Secretary Burgum will sport a triumphant glow due less to the completion of the library he championed than to his close proximity to Donald Trump & the opportunity to have his praise for the president undiluted by the fawning of other cabinet lickspittles. trygvehammer.substack.com/p/a-man-in-t...

Cervantes wrote about a man who charged windmills because he'd been fed too many chivalric novels and couldn't see reality anymore. Someone is handing people lances today and pointing at imaginary monsters so they don't notice who's actually writing the checks. open.substack.com/pub/trygveha...

MacKenzie Scott gave away $26 billion to charity since 2019. She still came out $4.7 billion richer. Abigail Disney says every billionaire who can't live on $999 million is kind of a sociopath. I think she's onto something. New Punching Up 👇 trygvehammer.substack.com/p/billions-a...

Oil hit $128/barrel. North Dakota has zero new drilling rigs. The Bakken's full of oil. So what's the problem? War in the Persian Gulf + a trade war = investment risk Big oil gets the profits. Regular Americans get the gas prices. trygvehammer.substack.com/p/over-a-bar...

This past week: – The Labor Secretary resigned after reports of personal travel on the government's dime – The Treasury Secretary called the Strait of Hormuz the "Straits of Vermouth" – And Lauren Boebert looked at all of this and said: "Why is everyone so horny around here?" champ.ly/0fbMPneV

North Dakota has one of the highest per-capita rates of military service in the country. So when the people making decisions that send our kids into harm's way are operating outside accountability systems — that's a North Dakota problem. champ.ly/ytVI5kiL

"Misery loves company, I guess, which must be what I was thinking when I hired my wife to work for the campaign. She’s fantastic at planning and tracking our spending, but she’s no longer someone with whom I can escape the campaign. Also, it does not seem to have made me her boss." champ.ly/fEmlTABq
