How the President Can Shape the Role and Oversight of the National Cyber DirectorFormer defense secretary Ash Carter shakes hands with then-Vice President Joe Biden after meeting with the National Security Council.

President Biden’s May executive order on cybersecurity deferred defining the national cyber director’s role until after his office was up and running. How could the president shape the position? Specifically, how do the national cyber director’s legal authorities aff... read more

The BBC News Channel's been conducting lots of interviews today about the government's new drugs policy. Even Mark Easton has been deployed. Oddly Kit Malthouse, the minister responsible for it, appeared on *BBC Breakfast* this morning and Sally Nugent didn't ask him a single question about that. When he finally managed to steer the conversation onto the topic all she could ask him about was drug use in the Houses of Parliament.
