Stevenson’s army, August 18

My SAIS colleague Charlie Stevenson distributes an almost daily news digest of foreign/defense/national security policy to “Stevenson’s army” via Googlegroups. I plan to republish here. If you want to get it directly, follow the instructions below:

Wow! Both the Times and Post have lengthy, front-page articles about Stephen Miller. The NYT has more of his background and consistent efforts to limit immigration. The Post details his efforts in the Trump White House and by clever bureaucratic maneuvering throughout the executive branch.
Check out what states win and which lose congressional seats depending on whether only citizens are counted for redistricting.

Despite some presidential candidate calls for ending the Senate’s legislative filibuster, the Post says it’s not likely.That’s good, in my view.
Meanwhile, note the Russian and Chinese efforts to test South Korean air defenses.

Peter Feaver says US civil-military relations may suffer if people conclude that our war in Afghanistan has been a failure.

To get Stevenson’s army by email, send a blank email (no subject or text in the body) to stevensons-army+subscribe@googlegroups.com. You’ll get an email confirming your join request. Click “Join This Group” and follow the instructions to join. Once you have joined, you can adjust your email delivery preferences (if you want every email or a digest of the emails).
