-- FASCINATING, via today's Palm Beach Post's front page: "Days before President Trump flies into town for Thanksgiving, one of the world's most expensive yachts, owned by Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, sailed into the Port of Palm Beach Friday afternoon.

"The 533-foot Eclipse, valued at $400 million to $500 million, comes equipped with a pool, helipad, submarine and room for a crew of 92, according to marine websites. It made its way past The Bahamas and docked at 1:15 p.m, taking the slip normally reserved for the Grand Celebration, a cruise ship currently on hurricane-relief duty in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. Originally booked to stay through Dec. 5, the Eclipse may have to leave Dec. 1, as it is being followed by the 644-foot World, billed as 'the largest private residential ship on the planet,' which is scheduled to arrive that day.

"Where will the Eclipse go? According to the MarineTraffic app, she plans to head south on the Intracoastal Waterway, toward downtown West Palm Beach. Note to Transportation Security Administration: That would put a Russian submarine within a mile or so of the winter White House." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=890a6488b3860b288c18bd7493acacbe772a3cc42f4c2981486c9ad7445632853116fa964adf11a722befa7060b88742 

TALKER -- TOM RICKS in FOREIGN POLICY: "Babylon Revisited: Melancholy Thoughts After a Short Trip to Washington, D.C.: As a young reporter in political Washington in the late 1980s, I noticed that there was a type of person who thrived in the driven, transactional environment of the capital." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=890a6488b3860b2826be72057666d7e5945dc062bcdf9efe8cfdf9750ca2a223622cca46899d5cd3920e0199985aa9f3 

HARDSHIP ASSIGNMENT -- JONATHAN MARTIN and ALEX BURNS in Austin: "Republican Governors' 2018 Dilemma: What to Do About Trump?" http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=890a6488b3860b28eb86ef4817e526cf2157818884f67d434c808e88b99392f0d8bb70f83f10b2d52c27acc0d481b7ec 

Good Saturday morning. REALITY FINALLY SETS IN -- "Aides give up on trying to control Trump's tweets," by Annie Karni: "When candidate Donald Trump waged a Twitter war against Khizr Khan, the Gold Star father who rebuked him from the stage of the Democratic National Convention, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie were sent in for a 'tough love talk' about the efficacy of the tweets, two former campaign officials recalled. Controlling potentially damaging tweets was a job left mostly to the legal team in the early days of the administration. Former attorneys Marc Kasowitz and Jay Sekulow gave Trump one simple rule to guide his tweeting habit: don't comment
 online about the Russia investigation. 

"'The message was, tweet about policy, tweet about politics, but don't attack the special counsel,' recalled another former aide. None of the advice seemed to have any lasting effect on a president who views his own impulses as a virtue. And these days, the staff has basically stopped trying: there is no character inhabiting the West Wing who is dispatched to counsel the president when he aims the powerful weapon of his Twitter feed at himself." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=890a6488b3860b289cc6ca627aa76d7ee870a959d3efa28ad8241318d88b25045bf8669cd4560e76cb5d7fb00a89cfa1

NYT'S PETER BAKER -- "In Mocking Franken Over Claims of Sexual Misconduct, Trump Joins a Debate He Started": "[T]he notion that Mr. Trump himself would weigh in given his own history of crude talk about women and the multiple allegations against him surprised many in Washington who thought he could not surprise them anymore. A typical politician with Mr. Trump's history would stay far away from discussing someone else's behavior lest it dredge his own back into the spotlight. But as Mr. Trump has shown repeatedly during his 10-month presidency, he is rarely deterred by conventional political wisdom even as he leaves it to his staff to fend off the cries of hypocrisy. 

"'Like everything else Trump touches, he hijacks it with his chronic dishonesty and childishness,' said Mark Salter, a longtime adviser to Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona. 'The intense, angry and largely ignorant tribalism afflicting our politics predates Trump's arrival on the scene. But he has infused it with a psychopath's inability to accept that social norms apply to him.'" http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=890a6488b3860b283565869beb094bb2423628889ebfd2be298898ebb5abc95ece59e6a7b6bf1b586dce00973c26f4ed 

CLINTON WEIGHS IN ON FRANKEN, MOORE -- "Clinton blasts Trump and Moore over sexual misconduct allegations," by Cristiano Lima: "Hillary Clinton slammed President Donald Trump and Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore on Friday over their alleged sexual misconduct, criticizing them for not 'accepting responsibility' and 'apologizing' for their reported transgressions as Sen. Al Franken did. Clinton said that Franken, who was accused this week of groping a female broadcaster in 2006, acted responsibly by owning up to his actions and publicly apologizing for them - a far cry from the response given by Trump and Moore, she said.

