Big Oil spent nearly $100M to get Trump elected in 2024.

Now Trump is returning the favor, giving them advance notice of his Venezuela attack and sending their stocks skyrocketing by promising them control of the country's oil reserves.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

Trump thinks he is the President of the western hemisphere. Donald and Melania Trump, Ivanka, Jared Kushner, Donald Jr., Eric, Barron have all made billions while Trump has been in office. Their assets need to be seized. There should be protests at all of Trump properties, including Mar-a-Lago.

Well if there’s one good thing, we’ve learned over the last few decades that people always embrace the US and democracy after their leaders are removed by the US military. So this should work out — hold on, I’m getting an update …

The two divisions in the US right now are quite clearly “Hey, we’ve got to do our best learn to love other people and love ourselves” and “see that guy? hate that fucking guy! HATE HIM HARDER!” These sprawl over all other cultural and political factions.

Also, as we're doing year end, I realized I will not write something better for 2026 better than I wrote for 2024. (the newsletter's coming back, it just lay fallow because John underestimated the stress of "go from murder trial to showrunning to pilot" in 2024.)

More people need to know this:

In Epstein’s 2008 federal deal, prosecutors agreed not to pursue federal charges against Epstein or any unnamed “potential co-conspirators.”

That functioned as protection for people involved before 2008, similar to immunity.

Let's hope @rbreich.bsky.social is right and that the US will finally take a long, hard, look in the mirror.

As the year draws to a close, a crowd-sourced effort, as well as trackers from advocacy organizations and labor unions, show that the Trump administration has implemented roughly half of the goals laid out in Project 2025.

This Epstein file reports a conversation in which someone said "Donald J. Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein." If true, Trump may have participated in raping a child. This demands immediate bipartisan investigation.

Fox reports that that while many of the redactions to the Epstein Files were made to protect victims’ identities, “the same redaction standards were applied to politically exposed individuals and government officials.”

In other words, DOJ admits that they edited Trump and his pals out.

Trump wouldn't have signed off on releasing the files unless he knew for sure he was fully covered. He would, however, do so if it meant he could use the files to attack his enemies.
