What does Trump’s announcement mean for 2024 and after?&nbsp;</li><li>“A Mueller Mulligan?” Trump’s announcement that he was once again running for president in turn led Attorney General Merrick Garland to make his own announcement last Friday: that he was <a href=\"https://www.lawfareblog.com/mr-smith-goes-washington\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">appointing another Special Counsel</a> to take over the investigations into Trump’s interference in the 2020 election results and mishandling of classified records. Was this the right move? How will the Special Counsel’s appointment impact the investigations—and Trump’s political future?</li><li>“Pyongyanking Our Chain.” North Korea has <a href=\"https://apnews.com/article/europe-china-united-states-nations-linda-thomas-greenfield-f93525d7eed426d5cf5dea72e97af217\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">launched a new ICBM</a> that it claims can deliver nuclear weapons anywhere in the United States. Should this threat be taken seriously or is it a bluff?

Scott passed along the late Michael Gerson's&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/michael-gerson-saying-goodbye-to-my-child-the-youngster/2013/08/19/6337802e-08dd-11e3-8974-f97ab3b3c677_story.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">essay on dropping his youngest son off at college</a>&nbsp;as a wonderful meditation on parenthood. Katherine shared her passion for soft jazz, and recommended the album \"<a href=\"https://www.discogs.com/release/724788-Mulatu-Astatq%C3%A9-%C3%89thiopiques-4-Ethio-Jazz-Musique-Instrumentale-1969-1974\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Ethiopics, Vol. 4: Ethio Jazz 1969-1974</a>\" as a great dive into Ethiopia's own early 1970s jazz scene. And Hyemin endorsed a show she recently took in at the Brooklyn Academy of Music: \"<a href=\"https://www.bam.org/trojan-women\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Trojan Women</a>,\" which beautifully translated a Greek tragedy through the Korean storytelling form of pansori.</p>","author_name":"The Lawfare Institute"}