"The former secretary of state and Democratic presidential nominee said that Franken's request to have the Senate ethics panel investigate his sexual misconduct 'is the kind of accountability I'm talking about.' 'I don't hear that from Roy Moore or Donald Trump,' she added during an interview with New York's WABC radio. 'Look at the contrast between Al Franken, accepting responsibility, apologizing, and Roy Moore and Donald Trump, who have done neither.'" http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=890a6488b3860b284cd42417f8b92792d6d226d9da67ca4676de2c4f5cdf0bf565931e122a2cdf4dcd8dcc49c617e999

-- CLINTON ON TRUMP'S PRESIDENCY: "Trump 'has disgraced the office' ... Asked whether there was anything she admired about the Trump's tenure in office thus far, Clinton replied: 'No. The answer is absolutely no.' 'I didn't think he'd be as bad as he turned out to be,' she added."

TRUMP RESPONDS -- @realDonaldTrump at 8:31 a.m.: "Crooked Hillary Clinton is the worst (and biggest) loser of all time. She just can't stop, which is so good for the Republican Party. Hillary, get on with your life and give it another try in three years!"

ABOUT THOSE GILLIBRAND-CLINTON COMMENTS -- "Gillibrand remark on Clinton resignation shocks Democrats," by Gabe Debenedetti in New York: "Kirsten Gillibrand is having a moment, whether she meant to or not. Going where no other prominent Democrat had before on Thursday evening by declaring that Bill Clinton should have resigned the presidency during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, the New York senator and potential 2020 presidential contender yet again found herself the face of a national conversation with the potential to dominate headlines and divide her party. ...

"The longtime Clinton ally's answer to the New York Times question neatly encapsulated how Gillibrand has placed herself front-and-center on the dominant issue of the day, even if it forces a debate her own party is uncomfortable confronting. And it highlighted the political dexterity that her critics and rivals often deride as opportunism: A former conservative Blue Dog House member, Gillibrand has reinvented herself as a leading progressive and face of the Trump resistance ahead of a potential presidential run." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=890a6488b3860b288151cce77cc6855fb1fa3a221f3afe8fb3ff1138c92200a5dd6f58533773b3b6431860285492c9a8

SHOW ME THE MONEY -- "Roy Moore scandal ignites fundraising explosion for Democratic challenger Doug Jones," by NBC News' Alex Seitz-Wald: "The Roy Moore scandal has unleashed a torrent of online donations to Democrat Doug Jones, who was collecting around $250,000 per day in its immediate aftermath ... Democrats may end up in the unlikely situation of dramatically outspending the GOP in the Senate contest in deep red Alabama now that national Republicans have abandoned Moore." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=890a6488b3860b281f2ad0baaef7b4c346a070997103bfbe89ccf6dabee98fa7a002f3e95dc47325d1d839219a917326

PRESIDENT TRUMP WEIGHS IN ON BIG GAME CONTROVERSY -- @realDonaldTrump at 7:47 p.m.: "Put big game trophy decision on hold until such time as I review all conservation facts. Under study for years. Will update soon with Secretary Zinke. Thank you!" Trump also retweeted Greta Van Susteren and Piers Morgan this morning supporting his decision on trophy hunting.

-- STATEMENT FROM INTERIOR SECRETARY RYAN ZINKE: "President Trump and I have talked and both believe that conservation and healthy herds are critical. As a result, in a manner compliant with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, the issuing of permits is being put on hold as the decision is being reversed."

IT'S ALL ABOUT THAT BASE -- "Trump adds five conservatives to list of possible Supreme Court picks," by Reuters' Jim Oliphant and Andrew Chung: "In a move certain to please conservatives, President Donald Trump on Friday added five names to his list of candidates for a prospective U.S. Supreme Court vacancy as he presses ahead with a campaign to move the federal judiciary to the right. Two of them are appellate judges who were nominated by Trump earlier this year and confirmed by the Senate: Amy Coney Barrett and Kevin Newsom. Another, Brett Kavanaugh, sits on the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, long viewed as a stepping-stone to the high court. The others were Britt Grant, a Georgia
 Supreme Court justice, and Patrick Wyrick, a Oklahoma Supreme Court justice." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=890a6488b3860b28af53c190dd65d10d581f92de9959118e71024182e268b62fc6a68be6e39e4c3ffd529762a45b8a2a

SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE -- "Trump still loves polls," by Josh Dawsey and Steven Shepard: "As a TV host, Donald Trump loved ratings. As president, he loves polls-as long as they show him on the upswing. He crowed on Twitter hours after landing back in Washington from his 12-day Asia tour about his Rasmussen number-46 percent-noting it was 'one of the most accurate' in 2016, and decried 'fake news' polls showing his approval in the 30s while also suggesting, with no evidence, that 'some people' think his numbers could be in the 50s. (The Rasmussen poll sank to 42 percent on Friday.)

"Aides in the White House often show Trump polls designed to make him feel good, according to aides and advisers. Usually they're the ones that focus just on voters who cast ballots for him in 2016 or are potential Trump supporters -Trump's base-but occasionally include public polls like Rasmussen, depending on what the numbers say. 'You know, I thought that he'd be a little less in campaign mode than he's been. I think he's never really kind of gotten out of campaign mode and I thought he might,' said New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a Trump adviser. 'I guess it's his judgment that that's what he has to do but that's surprised me a little bit.'" http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=890a6488b3860b283bb3173a3fc42d7f1c3f57fb2651bd9ce6873bc66057cc48fc85574de2a19521da2d3e0ae8d972e6

A PROBLEM FOR REPUBLICANS -- "In towns and cities nationwide, fears of trickle-down effects of federal tax legislation," by WaPo's Renae Merle and Peter Jamison: "[I]n small towns and thriving cities, in Republican- and Democratic-leaning states, local leaders are warning that the $1.5 trillion tax legislation moving through Congress threatens to undermine their ability to raise money for government services, including police and schools. The Republican measures would eliminate or severely curtail taxpayers' ability to lower their federal tax bill by deducting the cost of their state and local taxes. Without that offset, local leaders say, taxpayers will begin to seek relief closer to home,
 potentially making it more difficult to provide basic services." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=890a6488b3860b28af788b6198a014cb1e02d21ceb97522e2beab1b44ae6a35e936c5c089767aabbefa39d4d89cf0049

FOR YOUR RADAR -- AP at 9:01 a.m.: "PARIS (AP) - Lebanon's Hariri says he is returning to his country, confirms he is resigning amid political tensions."

ANOTHER TWIST IN THE RUSSIA INVESTIGATION -- "Congressional aides may have answers on pro-Russia GOP platform change," by Kyle Cheney: "As U.S. investigators probe whether President Donald Trump's campaign orchestrated a Russia-friendly change to the Republican Party platform last summer, three senior Capitol Hill aides - including Speaker Paul Ryan's chief of staff - may have answers about how the episode unfolded. The three staffers, who have not been accused of any wrongdoing, advised the GOP convention's platform committee on foreign policy matters and had front-row seats when a low-profile group of delegates, acting in conjunction with Trump campaign officials, spiked a proposal urging
 a tougher U.S. policy against Russian aggression in Ukraine.

"That change has drawn scrutiny from the House and Senate intelligence committees as they investigate whether any Trump campaign officials cooperated with Russian meddling in the 2016 election. Some witnesses say they expect it to become a topic of interest in special counsel Robert Mueller's parallel criminal probe. Spokespeople for the offices of two of the staffers told POLITICO they have not been in contact with Mueller or his team. But Ryan's top aide, Jonathan Burks, would neither confirm nor deny whether he had heard from the special counsel: 'I'm not going to have any comment,' he said." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=890a6488b3860b28e9f52318a5a49eb297235e63c6b9e900e45b39da81363a6d84b938133c9a8b2fa00ad370321c6c03

-- "Moscow meeting in June 2017 under scrutiny in Trump probe," by AP's Desmond Butler, Mary Clare Jalonick and Eric Tucker: "Earlier this year, a Russian-American lobbyist and another businessman discussed over coffee in Moscow an extraordinary meeting they had attended 12 months earlier: a gathering at Trump Tower with President Donald Trump's son, his son-in-law and his then-campaign chairman. The Moscow meeting in June, which has not been previously disclosed, is now under scrutiny by investigators who want to know why the two men met in the first place and whether there was some effort to get their stories straight about the Trump Tower meeting just weeks before it would become public
 ... Congressional investigators have questioned both men - lobbyist Rinat Akhmetshin and Ike Kaveladze, a business associate of a Moscow-based developer and former Trump business partner - and obtained their text message communications." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=890a6488b3860b2880f9019ec8bd31a6eb9582d4602acb08c09d1e1c75377ff5af9b82c356d0f6d8f026f6d47bd27f12

