The CIA has concluded, with "high confidence", that Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman ordered an assassination operation against Jamal Khashoggi at the Istanbul consulate on 2 October, according to " people familiar with the matter". wapo.st/2qS2jZW v @WashingtonPost

The @nationaljournal policy team put out some great stuff this week, covering everything from the search for alien life in our solar system to the future of federal weed regulations here on Earth, so I wanted to share a few of the highlights.

I've never met Justin, but he deployed to Afghanistan with one of my best friends and he needs help right now. Please consider any donation, no matter how small, if you can. twitter.com/VMNT_tso/statu…

I'm hearing this more and more from tech experts, though they usually include the growing chasm between Europe and the U.S. on data privacy. If things go particularly poorly, we could end up with a separate European internet split off from both the American and Chinese models. twitter.com/CenDemTech/sta…

BREAKING: #UT04 Rep. Mia Love (R) narrowly wins latest batch of votes from Salt Lake Co., narrowing Ben McAdams (D)'s lead form 1,227 to 873. This makes her the favorite to prevail, once more Utah Co. votes are counted.

This story has been 6 months in the making. It started with a question: What happened inside Facebook over the last 3 years, and what did top executives, Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg, do in the wake of crisis after crisis battering the company? nytimes.com/2018/11/14/tec…

Amazing! And a testament to the wisdom of those African nations who are harnessing their unique natural beauty to bring in tourism dollars, rather than exploiting their natural resources for a quick buck. twitter.com/AP_Joan_Lowy/s…

So @SenJohnThune will relinquish his leadership of the Commerce Committee. As a tech reporter, I always appreciated his willingness to answer detailed policy questions thoughtfully. I suspect I'm not alone. Hoping @SenatorWicker continues the tradition, should he take the gavel! twitter.com/argusleader/st…

After sticking it to the tech platforms on sex trafficking, Congress may be coming for Silicon Valley on illicit opioid sales. Can Big Tech get out ahead of the new rules? ($) nationaljournal.com/s/674664/big-t… pic.twitter.com/4J3LGt95Ka

Obviously it's too early to tell if GDPR will seriously impact long-term economic growth in the EU, and I guess the decline could represent the initial compliance costs. Still, not a great sign.

New NBER paper finds "negative post-GDPR effects on EU ventures, relative to their US counterparts." Right-leaning tech researchers (and privately, I'm sure, many at U.S. tech firms) having an I-told-you-so moment. nber.org/papers/w25248?…

There’s a clear editor’s note at the top of this showing this story is from 2012 and the total number of noncitizens was under 100 out of 12m voters but the president’s son is spreading it this way twitter.com/donaldjtrumpjr…

These sort of supposed gotchas are everywhere, but... it’s really not that complicated. (1) Sessions was a bad AG. (2) Firing him purely to facilitate squelching an investigation that has exposed criminal conduct by the president’s allies is also bad. There’s no contradiction. twitter.com/redsteeze/stat…
