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
How did the mullahs win? Even that flower child Jimmy Carter said the US must use military force to keep open this outlet for the world’s flow of oil. Carter said… READ MORE
There’s something dangerous happening to American democracy and it does not always look like voter suppression. Sometimes it looks like a spreadsheet. Sometimes it looks like a computer algorithm. Sometimes it looks like a letter telling you that your voter registration needs to be verified. Sometimes it looks like nothing at all. And that may… READ MORE
Yvette Nicole Brown has a secret weapon. But we’re not going to keep it a secret anymore. Because last week, the Supreme Court voted 6-3 to Jim Crow the voter rolls, ruling that Donald Trump could make up the list of citizens who can vote. Think about that. America does not… READ MORE
Yes, that’s me and my latest absurd disguise, in a Viet Cong uniform I picked up in Vietnam after the war. I’m celebrating the jokester next to me, Robert Carl Cohen, who is celebrating his 96th birthday this year. Bob is the legendary history making documentarian, the first… READ MORE
The Senate candidate stole it for Trump, he can do it again. The attack on drop boxes, unseen by the media, will determine the midterms nationwide. In 2020, the Attorney General of Texas confessed to stealing the vote for Donald Trump in Texas. “Confess” is the wrong word, I suppose, because … READ MORE
You’ve seen it in a dozen World War II movies. Some menacing German officer in a Hugo Boss trench coat stops the family / spy / hero / refugee to demand citizenship papers. And now, it’s baaack! Trump’s Executive Order 14399 requires Americans to “show me your citizenship papers” to vote. But you can fight this … READ MORE
This is why I was banned from The Guardian for several years. Beginning in 1997, I was an investigative reporter for The Guardian of Britain and a columnist in its Sunday paper The Observer. Until I was banned.Here’s the story that did it: “Two Symbols of American Capitalist Hegemony“
I was, as far as I know, the only … READ MORE
Since that moment when George W. Bush Jim-Crowed his way into the White House, I’ve been on the racist “vote suppression” beat. “Vote suppression” — a polite term for screwing Black people of their vote. And Hispanic, Asian, students — targets spreading like Covid. And after exposing one vicious voter-blocking trick after another, look where we are: it’s like the 1950s but with AI. Gestapo-style citizenship tests to vote, the Post Office used as … 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
