Don’t be lulled into complacency by the mockery surrounding Donald Trump’s claims about election "fraud," the Big Lie, or his insistence that he won the 2020 election.
And please, don’t take the Democrats winning in the upcoming midterms as a given because of Trump’s sagging poll numbers.
The plot against American democracy and freedom is accelerating.

The Welcome Table: Greg Palast interviews Josh Fox
In his new film, The Welcome Table, Josh Fox has traded the point-and-shoot of his seminal Gasland for lush cinematography on five continents. But it ain’t some Discovery Channel travelogue. Fox has brilliantly melded the burning issues of immigration and climate change. Even if you just think global warming is a bunch of hot air (pun intended), this documentary will just knock you out.

Why Trump’s #2 at FEMA, Gregg Phillips, who claims he teleported to a Waffle House, is no joke
Gregg Phillips’ group, True the Vote, challenged over 300,000 voters in 2024, crucial to Trump’s victory.
How can they do that? True the Vote is using old Jim Crow laws that allow any voter to challenge another voter’s ballot.
And now, ahead of the next election, Phillips is training literally 40,000 MAGA vote challengers who’ve exchanged white sheets for spreadsheets.

Trump: The Pirate of Hormuz
There is nothing new under the sun. Five centuries ago, the Portuguese conquistadors imposed a toll (“cartaz”) for ships trying to get through the Strait of Hormuz. Yet Trump and Hegseth didn’t know what every ship captain has known for centuries: the importance of securing the Strait. And the wee problem with Trump’s plan to collect passage tolls in partnership with Iran is that it violates inte

The real story of the FBI raid on Fulton County, Atlanta
You are watching the theft of 2026 before your eyes. The FBI raid on Fulton County is NOT, as the media seems to think, about Trump’s attempt to prove he won the 2020 race.
The warrant says the FBI wants the envelopes from the 2020 election to hunt for crimes. But that’s just the legal excuse for the storm trooping.
This is all about 2026 and 2028. Look at a map. Fulton County is the heart of “Bla

The LAST American President
Thom Hartmann’s new book, The Last American President: A Broken Man, a Corrupt Party and a World on the Brink, is one giant fact check on the Whopper-in-Chief, and much more — a disturbing dive into the roiling miasma of self-aggrandizing, self-deluding, psychologically shattered, wailing man-child who is Commander-in-Chief.

Hartmann & Palast: Trump Declares War on America
Trump and Hegseth's gathering of the generals wasn’t patriotism — it was theater for authoritarianism. When you tell the military that America's “inner cities” are "a big part of war now” you’re not defending America — you’re declaring war on it.
The question now is stark: when the illegal order comes — to turn U.S. troops with live ammunition on the American people — will these generals follow

What would Bobby Kennedy Jr.'s father, Robert F. Kennedy, the man who saved Martin Luther King’s life, think of his son now?
By endorsing Trump, Bobby Kennedy Jr. has endorsed everything he ever fought against.

Election Crimes Bulletin: How Trump Has Already Fixed 2026
You can ignore Trump slyly hinting to the Lord’s chosen that he just might call off the next election.
But don’t ignore this: Trump won’t be calling off the election because he doesn’t have to. The Fix for 26 is already in.

Asian Americans are the fastest growing voter group in America — and Trump just dissed them
The Asian American community is the fastest growing voter group in America. Since the last presidential election, 2 million more Asian Americans have become eligible to vote. There are now 15 million potential Asian American voters.
When you look at swing states, like Georgia, there are 328,000 Asian Americans eligible to vote in Georgia. That's the state that Biden won by less than 12,000 votes.
