Stevenson’s army, February 2

– RollCall found an anonymous staffer who writes about daily life on the Hill.
– A foreigner living in Beijing describes life under the coronavirus quarantine.
– FP says Trump has dismantled the interagency system to deal with pandemics.
– WSJ has a tick-tock on the development of the administration’s Mideast plan.
– CNAS says Congress needs to revise its oversight of cybersecurity issues.

I missed Friday’s “miscellany” I think:

– Pompeo calls Chinese Communist Party “central threat of our times.”
– WH says new budget will keep Ukraine aid at current levels.
House passes measures repealing 2002 AUMF and requiring authorization for war with Iran. Will be vetoed if Senate also approves.

– Lawfare writer says Trump is crippling NSC staff.

– UPenn has released its annual ranking of global thinktanks.
– Afghan Special IG has more bad news about Taliban strength.

– FAS has new paper on low yield nukes.
