Stevenson’s army, November 19

I’m traveling so missed some Stevenson’s army, but here it is for today:

– After a record-breaking speech by  leader McCarthy, the House is expected to vote on the domestic programs bill. Meanwhile, the Senate can’t get a UC on NDAA because various Senators want their amendments to be included.

– Promised Hill staff pay raises haven’t come.

– NYT says Iranian missile attack on US forces was in retaliation for Israeli airstrikes.

– FP says US has put more troops in Taiwan.

– Axios says US is ignoring religious liberty report’s criticism of India.

– A Saudi intelligence official has written a memoir.

-And David Brooks sees a pattern in young conservative thinking.

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).