KEEPING HIS SENSE OF HUMOR -- @charlie_savage: "At Mayflower Hotel, Sessions jokes: 'Is Ambassador Kislyak in the room before I get started? Any Russians? Anybody been to Russia? Got a cousin in Russia?' #FedSoc2017". 30-second video http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=890a6488b3860b282d8abcbca0530e72ee0f9c47dd9f7413de846b562fcbd07db5d736ad2cb63e0861cda24f40ba138e 

HMM -- "U.S. Flagged Russian Firm Kaspersky as Potential Threat as Early as 2004," by WSJ's Paul Sonne: "A Russian cybersecurity firm whose products current and former U.S. officials suspect Moscow has used as a tool for spying was flagged by U.S. military intelligence as a potential security threat as early as 2004, according to new information the Defense Department provided to Congress. ... The DIA 'began producing threat reporting referencing Kaspersky Lab as a threat actor as early as 2004,' according to the email, reviewed by The Wall Street Journal, raising questions about why other federal agencies continued to use the firm's products." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=890a6488b3860b287d044f29aa78222c529f11a22990f809c0d61a250a3c74cf3a3906f9ecd0580c38b21a2ef509167a 

JARED WATCH -- "Kushner failed to disclose outreach from Putin ally to Trump campaign," by NBC News' Ken Dilanian and Carol E. Lee: "President Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, failed to disclose what lawmakers called a 'Russian backdoor overture and dinner invite' involving a banker who has been accused of links to Russian organized crime, three sources familiar with the matter told NBC News. An email chain described Aleksander Torshin, a former senator and deputy head of Russia's central bank who is close to Russian President Vladimir Putin, as wanting Trump to attend an event on the sidelines of a National Rifle Association convention in Louisville, Kentucky, in May
 2016 ... The email also suggests Torshin was seeking to meet with a high-level Trump campaign official during the convention, and that he may have had a message for Trump from Putin ...

"Kushner rebuffed the request after receiving a lengthy email exchange about it between a West Virginia man and Trump campaign aide Rick Dearborn ... Kushner responded to the email by telling Dearborn and the handful of other Trump campaign officials on the email that they should not accept requests from people who pretend to have contacts with foreign officials to aggrandize themselves ... 'Pass on this,' Kushner responded ... 'A lot of people come claiming to carry messages. Very few we are able to verify. For now I think we decline such meetings.'" http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=890a6488b3860b2818a11e43a1e883ea47fc92f848bf2a4216c038d775b855d02715fb91444fbceccf640c83c516cfdc

-- "Kushner attorney fires back at Senate Judiciary Committee," by CNN's Jeremy Herb and Evan Perez: "In a letter Friday to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley of Iowa and ranking Democrat Dianne Feinstein of California, attorney Abbe Lowell wrote that there were no 'missing documents' as the committee has alleged, while criticizing the panel's leaders for going to the media on Thursday with their accusations 'I would have assumed that, if there were any questions about our productions or exchanges, that would have been communicated to me directly before you made this a media event,' Lowell wrote." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=890a6488b3860b284704210c111fb65560c822e693215056159faf13200b7937515e89f0bbf95f3de40b984ebc27d599

PUTTING THE SQUEEZE ON MIDDLE EAST PEACE -- "U.S. puts Palestinians on notice: D.C. office may be shuttered," by AP's Josh Lederman and Matt Lee: "The Trump administration put the Palestinians on notice Friday that it will shutter their office in Washington unless they've entered serious peace talks with Israel, U.S. officials said, potentially giving President Donald Trump more leverage as he seeks an elusive Mideast peace deal. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has determined that the Palestinians ran afoul of an obscure provision in a U.S. law that says the Palestine Liberation Organization's mission must close if the Palestinians try to get the International Criminal Court to prosecute
 Israelis for crimes against Palestinians. A State Department official said that in September, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas crossed that line by calling on the ICC to investigate and prosecute Israelis.

