The Daily Briefing

60 Days to Clean Up a Billion-Dollar Lie

Walz’s Somali fraud machine, Oz’s Medicaid kill switch, Hegseth’s cartel war, and the first test run of your new daily war-room brief.

Welcome to Ledger Daily — the paid, deep-dive war room that lives underneath The Daily Briefing.

The free Briefing will keep doing what it does best: five-minute clarity on the stories that actually matter. Ledger is for when you want the rest of the file — the money trails, timelines, buried quotes, narrative games, and what it all signals next. We’re soft-launching it through December and flipping the switch officially on January 1, so today’s issue is a test run.

Read this the way you’d read an ops memo, not a blog — and then hit reply and tell me what worked, what dragged, and what you want more of. This only gets sharp if you help sharpen it.
