Stevenson’s army, April 9

CNN says US Navy may send ships to Black Sea to support Ukraine.
Every 4 years, intelligence community issues Global Trends report. Latest isn’t very reassuring. Text here.
Tax increases may win because of confusion, Politico says.
Politico also says most members of Congress are pretty mediocre.
But who can figure out the Senate parliamentarian’s ruling?
Biden budget outline due today. Defense may get small boost.
Debate over cyber czar role.
Brilliant analysis by Ezra Klein. He sees collapse of GOP as negotiating partner, generational split among Biden staff,  loss of trust in economists, and Biden’s traditional political instincts [which I saw and admired when I worked for him.]

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).
