In Seven Crashes: The Economic Crises That Shaped Globalization (Yale UP, 2023), distinguished economic historian Harold James offers a fresh perspective on the past two centuries of globalization and the pivotal moments that shaped it. James analyzes seven major economic crises that occurred over this period, including the late 1840s, the simultaneous stock market shocks of 1873, the First World War years, the Great Depression era, the 1970s, the Global Financial Crisis of 2007-2008, and most recently the Covid-19 crisis. Through his insightful analysis, he illustrates how some of these crises contributed to increased cross-border integration of labor, goods, and capital markets, while others resulted in significant deglobalization. James classifies the crises into two categories: those caused by shortages and those driven by demand. He explains how shortages have led to greater globalization as markets expanded and producers innovated to increase supply, as evidenced by events such as the First World War and the oil shocks of the 1970s. In contrast, demand-driven crises, such as those that caused the Great Depression and the Global Financial Crisis of 2007-2008, have typically led to international trade contraction and decreased globalization, often accompanied by widespread skepticism of governments. To support his findings, James examines the writings of key observers who shaped our understanding of each crisis, including Karl Marx in 1848, Stanley Jevons, Léon Walras, and Carl Menger in the 1870s, German Treasury Secretary Karl Helfferich in the First World War, John Maynard Keynes in the Great Depression, Milton Friedman and Friedrich Hayek in the 1970s, Ben Bernanke in 2008, and Larry Summers and Raj Chetty in 2020. Overall, James' work provides an insightful and thought-provoking analysis of the relationship between economic crises and globalization over the past two centuries, and sheds light on the potential trajectory of future economic developments.

How did one economist cause the 2008 financial crisis, get hired to fix it, protect his corrupt mate whilst Harvard paid millions in settlements, suggest women might be genetically inferior at science, and still remain one of the most powerful figures in American economics for decades?In this episode of History's Greatest Idiots, we explore the spectacular career of Lawrence Henry Summers, the man who failed upwards for nearly five decades, leaving economic destruction, hurt feelings, and dodgy friendships in his wake. This is the story of how brilliant people can be catastrophically wrong about everything whilst sounding extremely clever, and how it all came crashing down in November 2025 when emails revealed he'd been using a high-profile buddy as his personal dating coach.Part one of this epic two-part series covers Larry's rise from golden child to economic disaster architect.The Golden Child: How Larry was born into economics royalty (both parents were economics professors, two uncles won Nobel Prizes) The three-year-old who argued with everyone and drove his mother crazy Writing to his Nobel Prize-winning uncle at age 13 to solve maths problems (the audacity!) Skipping grades, enrolling at MIT at 16, and becoming one of Harvard's youngest tenured professors at 28 Winning every major economics award before age 40 (perhaps a bit too confident)The Clinton Years: How to Deregulate an Economy and Call It Progress: The infamous 1991 "toxic memo" suggesting dumping pollution on poor countries (economics or eugenics with dollar signs?) Championing the repeal of Glass-Steagall in 1999, removing Depression-era banking protections Crushing Brooksley Born's attempts to regulate financial derivatives Pushing through the Commodity Futures Modernization Act, banning regulation of derivatives (what could go wrong?) His fundamental disagreements with Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz, who was actually correct about regulation The Russia disaster: "shock therapy" privatization that created oligarchs, sent poverty from 2% to 40%, and caused a 43% increase in male death rates Why Summers, like most economists, only thought five years ahead instead of 15, 20, or 30 yearsLarry Goes to Harvard (And Everything Goes Wrong Again): Becoming Harvard's 27th President in 2001 and lasting exactly five years (one of the shortest tenures in modern history) The Cornel West affair: calling a renowned philosopher's hip-hop album an "embarrassment" and sparking an exodus to Princeton The Andrei Shleifer scandal: protecting his corrupt protégé from the Russia privatization disaster whilst Harvard paid a record $26.5 million settlement January 2005: suggesting women are underrepresented in science because they don't want to work hard enough and might be genetically inferior (listing discrimination third) MIT biologist Nancy Hopkins feeling physically ill and walking out of his speech The faculty vote of no confidence (218 to 185) and his eventual resignation in February 2006 Why being the smartest person in the room means you should be able to read the bloody roomThis is only part one. In part two, Larry gets to witness the worldwide economic collapse caused by his deregulation policies, gets parachuted in by Obama to help fix the problems he created, and we reveal the massive 2025 scandal that ultimately ruined his already damaged legacy.https://www.patreon.com/HistorysGreatestIdiotshttps://www.instagram.com/historysgreatestidiotshttps://buymeacoffee.com/historysgreatestidiotsArtist: Sarah Cheyhttps://www.fiverr.com/sarahchey

