When Congress conducts oversight over defense policy, whom does it call to testify? In @TXNatSecReview , @jblankshain, @DerekSReveron, & I present a new dataset of over 6,500 witness appearances between 1975 & 2016 to explore how Congress exercises control over the military (1/7)
The first article of Volume 8, Issue 2 is here! Read about what Blankshain (@jblankshain), Milonopoulos (@MilonopoulosT), and Reveron (@DerekSReveron) call "Congress’s underappreciated role in exercising civilian control over the armed forces." tnsr.org/2025/03/called-to-t…
Even if the frequency of testimony by military officers has not changed, hearings have become politically charged settings. The enduring presence of officers at hearings raises the risk that uniformed personnel could be lured into partisan waters during routine testimony (6/7)
To counter these risks, politically appointed civilians must be willing to step in to take questions that will prevent military officers from being caught in partisan crossfire & help insulate them from partisan politics when called to testify. (7/7) tnsr.org/2025/03/called-to-t…

How did foreign policy shape the U.S. election? Jeff Friedman and I have been crunching the numbers for @ForeignAffairs: foreignaffairs.com/united-st…

Delighted to share a new article in @ForeignAffairs by me and Jeff Friedman challenging the idea that presidential elections are all about "the economy, stupid." In 2024, as in the past, foreign policy is shaping the campaign - and vice versa: foreignaffairs.com/united-st…

In the next issue of @ForeignAffairs, I argue that crises can cross red lines and climb the escalation ladder, but leaders typically don’t stumble into inadvertent wars that they do not intend to fight. (1/11)

🚨The history of the SUIT🚨
🧤 What is the origin of this most venerable of fashions - so long the official attire of men in Britain, Europe and the Western World?
💰 Traditionally the uniform of the elites and an indicator of class, its purpose and design has evolved over time.
🔥 Remarkably, however, the exact moment of its invention is known when, in the wake of the Great Fire of London, Charles II announced a curious new design for his nobles.
🦚 From this moment onwards the suit has been woven into some of the great ideological movements, moments, and characters of history.
🌈 Today, Tom and Dominic divulge the glamorous, colourful and often adventurous history of the suit and Savile Row. Featuring royal fashion feuds, the Napoleonic Wars, dastardly Highwaymen and Pirates; dandified Beau Brummell, and some of the suit’s most famous contemporary champions…
