Stevenson’s army, May 20

– Since I mentioned Larry Tribe’s opposition several years ago  to using the 14th amendment to solve the debt ceiling problem, I wanted to note his change of mind last week. Of course, good lawyers can argue both sides of a question.

– Even better than Glenn Kessler’s piece on the GOP budget plan is this from NYT.

– London’s RUSI has a big review of Russian operations in Ukraine.

– Politico notes how few reforms suggested by bipartisan legal scholars and intended to limit the excesses of a Trump-like president have actually been adopted.

– Fred Kaplan argues that the nuclear danger is getting worse.