El Departamento de Justicia ha publicado en los últimos días dos lotes de documentos relacionados con las investigaciones federales sobre Jeffrey Epstein, el financiero condenado por delitos sexuales que se suicidó en prisión en 2019. Esta liberación de documentos confidenciales, en los que hay miles de páginas, fotografías y correos electrónicos, responden a una ley aprobada por el Congreso en noviembre de este año, que obliga al Departamento de Justicia a hacer públicos la mayoría de los registros no clasificados sobre Epstein y su cómplice Ghislaine Maxwell. El primer lote apareció el viernes pasado y consta de más de 13.000 archivos. El segundo se hizo público el martes con otro dossier de casi 30.000 páginas. En los archivos encontramos los indicios incautados por el FBI en las tres residencias de Epstein (Nueva York, Palm Beach y su isla privada en las Islas Vírgenes), registros de vuelos de su jet privado, entrevistas del FBI con víctimas, varias versiones de su testamento y materiales sobre sus últimos días en prisión. Entre los elementos destacados hay fotografías (muchas ya conocidas de procesos judiciales previos) que muestran a Epstein con figuras prominentes como Bill Clinton, un pasaporte austriaco falso caducado en 1987 y versiones del testamento donde nombra como posibles albaceas a personas como Larry Summers y Jes Staley. También figura una carta, que supuestamente Epstein envió desde la cárcel al delincuente sexual Larry Nassar, mencionando a Trump. Según el FBI esta carta es falsa. Los documentos contienen numerosas referencias a Donald Trump, especialmente recortes de prensa y registros de vuelos de los años 90. Un correo de un fiscal federal del año 2020 indica que Trump voló en el avión de Epstein al menos ocho veces entre 1993 y 1996, algunas con Maxwell y varias mujeres jóvenes. Estos viajes ya se conocieron durante el juicio de Maxwell hace cinco años. El Departamento de Justicia ha insistido en que algunas acusaciones contra Trump son infundadas, y el presidente ha negado que cometiese ilegalidad alguna. También ha recordado que que cortó la relación con Epstein antes de su primera detención en 2006. La publicación ha generado críticas de ambos partidos por la cantidad de tachaduras que presentan los documentos y el hecho de que la liberación sea parcial. Esto consideran que es un incumplimiento de la ley. Los Demócratas y las víctimas de Epstein exigen más detalles y que se presente el material sin censura de ningún tipo. El Departamento de Justicia ha prometido seguir liberando documentos en las próximas fechas. Aunque de esta documentación no se extraen pruebas contra nadie que no sea el propio Epstein o Maxwell, que ya está en la cárcel, las tachaduras alimentan las especulaciones. Mantienen además el caso como un foco candente de división, especialmente dentro del movimiento MAGA, que es donde con más devoción se ha vivido el escándalo Epstein desde sus inicios.

Recently unsealed Department of Justice records show that **Jeffrey Epstein named Jes Staley and Larry Summers as potential executors in earlier draft versions of his estate planning documents from the 2010s, though neither appeared in the final will he signed in 2019. According to the newly released materials under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, Staley first appeared in a 2012 draft as a “successor executor” and was later listed as a full executor in versions from 2013 and 2014, while Summers was named a successor executor in a 2014 revision. These designations would have given both men significant authority over Epstein's vast estate if the primary executors were unable or unwilling to serve — a striking inclusion given their high public profiles. However, in the final will drafted shortly before Epstein's death, both men were removed and are absent from the 2019 document that ultimately governs the estate.Oh these are the guys we're supposed to tiptoe around for? These are the delicate reputations the system keeps clearing its throat to protect? A Wall Street lifer who can't explain his Epstein emails without tripping over himself, and an academic power broker who spent years pretending his association with Epstein was some innocent clerical error? These are the men whose good names require sealed files, careful wording, and institutional panic? Give me a break. If the truth about a dead sex trafficker's will is enough to embarrass you, then maybe the embarrassment isn't the problem — maybe it's the résumé. The idea that the public must be shielded from learning that Jeffrey Epstein trusted these guys with his estate isn't discretion, it's comedy. And not even good comedy — it's the kind that only plays in boardrooms where accountability has been dead longer than Epstein himself.to conact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein named Larry Summers, Jes Staley as estate executors in draft wills | New York Post

