“I have faith in the ideas and the moral systems that we have inherited. What we call ‘the West’ is not an ethnic designation or an elitist country club,” writes @nytdavidbrooks.https://nyti.ms/3KoWVVk 

“You can’t trust industries to provide a reliable, or even honest, assessment of the economic impact of policies that might hurt their bottom line,” writes @paulkrugman.https://nyti.ms/3Kt3ia4 

“I think there’s a lot of things that we can think about doing,” Fiona Hill says to @EzraKlein about Russia and the weapons NATO could be supplying Ukraine. But “we need to do it more quietly.”https://nyti.ms/3JqFcLM 

“If we don’t help Ukraine fend this off, the world is going to be a much darker place ahead,” Fiona Hill says. “This is going to open up all of the kinds of things that we really hoped that we’d moved away from after two world wars in the 20th century.”https://nyti.ms/3ul3jY5 

“The best we may be able to do,” @jbouie writes, “is to restrain judicial review — to place it under greater democratic control and remind our power-hungry Supreme Court that it exists within the constitutional system, not above it.”https://nyti.ms/3JfPKxe 

The great power struggle of today “is not just a political or an economic conflict,” writes @nytdavidbrooks. “It’s a rejection of Western ways of doing things.”https://nyti.ms/3DPVNri 

“China is not liking what it’s seeing in terms of the unity of the West, the bolstering again of solidarity in NATO,” Fiona Hill tells @ezraklein on today’s episode of The Ezra Klein Show.https://nyti.ms/3NYiePN 

“The confirmation of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court on Thursday was as noteworthy for what it didn’t change as for what it did,” @jbouie writes.https://nyti.ms/3jjgDpC 

Naomi Osaka turned around her performance at the Miami Open after a rival’s underestimation of her got under her skin, writes @lindsaycrouse. “Sometimes playing with your back against the wall can be remarkably freeing. The only way out is up.”https://nyti.ms/37nw6lH 

“I’ve lost confidence in our ability to predict where history is headed and in the idea that as nations ‘modernize’ they develop along some predictable line,” writes @nytdavidbrooks.https://nyti.ms/3rcuulI 

Why can’t the Democrats seem to gain traction on issues that have broad support among their voter base? On today’s special Opinion roundtable, host @lourdesgnavarro convenes her Times Opinion colleagues @EzraKlein, @JaneCoaston and @jbouie to discuss.https://nyti.ms/3LMjxzg 

Putin “wants to make this war about the United States, NATO and Russia. He wants this to be a proxy war,” Fiona Hill tells @ezraklein on today’s episode of The Ezra Klein Show.https://nyti.ms/3O875Mr 

Even with the ascent of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, “Americans fighting to defend their voting rights or reproductive rights or the right to live free of discrimination will not find many friends on this Supreme Court,” @jbouie writes.https://nyti.ms/37vvTgs 

We can all learn something from Naomi Osaka’s turnaround at the Miami Open, writes @lindsaycrouse. “It’s up to us to channel the power of the underdog effect and fight back, to prove where we belong.”https://nyti.ms/3NUIf2m 

“I think that this is a resurgence of social conservatives,” @JaneCoaston tells host @lourdesgnavarro on today’s Opinion roundtable where they discuss the most recent controversial G.O.P. bills on transgender rights, gender identity and more.https://nyti.ms/3JisL4D 

“Economic rivalries have now merged with political, moral and other rivalries into one global contest for dominance,” writes @nytdavidbrooks.https://nyti.ms/3v4rVmR 

“From 2001 to 2013, there was a 58 percent increase in women’s heavy drinking and an 84 percent increase in alcohol-use disorder,” writes @ErickaAndersen. “It has an effect on every part of life.”https://nyti.ms/3DQYhWg 

“The current freakout over sex and gender identity in schools is a generational conflict, one driven in large part by older adults’ fear and bafflement at the sexual mores of the young,” writes @michelleinbklyn.https://nyti.ms/3KqGkQU