"But the law leaves the president a way out, so Tillerson's declaration doesn't necessarily mean the office will close. Trump now has 90 days to consider whether the Palestinians are in 'direct and meaningful negotiations with Israel.' If Trump determines they are, the Palestinians can keep the office. The official said it was unclear whether the U.S. might close the office before the 90-day period expires, but said the mission remains open at least for now." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=890a6488b3860b28338b2cc0671c7cdcb470994ebb6ee0d35101a96da5947cc8345fddd3d4f0119ca3ea0e42247e78c6

-- "The Mooch is headed to Israel just weeks after 'tone-deaf' Holocaust poll," by Page Six's Kevin Dugan: "A month after Anthony Scaramucci's 'media venture' posted a tasteless poll on the Holocaust, the short-lived White House communications director is taking a four-day trip to Israel, The Post has learned. 'I'll meet everybody,' he told The Post on Friday, hours before he was to take off. 'I'm having dinner with Dave Friedman, the ambassador, who's a great friend of mine.' The one-time hedgie is also heading to Yad Vashem, the Holocaust memorial site in Jerusalem, he said." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=890a6488b3860b28e370383ded107fce2f9d64606604d413ac37f46ec326b64a93b3036da730db030f727c31ece3f753

THE GRINCH -- "CIA nixes holiday party invites for media," by Ali Watkins: "CIA Director Mike Pompeo has opted not to invite reporters to the CIA's annual holiday party this year, ending a years-long streak of inviting the intelligence press corps to the upscale event. The event has historically provided a rare opportunity for reporters to mingle with agency officials who typically shun or avoid them - but that the idea has been nixed by Pompeo, who has been openly critical of the news media, was hardly surprising. ... The party, held in the agency's iconic headquarters lobby, is also a famously bizarre Washington exercise. Reporters, closely minded by the CIA's press staff, are able to
 mingle in the hors d'oeuvres line with station chiefs, foreign partners and occupants of the CIA's executive offices." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=890a6488b3860b285f289fcc137d015a578e655be22e38aaffc4d611bd3f332883d2f1e99d89533a9f28e1807801a043

BRETT TALLEY PROFILE - "Law clerk by day, ghost hunter by night, now Trump's judiciary nominee," by WaPo's Robert O'Harrow Jr.: "Few in memory have been nominated with credentials quite like those of [Brett] Talley, 36, an Alabama native, a political speechwriter, an author of horror books and a fledgling lawyer who has never tried a case. In 2009 and 2010, he was a member of the Tuscaloosa Paranormal Research Group, a volunteer operation that since the early 2000s has held all-night vigils and used infrared cameras, handheld sensors and other devices to search for spectral entities in plantation mansions, abandoned hospitals and other buildings. ... In 2014, when he was a speechwriter on
 Capitol Hill, Talley took a Post reporter ghost hunting in a District cemetery." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=890a6488b3860b280a6177ca2bc1cbcfb524fa0fc9620b8a814dc1b8e5779af973b04cc15943171a2fd8a7a5a5d9c47c

NOT THE ONION - "Candidate for Ohio governor reveals sexual past on Facebook," by AP's Julie Carr Smyth in Columbus: "A state Supreme Court justice running for governor volunteered candid details of his sexual past on Facebook on Friday, saying he was taking a swipe at the 'media frenzy' over sexual misconduct. Democrat William O'Neill's post was immediately attacked as inappropriate and led to calls for his ouster. In it, he wrote that he has been 'sexually intimate with approximately 50 very attractive females," including 'a gorgeous blonde' with whom he 'made passionate love' in a hay loft and a 'drop dead gorgeous red head' from Cleveland." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=890a6488b3860b2810719d2cbf3905c58b0252f20d149599a10e553a4e9fe7cafdef6fd8b4f7e529074986c3dcf9d9e2

WES GOODMAN UPDATE -- "How a conservative group dealt with a fondling charge against a rising GOP star," by WaPo's Kimberly Kindy and Elise Viebeck: "On a fall evening two years ago, donors gathered during a conference at a Ritz-Carlton hotel near Washington to raise funds for a 31-year-old candidate for the Ohio legislature who was a rising star in evangelical politics. Hours later, upstairs in a hotel guest room, an 18-year-old college student who had come to the event with his parents said the candidate unzipped his pants and fondled him in the middle of the night. 

