This afternoon, we talked live once again with journalist, former ABC News anchor, and fellow newsletter publisher (at Real Patriotism) Terry Moran, about a weakening Donald Trump’s ongoing failures at home and thirst for domination abroad, what the war in Iran means now and might mean for the generation to come, and the ongoing fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein emails. We also talked about:
The Trump administration’s newfound interest in fighting institutional misogyny, religious nationalism, and authoritarianism — so long as that’s happening in Iran, not here
What’s behind Donald Trump’s retreat from regime change fantasies in the United States, and why he’s trying to do it everywhere else instead
What the Epstein files have revealed, what we’re looking into here at The Ink in our Epstein Class series, and why there might even be a reason for hope at the end of the tunnel
