This week on Rational Security, Quinta and Scott were joined by Lawfare Executive Editor Natalie Orpett and Cyber Fellow Eugenia Lostri to talk through the big national security news waking us up from our long winter\u2019s nap this week, including:

• \u201cRocky Mountain, Bye.\u201d Colorado\u2019s Supreme Court has bid goodbye to former President Donald Trump\u2019s 2024 candidacy (for now, at least), holding in a 4-3 ruling that he is disqualified as a candidate by virtue of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. Will this ruling hold? And where will it go from here?
• \u201cHouthis to Sea, so Rudely, a Wop Bop a Loo Bop a Wop Bam Boom.\u201d Attacks by Yemen-based (and Iran-backed) Houthi rebels have led major shippers to avoid the Red Sea, dealing a serious blow to global commerce. But the United States and a coalition of allies has announced a new maritime effort\u2014the (perhaps too) aptly named Operation Prosperity Guardian\u2014to keep trade flowing. What will this military operation look like? And what will it mean for the global economy?
• \u201cNot So Bueno(s) Aires?\u201d Argentina has a new president in the form of eccentric populist economist and literal dogfather Javier Milei. What does his election mean for the future of the country? We have a live dispatch from Buenos Aires to talk it over.

For object lessons, Quinta recommended Jennifer Egan\u2019s 2022 classic \u201cA Visit From the Goon Squad\u201d and her latest \u201cThe Candy House.\u201d Scott shared his preferred recipe for mulled wine and the secret ingredient: star anise. Natalie shared a wealth of new materials celebrating civil rights leader Bayard Rustin, including a new film Rustin, as well as a recent profile in The New Yorker. And Eugenia gave the people what they want with her endorsement of the Dragon Age series of games.
