branch," said @lacaldwelldc.bsky.social. "[Project 2025] wrote a line about Congress that, given the choice between being powerful but vulnerable or irrelevant but famous, most members of Congress have chosen the latter."
"The Trump doctrine, in part, is just do it. Just go for it," said David Ignatius. "When you look back to President Obama, ... he did plan carefully. ... The opposite of what you see with Trump."
"A lot of these [Project 2025] authors came from the first Trump administration," said @dgraham.bsky.social. "So their idea was to put together this vision for sort of maximalist executive power. ... To establish a very socially conservative vision of America."
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.
"Journalists are part of a broader civil society in this country that has been under siege, and what I think a lot of people, when they look at Washington, ... and they say we’re revolted by this spectacle, they include the press in that ...
"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.
"If you're in the hunt for coherence, you're covering the wrong administration," said @sangernyt.bsky.social. "[Trump] pulls back when it looks like he could be in a confrontation with a nuclear-armed country, ... or get involved in something on the ground that he can't control."
"He has been obsessed with the idea of tariffs forever," said @eugenedaniels2.bsky.social. "Donald Trump truly believes that this is a way to do economics. I mean, you look at his kind of economic plan, this is kind of it."
“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.
"I can say that the administration is still trying to limit the objectives and not make this look like an endless war, but it's been a mess in terms of the messaging of what this actually looks like, what an endgame actually looks like," said @markmazzetti.bsky.social.

Americans can’t afford health care, child care, or groceries, but Trump is spending $1 billion a day on a war that is making no one safer.

Harry Enten: How delicious for Democrats this morning. In 2024, Donald Trump won Florida's HD-87 by 11 points. Look at this swing, all the way to the left. The Democrat winning it by 2 points in the special election. Democrats are able to win in Donald Trump's backyard.

Didn't these effers ever get taught about Constitutional rights? In order to be a law enforcement officer, you should be tested on people's rights every flippin year & the test should be hard, like passing the fking bar. There should also be psych tests administered it annually.
Trump's tariffs cost the average family $1,700 last year, with higher prices on everything from groceries to electronics, clothes, and shipping. Now, the corporations that passed on higher costs from tariffs to consumers are set to get the refunds, leaving consumers empty-handed.
