The Horrible Pete Hegseth (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Emma Ashford makes the case that everyone underestimated how influential Pete Hegseth would be in the Trump administration:But in thinking through predictions about the second Trump administration, I’m struck that practically everybody got Pete Hegseth wrong. Is there a single person who predicted that the secretary of defense would become one of the most influential—potentially even the most effective—senior officials within the Trump administration?There was a broad
The Last U.S. War in the Middle East? (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Read excerpt
