Just when the Democrats thought they had it clinched because of high gas prices from the “little excursion” in Iran, Trump pulls off one of the most brilliant political moves of the last 60 years … READ MORE
Our President holds up a chart showing that if you stood up the Lincoln Monument reflecting pool on its side, it would be taller than the Empire State Building! But apparently, no one told Trump that if you … READ MORE
Four states have purged Muslim voters by the millions. The states are West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan and Kerala. Forgive me the … READ MORE
It’s kind of embarrassing. Donald J. Trump was my business and character reference for my investigations firm, Union Associates, when, in the 1980s, I applied for government contracts. But Frank Sinatra put an end to it… READ MORE
Dear Mr. Colbert, your take-down of Trump’s #2 at FEMA, Gregg Phillips, who claims he was teleported to a Waffle House was so hilarious I spit my milk out through my nose. But I’m not laughing anymore. Mr. Colbert, Phillips may choose our next president … READ MORE
It was a mere 500 years ago that Europeans realized that the Strait of Hormuz was a trade choke point, when Portuguese Admiral Afonso de Albuquerque seized the Island of Hormuz to control trade in and out of the Persian Gulf. It was the first armed European conquest of Arabia meant to … READ MORE
Pam Bondi, Trump-dumped yesterday as US Attorney General, was a highly paid lobbyist for Qatar and Kuwait, not to mention Geo Group, the nation’s top operator of immigrant detention centers (I think we used to call them “prisons”), the cruelty profiteer I exposed years ago in an investigation for The Guardian titled, “Free Market In Human Misery.”… READ MORE
It’s 1931 again. Not 1933, with Hitler still just a cloud no bigger than a man’s hand. In 1931, America was in deep pain. Holding our breath. Today, we’re holding our breath again. Can we hold it until… READ MORE
Leading up to the 2024 election, 4.7 million Americans were wiped off the voter rolls, a daylight robbery of democracy, an outcome not based on the will of the voters but on the cruel, racially poisoned trickery we politely call “vote suppression.” To prevent another electoral crime wave sabotaging the 2026 midterms, we’re launching the counterattack. Joined with… READ MORE
African-American radio host Cleopatra Draper is worried. The victory of Democratic Socialist Dr. Abdul El-Sayed in the Michigan Democratic primary for US Senate has revealed a growing political schism between Black and Arabic voters. According to the Cook Report, Stevens … READ MORE
I watched the late night yucksters like Jon Stewart and Seth Meyers get a bunch of cheap guffaws out of Trump’s supposedly inept attempt at comedy at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, but his performance was at a level that took him a step above comic geniuses. The audience of not-too-clever journalists didn’t get it, while … READ MORE
Thom Hartmann, the historian and talk show host, has put on his Sherlock Holmes’ deerstalker hat and discovered that the Citizens United decision was based on the fraudulent reporting of a key Supreme Court case way back in 1886. A corrupt clerk … READ MORE
I laughed when Trump announced that the Chinese “hacked” a hundred million US voter files — voter’s address, party preference etc. If China spent money to hack this info, they overspent because… READ MORE
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. … READ MORE
Heather Cox Richardson had it right about Graham Platner. What the hell were Democrats doing running this guy for the United States Senate?
We have a President with zero qualifications for the job, who had zero experience. So Democrats decided, Why not? Why can’t we put in a guy with zero experience, zero qualifications, since the… READ MORE
When it comes to America’s semiquincentennial birthday, I feel like someone whose husband has gotten fat and surly and announced he’s going vegan. You just have to keep reminding yourself of those Good Old Days when he was a promising … READ MORE
