Respectfully, as someone who studies polarization’s effects on policy, saying it doesn’t change anything. Acting to put constitutional norms and basic govt function above short term partisan advantage is what shifts outcomes and the longer-term environment.

Possibly I am too gobsmacked by life and that Piers Morgan interview to be at my best on Twitter this morning, but my point is broader. To be willing to risk one's life against the conventions of a society, it helps to be... unconventional.

Other than sending commandos to destroy Norwegian heavy water facility, providing advanced atomic research to Manhattan Project, sending scientists to Los Alamos to ensure Allies got the Bomb first, and his postwar development of Britain’s independent deterrent, Trumps right.

To be willing to go against the authorities, to put at risk your reputation, livelihood, quite possibly life, as well as that of your family, dissidents have to be more driven internally than most of us. Call it unconventional, quirky, superstitious, whatever.

Except for the part about the Nazis trying to build a nuke. And he was PM in the 50s, too, when the nuclear race b/w USSR and US/UK was well underway.

New: Per a statement from Senator Tim Kaine's office, the Dept of Energy approved the transfer of nuclear tech expertise to Saudi Arabia beginning in December of 2017, including two approvals after the murder of Khashoggi.

Ditto. And have not yet dealt with re-doing the basement because waiting to see if repairs actually work.

Excellent thread on unfolding events in Sudan, where the armed troops are shooting protesters on the streets of Khartoum today in an effort to break the pro-democracy movement. Our story, which is updating through the day

1. Read this. 2. Extra points if you had "Monroe Doctrine" as a key intra-GOP disagreement for 2019.

How seriously does the rest of the world take Trump? Well, here’s how Sky News is advertising his UK state visit. Watch.

'Russia has withdrawn key defense advisers from Venezuela, an embarrassment for President Nicolás Maduro as Moscow weighs the leader’s political and economic resilience against growing U.S. pressure.'

So the Trump Administrations sees trade talks as a way to reshape the social policy of a close ally? That's interesting.

I’m told today, by a State Department official familiar with the issue, that the department’s human rights bureau (known as DRL) was not told about these plans ahead of time. Total surprise.

Depends who’s defining national security concerns, doesn’t it, as we see with what has brilliantly christened “rage tariffs.”

“the tactical advantages of prioritizing national security concerns in economic policymaking come with the longer-term strategic consequence of undermining confidence in free markets.” Is this inevitably true, or only true b/c of way Trump Admin is going about it?

A very interesting piece, different from the usual decoupling take in posing the choice as between US security interests and the desire to see China liberalize. Not how I’d frame it, but interesting all the same.
