Happy Birthday, Gareth Jones

2024/08/13

Tonight’s episode is coming out soon! We’re putting on the finishing touches, but first, we have a special celebration of a fearless soul. Historian Timothy Snyder’s international bestseller Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin opens with the story of Gareth Jones, the young Welsh journalist who risked his life and career to bear witness to the Holodomor—Stalin’s genocide famine in Ukraine. This terror famine claimed the lives of around five million people, the vast majority in Ukraine,

The Future is Female

America will soon have a president who laughs easily and a humorous vice president, leading what will be the most progressive and joyful administration in American history. Kamala Harris made a strong choice by selecting beloved football coach, former teacher, and Minnesota governor Tim Walz as her running mate. This move unites the Democrats’ Big Tent coalition, which has historically won them the White House. Walz's heartfelt and straightforward approach won him a U.S. House seat in a rural

Merrick Garland Lets MAGA Steal the Election [TEASER]

2024/08/03

In 2000, Republicans stole Florida by scrubbing voter rolls and stopping the recount. In 2004, Republicans stole Ohio by suppressing the vote through deliberately engineered long voting lines and other election day chaos. In 2024, Republicans are throwing everything they can at Georgia. Republican officials in the state are helping them, even those harassed by Trump’s Big Lie. If MAGA can’t steal the Electoral College outright, their fallback plan is to get close, drawing a tie. This would send

How to Stop Trump from Stealing the Election

Gaslit Nation ·

2024/07/31

Days before the 2016 election, Rudy Giuliani went on Fox News promising a "big surprise," emphasizing his point with a Crypt Keeper cackle. "We've got a couple of things up our sleeves that should turn this around." The vast majority of the polls had Hillary Clinton comfortably winning. Paul Manafort, the Kremlin's longtime operative in Ukraine and Trump’s longtime friend and neighbor, had laid low in recent weeks following a bombshell report out of Ukraine that he took millions of dollars in

TEASER - The Prosecutor vs. Putin: Is Kamala Harris...

Gaslit Nation ·

2024/07/27

As Secretary of State for Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton pressed the Russian reset button with a laughing Sergey Lavrov, Russia’s thuggish foreign minister who just endorsed JD Vance. In the early months of his administration, Joe Biden held a press conference with Vladimir Putin and gifted him a pair of aviator glasses while smiling European officials looked on. Will Kamala Harris, as President, surround herself with a national security team that convinces her to make the same mistakes? In this

The American tragedy of Donald J. Trump is about to come to an end with a popular front that elects the first Black and South Asian woman president of the United States. America is ready, and so is Gaslit Nation, with our historic number of phone banks to ensure we rub MAGA’s nose in their defeat. The KKK, the Know Nothings, Nazis, MAGA—whatever you want to call them—will always be among us, as hate and ignorance are human nature.

From the genius who brought you Sarah Palin: Longtime Republican operative Steve Schmidt launched the Pass the Torch USA super PAC to replace Joe Biden on the ballot with anyone else. When they couldn’t find anyone else, they ran businessman and Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips. Is that why so many centrist Democrats who call for an open convention, bypassing Black progressive Kamala Harris, use the rallying cry, “Pass the torch”? One thing is clear: the energy and organization used by Democratic Party

Kremlin Convention

You're telling us to be civil and tone down the rhetoric? Well, excuse us, but we’re not the ones who attempted to violently overthrow our democracy! Ignoring a crisis won't solve it. Yet that's exactly what the mainstream media is doing by “both-sidesing” America’s political violence crisis driven by the far-right. Much of the mainstream media continues to fall in line, pumping out propaganda to normalize Trump. They claim he'll change this time. But you already know that he won’t, because you

Did the Biden Panic Help Biden? [TEASER]

2024/07/13

Over two million people tuned in to see if an 81-year-old man would fall on his face at Thursday night’s press conference. Instead, they received a deep-dive lecture on foreign policy. That’s more than the TV audience for the Oscars. Now, Democrats are finally pushing back against Trump’s fascist blueprint, Project 2025, with their own 100-day plan for 2025, most of which can only be passed if Democrats win control of both chambers of Congress. Still, Biden voicing these solutions while the world

The Politics of Divide and Conquer [TEASER]

2024/07/06

The 2024 US election is the People vs. the autocrats. Trump is supported by Putin and Netanyahu. They would love to see him back in power. As part of the dictator’s playbook, they want to divide and conquer, including weaponizing social movements so that we’re fighting each other rather than building power together. How can we tell fact from fiction if progressive social movements are infiltrated by bad actors? For more on that, this week’s bonus show is a continuation of the inspiring conversation

Now that Jeffrey Epstein is dead (is he?) and Ghislaine Maxwell is in prison, who is serving their billionaire global market of pedophiles? Is Bill Barr, with his connections to traitor FBI agent and Russian spy Robert Hanssen, a Russian asset like Trump? Why isn’t the mainstream media sounding the alarm about the many Kremlin connections to Trump and his family, as well as Russia’s infiltration of the so-called “Deep State,” the FBI, and the CIA?

Every scandal begins with a lie. But the truth will come out. And then comes the fallout and the outrage. Scandals have shaped America since its founding. From business and politics to sports and society, we look on aghast as corruption, deceit and ambition bring down heroes and celebrities, politicians and moguls. And when the dust finally settles, we’re left to wonder: how did this happen? Where did they trip up, and who is to blame? From the creators of American History Tellers, Business Wars and

At the recent Detroit convention of Turning Point USA, led by Christian nationalist Charlie Kirk, a flag in the colors of the MAGA movement declared from the stage “White Boy Summer.” MAGA is a race war against America.
