NEW: WIRED got IP blocked by the Social Security Administration, among other outlets covering Musk's takeover. Federal workers are now "prohibited" from accessing our reporting on "government-furnished equipment." WaPo, NYT, and MSNBC are likewise banned, sources confirm.

I was stunned in Munich when Vance said Europe's liberal "enemies within" were a bigger threat than Russia and China. Over the last week in Brussels, I lost count of the amount of European officials or diplomats who told me the US is a bigger threat than China. Quite the journey.
