“Do not be fooled by lip service. Pay attention to the policy. This administration is choosing to walk away from mental health—during Mental Health Awareness Month, no less. And millions will pay the price.” Important from Benjamin F. Miller, Norman J. Ornstein, Kavita Patel.

“Conclaves have internal dynamics. Here is why this year's is most like 1958's.” V-smart analysis of the papal election from ⁦@MichaelSWinters⁩ @NCR. I wonder if it will end as quickly as Michael Sean suggests, but he’s a wise, well-sourced analyst. https://t.co/9IOYAaI1YD

The Trump boomerang sinks Australia’s right wing. Aussies rejected “Make Australia Great Again” politics and reelected a progressive prime minister . Trump hoped he’d push other countries toward far right nationalism. The opposite is happening. My column https://t.co/kpH4ZFl69F

Trump’s boomerang lifted the center-left in Australia’s election. PM Anthony Albanese’s disciplined campaign on economic issues mattered. So did mistakes by conservative leader Peter Dutton. But Trump altered the battlefield & upended the right. My column https://t.co/kpH4ZFl69F

My friend ⁦@MilesRapoport⁩ & I wrote our book “100% Democracy” to argue that the US should adopt a version of Australia’s universal voting system. This thoughtful ⁦@Taniel⁩ piece makes a great case for the “egalitarian pressure” it creates. https://t.co/IIivTKwRia

The Liberal, ardently patriotic Canada Trump brought to life. Mark Carney gave the Liberals a chance to win. The backlash against Trump — his disrespect and his tarrifs — brought them home. #ElbowsUp and Canada’s determination to remain itself. My column https://t.co/DMAs7hdaut

Good @GregTSargent: Trump is losing independents who sense he “is engaged in rampant extralegal abuses of power.” They don’t see him “as a no-nonsense executive determined to tackle prices & government inefficiencies.” Democrats shouldn’t fear engaging on his abuses of power.

Trump is getting killed in the public opinion war over his illegal deportations to El Salvador. Both WaPo and NYT polls find broad opposition to these deportations. And majorities of independents disapprove, a key tell. New piece on why this is happening: https://t.co/x6tV3Cyj4s

Don’t worry, David. Dogs are widely loved. They will draw even more affection and sympathy for your segment — which I am sure will be well worth watching, dogs or no dogs.

David Frum @davidfrum

Just pre-recorded an interview on Canadian election for PBS NewsHour from a Toronto hotel room with two loudly snoring Cavalier spaniels on the couch near me. I was assured microphone collected no unwanted noises ... but if not, that's the cause.

Yes, this is worth watching.

So good. Rep. Jake Auchincloss just flipped the entire Fox script on Will Cain in real time & stayed calm & collected the entire time. This is how you go on Fox & deliver the facts and our message to them. A masterclass on communication. Watch & share. https://t.co/AX8yQ53SSQ

In the coming, wide-open conclave, the dividing lines will be over to press forward with the progressive side of Francis’s pontificate, to consolidate, or to roll back. One of the first two is more probable. My chat with @RameshPonnuru & @ktumuty: https://t.co/FyuQDZk5tG