C dans l'air du 20 décembre 2025 - Affaire Epstein : des documents caviardés pour protéger Trump ?Cette fois, c'est en ligne. Quelque 3 965 documents judiciaires relatifs à l'affaire du criminel sexuel Jeffrey Epstein ont été rendus publics hier par le ministère de la justice américain.Une loi adoptée par le Congrès en novembre imposait au gouvernement de publier l'intégralité des documents non classifiés en sa possession au plus tard hier. Or, seule une partie de ces pièces a été révélée. Le processus se fera finalement sur plusieurs semaines.Ces documents issus de l'enquête sur l'influent financier, mort en prison en 2019, sont censés faire la lumière sur ses liens avec des figures du monde des affaires, du spectacle ou de la politique, et notamment avec l'actuel président des Etats-Unis, Donald Trump.Le locataire de la Maison-Blanche est plus que jamais sous pression. D'autant que publication de ces premiers fichiers renforce la controverse dont il est l'objet. La montagne d'informations a en effet été partiellement expurgée. Des pages entières ont été caviardées. Des omissions ont été effectuées pour protéger les victimes et les enquêtes en cours, comme celles sur les liens d'Epstein avec l'ancien président Bill Clinton et l'ex-directeur de Harvard, Larry Summers, mais aussi pour des questions de « sécurité nationale ». Cela confère au ministère de la Justice une marge de manœuvre illimitée sur le choix de ce qui est divulgué.« Ce n'est rien d'autre qu'une opération de camouflage pour protéger Donald Trump de son passé peu reluisant », a tonné le chef des sénateurs démocrates, Chuck Schumer, accusant le gouvernement de « tout faire pour cacher la vérité ».L'affaire Epstein n'est pas la seule pour laquelle le comportement du milliardaire est pointé du doigt. Déjà reconnu responsable d'agression sexuelle, auteur de nombreux propos sexistes et méprisants depuis des années, le président des Etats-Unis est critiqué pour son comportement inapproprié voire totalement délictuel envers les femmes. Lui s'en tient toujours à une stratégie de déni.Que contiennent les fichiers du dossier Epstein rendus publics hier ?Que Donald Trump savait-il de ce scandale de corruption et d'esclavagisme sexuel sur mineur ?Comment est-il parvenu à faire carrière en politique malgré les accusations et les condamnations dont il est l'objet ?Nos experts :- Corentin SELLIN - Historien spécialiste des États-Unis - Chroniqueur - « Les Jours »- Lucas MENGET - Grand reporter- Nicolas BARRÉ - Directeur de la rédaction - « Politico »- Camille GUTTIN - Reporter – Correspondante à Washington de 2022 à 2025- Sonia DRIDI - Correspondante aux Etats-Unis – LCI et France 24 (Duplex à Washington)
Congressional Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released a set of 19 photos from a larger trove of over 95,000 images obtained from Jeffrey Epstein's estate, aiming to shed light on his social connections. The photos include well-known figures such as President Donald Trump, former President Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Steve Bannon, Larry Summers, Woody Allen, and Prince Andrew, often shown in social settings with Epstein or others; some images show Trump with unidentified women whose faces are redacted and others depict social scenes on jets or at events. None of the released photos directly show criminal acts, and their context and dates are not provided, but Democrats argue they raise important questions about Epstein's associations with powerful individuals and call for fuller transparency as part of a broader investigation. The release is part of an ongoing effort by lawmakers to review and make public materials from Epstein's estate and related government files.The photo release has quickly become political: **House Democrats say the images underscore a need to end what they call a “cover-up” and demand that the Department of Justice release the full set of Epstein files under the recently passed Epstein Files Transparency Act, which requires federal release of related documents by a mid-December deadline. Republicans and White House officials have criticized the release as selective and politically motivated, accusing Democrats of cherry-picking photos to create a narrative rather than present an objective record, and emphasizing that the photos do not demonstrate wrongdoing by anyone pictured. The disclosures have reignited public debate over Epstein's network and the extent of powerful people's associations with him, even as broader document releases and further image batches are expected in the coming weeks.to contact me:Disturbing photo on Epstein's desk sparks horror over 'incapacitated young girl passed out on couch' | Daily Mail Online
JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN for this & more Astro News You Can Use! @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking which drops today, December 12!This podcast reviews the energies inherent in the current monthly lunar cycle begun at the Scorpio New Moon opposite Uranus retrograde in Taurus on November 19/20, depending on your time zone. And how secrets released since have served to empower us as we saw more revealed since.And how now--since Neptune stationed direct December 10, December 11's “crisis in consciousness” waning third quarter monthly lunar square of the Virgo Moon to the Sagittarius Sun, & Mercury's reentrance into Sagittarius December 11—have revealed the tension between factually justifying wide ranging “wishful thinking” strategies that lack realistically detailed rationales.As we wax now toward the exact Mars/Neptune square on December 14, we might be mindful that this energy mimics the U.S. Sibly's chart natal Mars/Neptune square. And how that aspect conjures up images of the recently announced National Security Strategy (NSS) of U.S. withdrawal from NATO & alignment in general with former European allies.Reminiscent of the 1823 Monroe Doctrine, this newly announced NSS policy seeks to bring the U.S. back into an era of concern for western hemisphere dominance while reducing its formerly stated objective of allying with its European partners since WWII. In other words, the natal U.S. Mars/Neptune relates to the belief that exploration & inhabitation of the Americas included endless possibilities.That this is part of the waxing approximate 36-year synodic cycle which began when Saturn conjoined with Pluto in Capricorn on January 12, 2020, should be no surprise. That's because this cycle often heralds the beginning a new world order. In 1947's post WWII era, this cycle begun in Leo led to the formation of NATO & the U.S.'s commitment to partner with European nations to help maintain their future security.In hindsight now, the Saturn/Pluto cycle in Libra begun in late 1982 & early 1983 reflected the growing global concern with government austerity measures (read: Saturn-ruled Capricorn's archetypal association with financial success.) That such policies were adopted during the Reagan & Thatcher years in tandem in the U.S. & U.K. fiscal “starve the beast” governmental deregulation seems obvious now. This Saturn/Pluto cycle also foresaw the dissolution of the USSR in 1989 after the new Saturn/Neptune cycle began--an event that factored strongly into the reformation of a new international global alignment since putting America at the forefront of global politics. MERCURY IN SAGITTARIUS: NEWS, NEWS, & MORE NEWS REVEALING MORE & MORE SECRETS!The continued outpouring of astrologically related news since have highlighted where confusion has obfuscated ulterior motives (Neptune direct), where missing details may prevent achievement of a strategy's ultimate goal (Virgo/Pisces square & Mercury in Sagittarius.) including events related to law such as the dual-judge mandated release of grand jury information from the legal case of convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell & Jeffrey Epstein's 2008 case. Also included is the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from detention by a judge who also prevented his rearrest on December 12 in Maryland based on declaring that immigration officials cannot re-detain him until the court conducts a hearing on the motion for the temporary restraining order.Next we have the recent Supreme Court “shadow docket” decision allowing Texas's state gerrymander to continue through the 2026 midterms. Along with that comes the realization--a la the revelations revealed since this month's Scorpio New Moon opposite Uranus in Taurus--that race-based voter disenfranchisement is allowable in a democracy. Yep, what's come up from the Scorpionic depths that may surprise many who live here is that the U.S. is still a racist society, often protected by continued racist legal high court decisions. We have also the release now of additional Epstein information, including previously unseen photographs of high profile people such as Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Larry Summers, & more, hanging out in close contact with pedophiles Jeffrey Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell. This as we wait to see whether more Epstein will be released by the Congressionally mandated date of December 19.Given that the Sagittarius Full Moon occurs that day, & that the Sadge Moon, Sun, Juno (the partner), & Venus all quincunx Uranus retrograde in Taurus then, it's highly likely we'll see some adjustment to which partnerships we'll continue to value into the future--& which ones we'll leave behind. Join us starting December 12 for more on all of this astro news you can use, including more on the Mars/Neptune square followed by Mars entrance into Capricorn December 14 & 15, the Sun/Saturn mutable square December 16, & the meaning of the Sagittarius New Moon December 19!

