The Trump administration, along with Elon Musk’s staffers, has jeopardized the security of the C.I.A. by making employee names public—a move both illegal and dangerous. Current officials confirmed that the C.I.A. sent employee names to the OPM, complying with an executive order signed by Trump.

Jimmy Carter’s funeral led me to read the Global 2000 Report his administration released in 1980. It was too alarmist about how things might be in the year 2000, but the discussion on climate change was basically on point. Eerily so. If we’d responded in 1980, think how different things would be.
