Stevenson’s army, November 11

– NYT says administration is divided over Ukraine policy, with Gen. Milley urging support for peace talks.-

– WSJ reports on newly released details of Bush and Cheney interviews on 9/11. Here are the interview notes

Dan Drezner asks, “Is Trump Finally Toast?”. And notes this:

The true takeaway from the last few election cycles is that the margins are razor-thin in pivotal races. This means that even if Trump does not command the following he once his, he can take his ball and go home and GOP turnout will take enough of a hit for Republicans to get shellacked. Maybe DeSantis and GOP party elites can buy him off somehow — I could imagine a pardon deal being proffered — but Trump hates looking like a beta male and this deal would do exactly that.

-NYT argues that abortion rights and voter restrictions were salient in states where those issues and candidates were on the ballot, but not in others, like New York.