The newly released Epstein emails offer a troubling look at the people who stayed in his orbit and the ways they interacted with him — including former Harvard president and influential public figure Larry Summers. You may not recognize his name immediately, but Summers has played a major role in shaping tech, academia, and government. We break down what the emails show, why they matter, and what they reveal about power networks at the highest levels.

Investigative reporter Greg Palast joins Thom Hartmann for a shocking revelation detailing how the banking sector took over almost every world government. With scrutiny of Larry Summers, Epstein and the “End Game” Memo.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The release of the Epstein emails made clear that people of all types were involved, including Larry Summers, who has connections to Harvard and OpenAI. Bridget Todd breaks down why this matters.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This week, Ron Steslow and Hagar Chemali (Fmr. spokesperson for the U.S. Mission to the UN) break down the newly released Epstein emails, what they show, what they don't and why the national security implications are far bigger than the headlines. They dig into Epstein's attempts to insert himself into global politics including offering Russia “insight” on Donald Trump and the strange connection between Larry Summers and China's Belt and Road Initiative Then, they walk through why Congress forced the DOJ's hand, why Pam Bondi now controls what gets redacted, and why the lack of institutional trust means any carve-outs will only fuel more conspiracy and chaos. After that, they turn to Poland, where a Russian-backed sabotage attack on a key supply line to Ukraine has triggered a crisis inside NATO. In Politicology+ they dive into back-to-back Oval Office visits from two Middle Eastern leaders, and what Trump's defense of the Saudi Crown Prince reveals about America's shifting posture in the region.

Today, we're diving headfirst into the cesspool of corruption that defines the elite club you and I were never invited to join. President Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, a 421-1 House vote forcing the Justice Department to unleash the unclassified horrors of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's world—flight logs, trafficking networks, immunity deals, and the names of the powerful who danced with devils. But Mike Johnson's sudden “national security” excuse? Who's he protecting? Victims are screaming for justice, Trump flip-flopped from “hoax” to “nothing to hide,” and Larry Summers just quit OpenAI after admitting he's in the files. Megyn Kelly's calling out media complicity, and survivors like Jena-Lisa Jones are begging Trump to invite them to the Oval. This isn't transparency—it's a cover-up.Then there's Kristi Noem, the DHS secretary who allegedly funneled $220 million to a firm tied to her own campaign, bypassing every rule in the book. ProPublica's got the receipts, and Jasmine Crockett's not mincing words—corruption's the name of the game. Noem's not alone; the swamp is a hydra, and every head we cut off reveals another. It's the club of the elite, where money and power reign, and we're left holding the bill.Patriots, the Republic's on life support, and the stench of the swamp is choking us out. From Epstein's shadow to Noem's graft, it's everywhere, and they're not even trying to hide it anymore. George Carlin said it best: “It's a big club, and you ain't in it.” Well, today we're crashing the party. Lock in, bring the rage, or watch your country turn into their playground. This isn't a show—it's a declaration of war.
Legislative Action and Presidential Approval The U.S. House voted 427–1 to release Epstein-related documents, followed by unanimous Senate approval. President Donald Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, requiring the DOJ to release unclassified records and declassify materials where possible within 30 days. Trump publicly celebrated the signing, calling prior criticism a “Democratic hoax” and asserting his administration has nothing to hide. Political Backfire Narrative Democrats initially demanded the release to harm Trump politically, assuming the files would implicate him. The documents expose Democratic ties to Epstein, calling it “one of the biggest political backfires in modern history.” Democratic Figures Named Mentions Bill and Hillary Clinton, alleging they risk legal exposure and have ignored subpoenas from the House Oversight Committee. Other names include Stacey Plaskett, Hakeem Jeffries, Bill Richardson, Larry Summers, George Mitchell, and others. Notes that Epstein donated 89% of his political contributions to Democratic and progressive causes between 1990 and 2018. Legal and Investigative Angle Suggests the DOJ is examining Epstein’s connections to high-profile Democrats. References subpoenas issued to the Clintons and eight other individuals. Raises the possibility of contempt charges similar to those faced by Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro for ignoring congressional subpoenas. Flight Records and Media Coverage Points to flight logs showing Bill Clinton traveled on Epstein’s plane multiple times in the early 2000s. Criticizes media and Democratic leaders for alleged hypocrisy and lack of transparency. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

The D's are now planning the color revolution, they are telling the military to disobey the Commander in Chief, remember your oath. Trump has the leverage, this leads to panic.

What kind of system is this?” “We bring in people from foreign countries, and then we pay to lower the cost of their housing while people who were born have to pay higher prices?” “So President Trump is reducing net migration, that is what's going to ultimately, along with all these other steps, deregulation, historic tax cuts, is going to bring down the cost of housing.” Watch: Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1991166902354268474?s=20 advanced chips for AI here in the US.

