Seems bad. Also, you can fairly argue that the NPT was never intended to prevent a nuclear-armed state from attacking a state without nuclear weapons, but that is precisely the sort of action that would undermine the treaty - and we've seen it from multiple nuclear powers recently.

From yesterday's Natsec Daily - a group of former JAGs are urging Congress "to give U.S. military leaders a formal way to challenge orders they believe are unlawful under the Trump administration." They also expressed opposition to the Iran war and the boat strikes. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Election season is kicking off - and the latest issue, which was presumably sent to every household in Fairfax City, is filled with campaign ads for the NIMBY/crypto-conservative candidates. Steve Chang is CEO of the paper!

Very different services - but this reminds me so much of the legal ambiguity that allowed Uber to take off

The Trump administration loves economic nationalism...except when other countries do it in response to the US www.nytimes.com/2026/08/25/w...

A Canadian official also said that the U.S. side also wanted Canada to swiftly roll back a program it began last year to support industries impacted by U.S. tariffs, known as “Buy Canadian,” which prioritizes using domestic products and suppliers for public-sector projects — similar to a policy the United States implements to favor its own industries.

This sort of argument--which I hear a lot from the foreign policy establishment--is fundamentally antidemocratic. "Outside the glare of public recrimination" - so in other words, insulated from public oversight. www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...
