Carrie Dann talks about why Kansas' Senate race is a toss-up. "Almost every cycle, there is an incumbent senator who kind of gets caught napping a little bit and wakes up to the reality that, 'Oh, I actually have a competitive race,'" she told Washington Week moderator Jeffrey Goldberg.

"There's a reason that it is now quite possible that the Democrats have a better chance of winning in Kansas than they do in Maine," @jonathankarl.bsky.social tells Washington Week moderator Jeffrey Goldberg.

If the GOP loses control of Congress in the midterms, what does it mean for President Donald Trump and the party? “I think what we will see is several investigations [and] potential impeachment inquiries into both Cabinet members and the president," @adamhsays.com says.

Why is President Donald Trump taking an unpopular stance on data centers? "I think it has to do with how he views AI technologically as being a race with China," Asma Khalid of BBC News tells @elizlanders.bsky.social

The House of Representatives left Washington on Wednesday, and members don't plan to return until after the midterm elections. So where does that leave the debate over AI regulation? Here's what @lacaldwelldc.bsky.social is hearing on Capitol Hill.

"The stock market is absolutely hitched to this AI boom right now," says @eamonjavers.bsky.social. "If the AI bubble bursts, you're going to see huge collateral damage throughout the financial markets, and a lot of Americans are going to feel that."

"The way the president speaks about this, he does not seem to treat this like it is an urgent concern," the AP's Michelle Price (@michellelprice.bsky.social) says of the national debt hitting $40 trillion.

Liz Landers (@elizlanders.bsky.social) has been reporting on the situation aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, where reports describe appalling conditions and declining mental health. She shares how sailors' families have reacted to the president's comments about the ship.

On Iran, the Trump administration "has continuously tried to project confidence over the last six months, even as it's been quite clear that their control, or lack thereof, is the central factor in this," says Adam Harris (@adamhsays.com).

Jeffrey Goldberg (@jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social): What's the larger meaning of the president's secret flight from Turkey last month? Elisabeth Bumiller: "The way the civilians on the plane were potential sacrificial lambs and that they were so unaware of it."

"There's a real fight on Capitol Hill about how much to fund the war. Some of this among Republicans themselves, like how to fund it," said Carl Hulse.

"I've counted seven times [President Trump has] done this — seven times since the start of the war — where he has threatened to escalate majorly and then backed off, claiming progress on peace talks," said @jonathankarl.bsky.social.

"The one thing that rings true in [Trump's] tweet is that there is an effort to replenish these stockpiles, but what I'd like to talk about a little bit is the fact that this is a problem actually decades in the making, and it's going to take years to solve it," said Missy Ryan.

"The reporting shows that [President Trump] sees [the Iran war] just as a headache, a political liability. He's searching for ways to get out of a war that he started and that has gone on far longer than he initially, at least, said that it would go on for," said Zolan Kanno-Youngs.

.@jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social: "Only a small number of politicians seem capable of leveling with their fellow Americans. ... Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me, but I do believe that we used to hold public servants to a higher standard."

"When members of Congress are asked to fund billions and billions of dollars when their constituents are the ones who are being put on the line for this, patience obviously wears quite thin. But I will say it is not manifesting in a rebuke to the president," said @lacaldwelldc.bsky.social.
