Hello, and welcome back to Tomorrow Will Be Worse!

This has been a very busy week for us national security nerds. I’m writing you this email from the departures hall of the Brussels airport, having just left the German Marshall Fund’s Brussels Forum and awaiting my delayed flight to Madrid for the NATO summit. And I didn’t even make it to the G7 meeting in the Bavarian alps, which was also this week.

After the holiday, I’ll have more for you on everything that this week of fevered foreign policy has wrought, but while I’m in transit, I wanted to drop you a few lines about what is on so many of our minds right now: the end of Roe v. Wade. For more coverage of last week’s Supreme Court decision, check out the recent work from my colleagues Tara Palmeri, on the fallout inside D.C., and Eriq Gardner, on what the ruling means for Wall Street. Also, don’t miss Tina Nguyen’s fascinating look into the tightly-controlled world of Ron DeSantis, who is positioning himself for a 2024 run at the White House. (Spoiler alert: you have to sign an N.D.A. before you work for him.)

There was a bit of private pearl-clutching in Washington when Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted that her fellow party members need to stop fundraising off the repeal of Roe and actually do something. Even Republicans who had spent the last two years peddling the “Dems in disarray” line thought it was a little harsh. “I was surprised at A.O.C. blaming the Democratic leadership,” one G.O.P. aide told me. “I was like, woah.”

But A.O.C. hit on a sentiment that is quietly but widely shared in Washington, especially among Democrats. Even they admit to being in disarray. “What the fuck are we doing?” a Democratic lobbyist fumed. “What the fuck is the D.N.C. doing? I’m on their listserv and I haven’t gotten a fucking thing, have you? Every woman I’ve seen on social media that’s so mad, I’ve seen no link to, hey, here’s where you vote. If this was the G.O.P. side, that whole apparatus would be mobilized. From the Koch brothers to the N.R.A. to big oil, they would be efficiently mobilizing their base right now.” Asked what they expected to see from fellow Democrats, the lobbyist responded, “I think we’re going to see a lot of hashtags, and some rallies, and a lot of useless shit.”...