SHOCKER: Numerous Members of Bill Clinton's Administration Were Visitors at Epstein's Island Bill Clinton's Administration was infested with creeps who reportedly visited Epstein Island. President Trump is right. It is time to investigate the Clintons and the entire Democrat Party for their connections to Jeffrey Epstein. We reported in 2019 that investigative reporter Conchita Sarnoff, the author of “Trafficking” on the Jeffrey Epstein case, joined Shannon Bream and said Bill Clinton flew on Epstein's plane 27 times and ALMOST EVERY TIME that Clinton was on the plane there were underage girls on the plane. Sarnoff also said Bill Clinton was lying about his flights with Jeffrey Epstein. The Clintons were also regular visitors at Epstein's ranch in New Mexico. Al Gore We also learned in 2019 after a release of files from the first Epstein case that one woman claimed Al Gore was at Epstein's Island. A woman who claims she was a sex slave for billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein says she met former vice president Al Gore, according to documents unsealed on Friday. The documents were made public Friday after a U.S. Court of Appeals upheld a lower court decision to make public more than 2,000 pages of court filings in a since-settled 2015 defamation case brought by Virginia Roberts against Epstein confidant and aide Ghislaine Maxwell. Larry Summers We uncovered in 2019 that Larry Summers, the creepy former President of Harvard and President Clinton's Secretary of Treasury, flew numerous times on Jeffrey Epstein's jet and even flew to Epstein's so called ‘Orgy Island'.

Today's Headlines: The House finally voted on releasing the Epstein files, and it was a blowout: 427–1, with Louisiana Republican Clay Higgins as the lone no vote. Speaker Mike Johnson is still trying to get the Senate to redact names (interesting), but survivors held a powerful press conference beforehand urging Trump to stop playing politics and just release the files himself. Meanwhile, the first real accountability domino fell: Larry Summers is stepping back from Harvard and the Center for American Progress over his deep Epstein ties — though OpenAI's board is staying suspiciously quiet about whether he's out there too. Over in the Oval Office, Trump hosted Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman for what was supposed to be a big investment-and-F-35s photo op, but it immediately derailed when reporters asked about Epstein and, awkwardly, MBS's role in the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. Trump waved that off with a casual “things happen,” then snapped at ABC's Mary Bruce for asking why he hasn't released the Epstein files, calling her a “terrible reporter” and demanding ABC lose its broadcast license. Very normal, very innocent behavior. In foreign policy news, the UK has reportedly stopped sharing intel on drug smuggling boats over concerns about recent U.S. strikes — something Secretary of State Marco Rubio swears is absolutely not happening because “it didn't come up once.” The courts were also busy. A federal judge said the DOJ's case against James Comey may have been tainted by “profound investigative missteps,” another court blocked Texas's new gerrymandered congressional map for 2026 (pending the inevitable SCOTUS appeal), and a bankruptcy judge finally approved a $7 billion Purdue Pharma settlement after six years of legal trench warfare — money that will go to families, governments, hospitals, and tribes devastated by the opioid crisis.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.politix.fmDonald Trump's Epstein coverup has faltered. Jeffrey Epstein's estate has produced tens of thousands of emails implicating scads of U.S. elites, Trump foremost among them, but including famed economist Larry Summers and other prominent Democrats. Meanwhile, Congress has now voted overwhelmingly to compel the Justice Department to release its Epstein case files.In this episode, Matt and Brian discuss:* What do the recent disclosures actually reveal?* What the fuck Larry Summers?! And, also, ew!* Should erstwhile Summers allies throw him under the bus, even though he's announced his withdrawal from public life?Then, for paid subscribers, what now? Will Trump sign the Epstein disclosure bill without delay? If so, how will he endeavor to obstruct disclosure once it becomes law? Is the evidence in the case file safe from tampering or destruction? And why has this issue, rather than tariffs or health care or even war in Venezuela, the one that has blown the coalition wide open? (Hint: It has something to do with all the antisemites in MAGA).