"The frightened teenager fled the room and told his mother and stepfather, who demanded action from the head of the organization hosting the conference ... Tony Perkins, president of the Council for National Policy [and head of the Family Research Council] ... Goodman, 33, abruptly resigned this week after state legislative leaders learned of what the House speaker called 'inappropriate behavior related to his state office.' Local media outlets have reported the behavior involved a consensual sexual encounter with a male visitor in his legislative office." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=890a6488b3860b28f51ae5e5cd57f3bfce61f7d7f7205fe6a3890f6efd78b3b2170677eaf508d2497fcfc4555feeea2c

 DRIP, DRIP, DRIP -- "Rep. Gianforte's account to police on assault of reporter appears to contradict his later apology," by WaPo's Ellie Silverman: "Documents released by law enforcement officials in Montana on Friday show that Greg Gianforte, then the Republican candidate in the state's special congressional election, told police in May that a reporter from the Guardian had grabbed his wrist during a physical altercation at his campaign headquarters, blaming the 'liberal media' for 'trying to make a story.' His statement appears to contradict the apology he later issued to Ben Jacobs, saying the reporter 'did not initiate any physical contact with me,' raising questions about whether the
 congressman was truthful with authorities. Travis Hall, a spokesperson for Gianforte, referred The Washington Post to a statement given to the Associated Press, in which he said the information in the documents was 'nothing new.'" http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=890a6488b3860b28a9cb9644b4f5e8a90a0ba5c5b2c5cbe9984051ac04321a7af715796439c9e5855f44466bc652b1ef

VALLEY TALK -- "The TED talks empire has been grappling with sexual harassment, interviews and internal emails show," by WaPo's Elizabeth Dwoskin and Danielle Paquette: "[B]ehind the scenes, TED owner Chris Anderson and other senior officials [has] been grappling with accusations for much of the year that their own conferences, famed for turning short speeches by leading figures into viral videos, had not been a safe place for women - and that the atmosphere of predatory male behavior was getting worse. At least five people, including a past main stage speaker, told TED officials that they were harassed or groped during the organization's flagship conference in Vancouver in April."

The start-ups that were once the darlings of the industry are facing budget shortfalls and revenue declines as they struggle to survive in an over-saturated market where Google and Facebook lay claim to the vast majority of ad dollars.

-- "The Meaning of Sharp Power," by Christopher Walker and Jessica Ludwig in Foreign Affairs: "Over the past decade, China has spent tens of billions of dollars to shape public opinion and perceptions around the world, employing a diverse toolkit that includes thousands of people-to-people exchanges, wide-ranging cultural activities, the development of media enterprises with global reach, and educational programs. The most notable of these is the ever-expanding network of Confucius Institutes." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=890a6488b3860b28e7b6006bab26d22d9179e3ec367715b5a105011dc82f5c110aa6870256622bd2bc41558c2532f2d7

-- "Avengers in Wrath: Moral Agency and Trauma Prevention for Remote Warriors," by Dave Blair and Karen House on Lawfare - per TheBrowser.com's description: "We think of remote drone pilots as somewhat akin to high-powered video-gamers, wreaking havoc on a screen. And perhaps they are. But they experience their role as something much closer to real-world combat and killing. The imperative is not 'kill or be killed', as it would be in localised combat, but rather, 'kill or someone else will be killed' - and the stress is almost as great. 'A world without your fire support could easily become a world without your comrades.'" http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=890a6488b3860b284e9cbfbb62794effeafdb07daa8c08c26fe90fd95432f0f1f1b7ace820fc7f5090cff1e039c99f56

REMEMBERING BOBBY BAKER - WaPo's Jon Thurber: "Bobby Baker, a protege of future president Lyndon B. Johnson whose career of wealth and privilege came crashing down in an influence-peddling scandal, died Nov. 12 -- his 89th birthday -- in St. Augustine, Fla. Mr. Baker [was] once the most influential staffer in the U.S. Senate ... 'Mr. Baker, I understand you know where the bodies are buried in the Senate. I'd appreciate it if you'd come to my office and talk with me,' the newly elected Sen. Johnson (D-Tex.) said in his first telephone conversation with Mr. Baker in late 1948. Mr. Baker was just 20 at the time and a staffer for the Senate leadership ... His vast knowledge of the operations of
 the Senate and his facility in the art of accommodation - moving pet legislative projects ahead for some senators or helping fulfill the proclivities of others for drink, sex or cash - would make him an invaluable asset to Johnson." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=53dd9a99b881550396c1b871e9eaf32f19ebb89558cec668e25beceb13a5856e81c5a7da78a62cc6e9e55acb5b20eb14
