Stevenson’s army, February 1

Dan Drezner has a good analysis of how Biden’s presidency is different from Trump’s — notably the refusal to comment or act on a wide range of newsworthy topics.
WSJ notes that the Treasury-run CFIUS is broadening its investigations of Chinese investments in US startups. [Be advised: CFIUS is an important part of US foreign economic policy.]
 WSJ also reports that the CIA is changing its recruitment efforts to attract millennials.
So far so good for SecState Blinken. [But honeymoons always end.]
NYT says GOP can recapture House in 2022 just by normal gerrymandering.
NYT has long long tick-tock on Trump’s efforts to overturn election.
Axios says Trump’s trade war failed miserably.

My SAIS colleague Charlie Stevenson distributes this almost daily news digest of foreign/defense/national security policy to “Stevenson’s army” via Googlegroups. I plan to republish here. 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).
