The Gaia mission has triggered major developments in the field of Galactic dynamics in recent years, which we discuss in this review. The structure and kinematics of all Galactic components - disc, bar/bulge and halo - are now mapped in great detail not only in the Solar neighbourhood, but across a large part of the Milky Way. The dramatic improvements in the coverage and precision of observations revealed various disequilibrium processes, such as perturbations in the Galactic disc and the deformations of the outer halo, which are partly attributed to the interaction with satellite galaxies. The knowledge of the gravitational potential at all scales has also advanced considerably, but we are still far from having a consistent view on the key properties of the Galaxy, such as the bar pattern speed or the mass profile and shape of the dark halo. The complexity and interplay of several dynamical processes makes the interpretation of observational data challenging, and it is fair to say that more theoretical effort is needed to fully reap the fruit of the Gaia revolution.

Signatures of a Tidally Induced Spiral Arm at the Anticenter of the Milky Way and a Kinematically Extended Anticenter Stream Using DESI DR2
Kinematics of 61,883 DESI stars indicate the Monoceros Ring is a Sagittarius-induced, corotating spiral arm with passage times 0.25 and 1.10 Gyr ago, and the Anticenter Stream is part of a broader vertical disk wave.

ChemZz I: Comparing Oxygen and Iron Abundance Patterns in the Milky Way, the Local Group and Cosmic Noon
After placing local and distant galaxy abundances on a common scale, the authors find Milky Way high-alpha disc patterns at z~2-3, evidence for alpha-bimodality in M31, and place the MW and GSE on the z~3 mass-metalli...

Deep Potential: Recovering the gravitational potential and local pattern speed in the solar neighborhood with GDR3 using normalizing flows
Using normalizing flows and a neural network on Gaia DR3 data, the authors recover a local pattern speed of 28.2 km/s/kpc and a total matter density of 0.086 solar masses per cubic parsec within 1 kpc of the Sun.

On the chaos induced by the Galactic bar on the orbits of nearby halo stars
More than half of nearby halo stars are chaotic due to the Galactic bar, blurring substructure identifications in (E,Lz,L⊥) space and favoring the Jacobi energy.

The Milky Way - Large Magellanic Cloud Interaction with Simulation Based Inference
Simulation-based inference on outer-halo star velocities gives a Milky Way reflex speed of 26.4 km/s and an LMC enclosed mass of 9.2×10^10 solar masses within 50 kpc.

CNN-Derived Elemental Abundances of LAMOST DR10 Giants: Implications for Galactic Substructures
A CNN transfers APOGEE abundance labels to 1.1 million LAMOST giants, producing a public catalog and a tentative chemical classification of the PG1 and PG2 substructures.

Vertical Structure and Dynamics of a Galactic Disk
A review of a multi-component disk plus halo model, arguing that gas and dark matter vertically confine the stellar disk, producing steeper-than-sech^2 profiles and flaring.
