. @peterbakernyt.bsky.social : "What we're seeing is a real escalation in this second term [of the Trump administration] about going after people who they consider to be enemies and that they consider to be providing information that they don't want to be out there, or views to be squelched."

Is the U.S. winning the Iran war? “As Donald Trump says, ‘we’ve won, it’s over, it’s over, it’s over,’ we think about how far we are from a kind of decisive victory that would really end this in a way that everybody can be confident it’s over," said David Ignatius.

@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."

"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.

"We should be clear, though, we have had military success," said Stephen Hayes. "Military success in the short term, which I think we've had a lot ... I think the real question is what now? What comes next?"

"When you are at war with another country, the other country gets a say," said @seungminkim1.bsky.social. "[Trump's] ambitions are not something that's easily explainable to the voter who is looking at the gas tank, who is looking at the price tag when they fill up their cars."

Why did President Trump decide to go to war against Iran? "Why now is still an open question," said @peterbakernyt.bsky.social. "I think a lot of reasons are he felt emboldened by Venezuela, and he's becoming increasingly comfortable with power as he goes further into his second term."

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'm going to confess something on your show, Jeff. I have no sources in this administration," said @thomaslfriedman.bsky.social. "Having sources in this administration other than the president would be dangerous because ... Trump can go absolute 180 degrees the opposite the next day."

"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.

The second round of U.S.-Iran talks could begin next week, led by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. But the two sides remain far apart on key issues. Marc Short: "There is a concern about having two real estate developers be your lead negotiators, who are not Senate confirmed."

There are now reports that Secretary Hegseth may have been trying to enrich himself by trading stocks related to defense companies leading up to the Iran War. We’re launching an investigation today into what appears to be both major corruption and a national security threat.

Waiving some small historical debts and providing compensation for illegal income apportionment is welcome, but it's just scratching the surface. The govt needs to implement the Robodebt Royal Commission recommendations now and get to work on creating a social security system that lifts us all up.
