My latest thoughts on Israel's challenges in @ForeignPolicy: foreignpolicy.com/2026/10/30…

I led AI policy in the Biden administration, and my colleague @tantumscollins was Director for Technology on the National Security Council. Our book on AI and national security -- THE BITTER STRUGGLE -- comes out in 11 days. @tylercowen said it “will become the standard source” on the history of the China chip bans and Biden-era AI policy. @crmiller1 said it is “essential reading for understanding how AI will impact geopolitics and how the great powers are shaping AI.”
We wrote this book because the decisions shaping AI -- and the future for all of us -- are too important to only be debated behind closed doors. If you're planning on reading it, pre-ordering is one of the best ways to help us bring this conversation to a broader audience.

New report with my co-author @rileydmccabe on AI concerns as a source of terrorism: csis.org/analysis/will-ai-co…
Excited to say that my new book, American Pogroms: How Forgotten Massacres Shape America, is now out.
Inspired by work done by important institutions such as @eji_org and @TulsaMassacre and path-breaking scholars like Beth Lew-WIlliams, Jean Pfaelzer, and Cameron McWhirter, among many others
Apparently, someone is using my identity and requesting interviews, pretending to be a reporter for @ForeignPolicy. To be clear, this is not me and, while I love writing for Foreign Policy, I do not work there. So do not take this interview and otherwise exercise caution.
Exactly -- there will be outrageous claims without little support, but the goal is clearly intimidation (with Patel seeking to score some points with Trump)

"For too long, the United States and Europe have turned a blind eye to Russia's "ghost fleet" of oil tankers, relying on often late and feckless sanctions to counter Moscow’s illicit economic lifeline," writes @BenjamJensen.

I put together a post on "Islamic State-Related Arrests In the U.S. In 2024" to hopefully provide some context and show that the New Orleans attack fits with a higher attack plot tempo we saw in 2024 vs. 2023 and with a broader ex-ops picture globally.

"US foreign policy in the region could change on a dime... #Trump has already stated the US should have “nothing to do” with #Syria’s future. But to do nothing would give #ISIS a chance to surge once again."
