– Are the Russians conducting microwave attacks against Americans? Or is that implausible?

– Are retired officer attacks on Biden beyond the pale?

– WSJ says US tariffs have sharply cut US imports from China

– CFR has new backgrounder on Taiwan.

– Lawfare writer doubts private sector owns 85% of US critical infrastructure
