Hello, and welcome back to The Best & The Brightest, your daily politics letter from Puck—and your regular Tuesday installment of foreign policy and national security from me. Before we get started, I wanted to let you know that, starting next week, I’ll be on book leave for all of June. After getting derailed by the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, I’ll be (finally) finishing up Motherland and forking over a complete draft to my publisher. Until then, please enjoy the work of my talented colleagues. I hope—I know—that you’ll use this opportunity to discover topics and writers you didn’t know you needed that will help you better understand the machinations of #thistown. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it!
