My book Becoming Kim Jong Un (@penguinrandom 2020) ended the story in 2019. I wrote this essay for @ForeignAffairs to cover 2020-2025 to show how Kim mastered Covid, China, and geopolitics.

“In the past, Washington has been able to work with Beijing and Moscow, albeit to a limited extent, to restrain Pyongyang and prevent a military confrontation,” writes @junghpak1. “But today, the North Korea challenge is both more formidable and more durable.” fam.ag/4vWVDZU

Minnesota Republican state senator 👇 from south suburbs.
We’re long overdue for a tactical pause. Leaders at all levels need to assess the current situation for what it is, not what they want it to be. Take the temperature & rhetoric down, allow for a reset, de-escalate, adjust tactics, realign with the core mission - keeping us safe.

Love this profile of the Seattle-area man who managed buildings for biotech firms into his 50s when, seeking more, he was inspired to follow in the footsteps of one the area's last typewriter repairmen. Echoes of Charles D'Ambrosio's great Seattle short story, "Drummond & Son." nytimes.com/interactive/2025…

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz boasts about the state's universal pre-K program. Except, well, it doesn't have universal preschool. Nice work from @michellemngriff and @MNReformer holding him to account. minnesotareformer.com/briefs…

Jim Heintz, who always manages to be both thoughtful and funny, on going from the Ohio Rust Belt to two decades as a foreign correspondent in Moscow. Now, if he's lucky, he may become a reasonable facsimilie of an Estonian. thefp.com/p/ancient-wisdom-i…

Great piece from Andy Mannix at the @StarTribune, with White House official openly texting about potential military deployments, internal politics and FBI firings. Plus I learned a new insult: douche canoe. startribune.com/trump-offici…

In a world where right-wing populist movements have become the norm in so many countries, the great @raulgaab looks at a non-violent student uprising shaking Serbia, and how, just maybe, it could show the world a different political path. youtube.com/watch?v=h3t4EiRY…

She was adopted from Brazil at 11, a girl dreaming of America. But her new father abused her. Her life spiraled — violence, crime, mental illness. Decades later, ICE detained her. She was, it turned out, a woman without a country. From @ByTimSullivan & me: apnews.com/article/trump-imm…
