@heathmayo.bsky.social: "It's a tough time in our country right now. It's a tough time to want to engage in politics when politics is so exhausting and destructive, but the only way it is going to get better is if we step up and do something about it."
@davidfrum.bsky.social: "It is a little incredible to me that we seem to be standing in silence with scarcely a word of debate on the precipice of what could be an enormous war in the Middle East."
@davidfrum.bsky.social: "You can see that the president's standing in the country is diminishing. His self-control is diminishing…It seems like he telephoned to C-SPAN this morning, it's hard to believe that that's true."
@davidfrum.bsky.social: "The torture prison in El Salvador is now closed, the people who were sent there are allowed to return, and there is going to be a spasm of private litigation coming from people who were abused, detained, and held that is going to consume the Trump apparatus."
@davidfrum.bsky.social: "If Trump believes that these tariffs are so good for America, why doesn't he…write a tariff bill, send it to Congress, have them pass, and collect the revenues? Well, that was not the point. The point was to have an instrument of personal power."
@hollybfletcher.bsky.social: "In America we're increasingly listening to too much propaganda."
@urielepshtein.bsky.social: "Tucker Carlson is actually so blatant that Russian propagandists were actually instructed not to use some of Tucker's segments because they were seen as too over the top."
@hollybfletcher.bsky.social: "Not only did PEPFAR save 25 million lives. Africa was looking at an economic and demographic calamity because of the AIDS crisis…PEPFAR not only saved lives but it promoted and protected economies and shored up stability."
@benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org: "We do all kinds of good stuff. I want to particularly draw your attention to PEPFAR…If you live in certain parts of Africa, that is a more significant American event than, say, the invasion of Iraq — which we're all aware did a lot of damage to us internationally."
@hollybfletcher.bsky.social: "The demise of VOA…that's part of the demise of our soft power writ large. Not every country of is going to be of the high policy priority that would warrant military intervention…but almost every country in the world used to benefit from some element of our soft power
@benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org: "You've got to be a little bit blind not to see that the movement that we call MAGA domestically actually is a global movement. There are democratic challenges that look pretty similar in a lot of countries around the world right now."
@jrhuddles.bsky.social: "The fact that we as the American people still stand up for the First Amendment and that the First Amendment still stands strong when it faces challenges gives me hope. It continues to be one of the most exceptional things about us 250 years into our country."
