Badlanders!
Welcome to the 29th episode of The Blitz, which is intended to serve as a weekly recap and dissection of the work we do Monday through Friday in the Badlands Brief.
On this episode, Burning Bright and GhostofBasedPatrickHenry start with a look at recent jobs data and media reaction to it in order to make the case that Donald Trump’s Golden Age agenda is already beginning to manifest in ways the machine is finding difficult to suppress.
So, how far along in the transition are we … and just how bright are things going to get?
I think you’ll like the answers, for what they’re worth.
As always, while all Badlands content will continue to be free, including The Blitz, the only way we’re able to pay ourselves for the time is due to those of you who choose to support it directly.
So, if you like the work this Substack team does on a daily basis and the step-up in said work for 2026, consider upgrading to a Paid Subscription to this newsletter (cancel at any time.)
Otherwise, stay Positive, stay Based and most importantly … stay Bright!
