Marc Ambinder

Hello, curious people.

I'm a Los Angeles-based writer and television producer.

I blog daily at The Week, Tweet @marcambinder and I write about politics, intelligence and national security for GQ and The Atlantic.

I've also been a consultant for several documentaries, including America's Doomsday Plans, which premiered on the Discovery Channel.

My first book, "The Command," is a concise but comprehensive recent history of the Joint Special Operations Command.

My second book, Deep State, focuses on national security secrets and how they're defined, protected and influence policy.

Through 2011, I was the White House correspondent at National Journal. I've also been chief political consultant to CBS News, politics editor at the Atlantic, and a producer for ABC News.