Not a lot of people predicted that Trump would fold and let Congress vote on the release of the Epstein files. But his retreat shows that Democrats have more leverage than conventional wisdom has suggested, and they should not rule out long shots in the fight against Trump's authoritarian project. Meanwhile, MAGA looks to be fracturing in real time and Trump looks more and more vulnerable—on his ballroom, falling asleep in meetings, and his constant reminders that he's only out for himself. Plus, MTG's possible Saul to Damascus moment, Border Patrol's invasion of Charlotte, bombing Venezuela would not be America First, and the Epstein emails are a reminder of how gross and nauseating the elites can be.

Today's Headlines: The House is gearing up for a major vote on Wednesday to force the DOJ to release the Epstein files—and suddenly a lot more Republicans are ready to say “yes” now that it's happening in public. Rep. Thomas Massie says they could have 100+ GOP votes and maybe even build a veto-proof majority. Meanwhile, Trump is trying to steer the conversation elsewhere, calling on AG Pam Bondi to investigate Epstein's ties to Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, and JP Morgan—even though Donald Trump himself is the single most mentioned person across those emails. Trump also found time to wage war on Marjorie Taylor Greene, calling her “Marjorie Traitor Greene”. MTG went on CNN to say she's “humbly sorry” for toxic politics and wants the Epstein files released, which… we'll believe when we see it. In other Epstein-adjacent news, several employees at Ghislaine Maxwell's prison were reportedly fired after a whistleblower exposed how much special treatment she's been getting. The DOJ is also in settlement talks with Michael Flynn, who's somehow demanding $50 million in damages for being prosecuted for lying to the FBI back in 2017. As for another distraction tactic, Trump implemented a major rollback of tariffs on beef, coffee, fruits, nuts, spices. He's also rattling sabers with Venezuela as the USS Gerald Ford arrived in the Caribbean. Meanwhile ICE is expanding its aggressive raid tactics to Charlotte and New Orleans. And finally, Indiana lawmakers delivered Trump another L by refusing to redraw their state maps, despite his team begging them to come to the Oval Office so he can “convince” them.

Two weeks ago, Gaslit Nation pointed out that Vance is grooming the Christian nationalist movement to accept him as Trump's replacement. Turns out Vance knew–they all knew–that the Epstein paper trail was radioactive. The House released explosive Epstein documents that confirm what Gaslit Nation listeners already knew: the real story is not what's been revealed, but what's still being buried. We will continue to unpack this story as it develops, including the Kremlin connection as Epstein tried to advise Russia when it came to Trump. For now, the Big Takeaways: The emails released came from the Epstein estate. So what might Trump's DOJ and FBI be sitting on?: Photos, videos, and unredacted FBI and CIA files. Miami Herald reporter Julie K. Brown, whose investigations helped bring down Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, and the resignation of Trump labor secretary Alex Acosta who gave Epstein a "sweetheart deal" and was rewarded with a White House cabinet position, confirmed that thousands of records remain hidden, including: Epstein's original 2008 sex-trafficking indictment draft Search warrants from 2005 and 2019 raids Full lists of possible suspects and accomplices Witness statements and FBI and CIA files Autopsy and investigatory interviews into Epstein's death in prison The new release contains an April 2011 email from Epstein to Maxwell indicating that she misled the DOJ: she knew Trump had spent hours at Epstein's mansion with one of his victims. Epstein himself confirmed Trump's guilt, writing: "I have met some very bad people, none as bad as Trump." Epstein confirms that Trump knew about his pedophile ring. Of course he knew: That's why they were friends. The Epstein/Trump dump exposes Larry Summers, Clinton's Treasury Secretary and an economic adviser to Obama, decrying the MeToo movement in a private email to Epstein and making a sexist joke about women being stupid. Summers was the former president of Harvard University. Michael Wolff, media gossip profiteer and Trump whisperer, provided Epstein and sometimes Trump via Epstein with media consulting–in exchange for access to write his bestselling books. He was even Epstein's behind-the-scenes PR fixer during the Miami Herald investigations. Given that Epstein's victims have successfully sued banks for managing Epstein's human trafficking money, expect to see cases brought against Wolff. MAGA world is imploding. Trump huddled in the Situation Room with Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, and Lauren Boebert to stop the House vote. Boebert reportedly refused–likely because she faces a tough re-election campaign in a blue wave year. A new Democratic majority that finally includes Rep. Adelita Grijalva of Arizona will get their House vote to force the release of the full Epstein files. Once it passes the House, it still needs to clear 60 votes in the Senate. Trump is expected to veto it–after he and the MAGA disinformation machine ran on releasing the Epstein files, even accusing Biden of molesting his own daughter.
