February 10 2023
 
Happy Friday from Washington, where senators yesterday questioned Pentagon officials about how the military responded to that Chinese spy balloon. Samantha Aschieris has highlights. The need to outlaw “gender-affirming care” for kids is dramatized by one whistleblower’s description of drugging children, Katrina Trinko writes. On the podcast, Virginia Allen interviews a former Border Patrol chief about the power of the drug cartels. Plus: China outpaces America in missile launchers; the need for Congress to reclaim war powers; and Airbnb discriminates based on politics. On this date in 1962, the Soviet Union releases  American spy plane pilot Gary Powers in exchange for a senior KGB spy caught in the U.S. five years earlier.
