Episode Notes:

Recorded shortly after the recent U.S. midterm election, Ankit is joined for the first time by Erin Dumbacher, Stanton Nuclear Security Senior Fellow and Director of the Defense and National Security Program at the Council on Foreign Relations. Together, they work through what a newly emboldened Congress could mean for nuclear policy, from the Saudi 123 agreement and the war with Iran to arms control with Russia and China, Golden Dome, theater nuclear forces, and the prospect of nuclear testing. They weigh the tools Congress actually has to steer foreign policy, how allies are reading the result, and where the real constraints lie.
