Tomorrow morning, we will be dropping a ~12,000 word story on Paul Pressler, the alleged sexual predator who remade the Southern Baptist Convention and helped ordain the marriage between the GOP and white evangelical voters. There is *a lot* in there and I hope you'll read it.

Reposting this as it seems to be the kind of damning, documented narrative of Trump’s close relationship with Epstein that so many have clamored for, and I’m not sure why it’s not getting attention. Gift link. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/u...

Trump’s worldview is one of winners and losers. Always has been. His new National Security Strategy picks Russia, China, authoritarians, his friends and his family as the winners. Do you know who Trump decided the losers are? You and your family and our safety.

Louisiana — the red state that Mike Johnson nominally represents — has the second highest percentage of residents enrolled in SNAP in the nation. They’re pushing this fantasy about these being “Democrat programs” used only in blue states but that’s a PR fantasy divorced from reality.
Mike Johnson: "These blue states have abused the SNAP program just like they've abused Medicaid and so many other government programs."

The evidence is now in. The explosive growth in sports gambling is bad for sports, and it has proved to be bad for the millions of Americans who gamble past the point of prudence and directly to the point of pain. The sports gambling revolution needs more regulation. It may even need termination.

Bannon and Miller and so forth like to talk about all the history they read. The Nazis lasted so long because they spent money!
The strength of modern authoritarian regimes is almost completely centered around making sure nothing disrupts their core constituencies (pensioners, security services, veterans etc) from getting their benefits/checks.
