Originalism is the Southern Strategy of Our Courts

Gaslit Nation ·

2025/12/24

All we want for Christmas is a new Supreme Court. Here to tell us how we get there is legal scholar Madiba Dennie, author of The Originalism Trap: How Extremists Stole the Constitution and How We the People Can Take It Back. What's "originalism"? It's white supremacy's answer to the Civil Rights Movement, every bit as sneaky and immoral as Republican operative Lee Atwater's "Southern Strategy," which mobilized racist voters through racist dog whistles instead of open slurs. Originalism sounds fancy

American Media in Crisis: How to Fight Back

Gaslit Nation ·

2025/12/23

We're seeing the same far-right media consolidation in America as during Putin's rise to power. Bari Weiss is the new Roger Ailes, hired to destroy CBS News. The far-right Ellisons are aggressively going after Warner Bros. to build a media monopoly to dumb down more Americans so that we're easier to control. That's why Andrea spoke at Courier News' Courage & Cowardice event in Washington, DC on December 11. Courier, the team that built the searchable Epstein files database released by Congress,

Gaslit Nation reads through the ego and lies of Enabler-in-Chief Susie Wiles' interview with Vanity Fair, where she pulls the Nuremberg defense: I was just following orders! As Trump's primetime rant to the American people reminds us, Wiles is wrong: Trump plans to stay in power. In this week's bonus show–available in full for our Patreon subscribers at the Truth-teller ($5/month) tier and higher, Gaslit Nation cuts through the nonsense to expose Wiles and the rest of Trump's creepy cabinet

2025/12/17

In this high-stakes episode, Andrea is joined by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Oleksandra Matviichuk as Putin openly claims alignment with the U.S., and Europe is being forced to, whether it likes it or not, hold the line. Matviichuk, leader of the human rights organization Center for Civil Liberties, which was awarded the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize, lays out why the war in Ukraine is not a regional dispute or a diplomatic inconvenience, but a direct clash between civilization vs. a fascist crime spree,

The Kremlin's Long Game: Wake Up Before It's Too Late...

Donald Trump's kleptocracy didn't happen overnight–it was part of the Kremlin's long game. With reports of Russia trying to explode planes headed to the US, we're running out of time to wake up before it's too late. In this week's bonus show for Gaslit Nation's Patreon supporters, who keep our independent journalism going in these dark times of institutional rot, media capitulation, and complacency, Andrea warns that we're nearing the point of no return. Putin can now say the U.S. and Russia are

Elect Better Democrats

Here's a clip from last week's Gaslit Nation Salon, where I lay out what it will take for us to stop reactionary elections that punish whichever party is in power: the political pendulum swinging between Christian nationalists to establishment Democrats back to Christian nationalists. If we're serious about defeating fascism and overcoming the many crises we face, we need real political stability built from the ground up, not another cycle of rage-voting whiplash. Because if we don't confront these

Trump's Crypto Scheme to Sell Ukraine to Russia - TEASER

In this extremely enraged episode of Follow the Money, we ask the only question that actually matters in Trump's second crime spree through history: who is getting rich off of Trump chaos and the world's misery? Russian mafia expert Olga Lautman of Trump Tyranny Tracker and Andrea Chalupa of Gaslit Nation together trace a financial pipeline of blood money that runs from the Kremlin, through Qatar, through crypto, straight into Trump World and its favorite oligarch bagmen.

"I Never Had Sex Again.": The E. Jean Carroll Interview

2025/11/19

As the House finally votes to demand the release of the Epstein files, Gaslit Nation talks to journalist E. Jean Carroll about her new book Not My Type: One Woman vs. a President. Carroll shares her chilling story of taking on a serial predator, and how to defeat not just Trump but the system that empowers him. Trump owes Carroll $83.3 million in her rape and defamation case against him. But he's decided to drag things out by taking the case to the Supreme Court–which he packed with Republican

2025/11/14

Two weeks ago, Gaslit Nation pointed out that Vance is grooming the Christian nationalist movement to accept him as Trump's replacement. Turns out Vance knew–they all knew–that the Epstein paper trail was radioactive. The House released explosive Epstein documents that confirm what Gaslit Nation listeners already knew: the real story is not what's been revealed, but what's still being buried. We will continue to unpack this story as it develops, including the Kremlin connection as Epstein tried to

World War III Mind Games

Convicted felon Donald Trump got booed at an NFL game after our euphoric election. So the elites in Congress hit the panic button. This is World War III in America: oligarchy, Big Tech, and Democratic Senators obeying in advance. Here to help us get back on track is Evgeny Finkel, a historian at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies, and the author of Intent to Destroy: Russia's Two-Hundred-Year Quest to Dominate Ukraine and other works on the anatomy of evil.

Is Donald Trump Dying? JD Vance Seems to Think So

Gaslit Nation ·

2025/11/05

Is Donald Trump dying, or just decomposing in real time? He's slurring words, disappearing for days, and bragging that he "aced" an IQ test that was actually a dementia screening. Florida Man may be wilding out destroying our White House, but his VP seems to be circling. It looks like JD Vance is wasting no time trying to lock down the Christian nationalist vote by publicly humiliating his Hindu wife Usha and cuddling up to Charlie Kirk's leather-clad widow. He's moving fast, which means he

We saved this episode for October 30th – Ivanka's birthday – to remind her and Jared they'll never install her as president.

For decades, Christian nationalists have insisted that controlling women's bodies is a moral crusade.

TEASER - Cold War History Behind Trump’s White House...

Gaslit Nation ·

2025/10/24

Like Putin, Donald Trump is determined to hide from the people. He’s promising that a taxpayer-funded FBI–run by MAGA troll Kash Patel–will “secure” the next election. The MAGA cult plans to steal it, again. And with Republican gerrymandering, bot farms from Russia to China, and Elon Musk’s Twitter turned into a disinformation landfill, he just might pull it off. Again. Causing one of the longest government shutdowns in American history – again – Trump gives Argentina a $40 billion bailout. Why

Antifa Uprising

What do Stalin, Trump, and Viktor Orbán have in common? They’re all fragile men terrified of truth, artists, and of anyone with a moral compass. In this week’s Gaslit Nation, we talk with 91-year-old Peter Hidas, who as a young student helped ignite the 1956 Hungarian Uprising, a movement born of courage and faith in a better world. Peter’s story is a testament to what ordinary people can do when they refuse to bow to tyranny. The revolts that shook the Iron Curtain in 1956 laid the groundwork for

2025/10/16

While Peter Thiel obsesses over the Anti-Christ, his company Palantir has been busy building America’s Orwellian Big Brother, which began under Trump’s first term and was allowed to continue under Biden. Under Trump’s second term, Thiel’s Palantir has rapidly expanded into nearly every corner of the U.S. government. A recent New York Times investigation detailed how Palantir’s data-mining empire powers law enforcement and intelligence agencies to track, profile, and monitor not just criminal

Peter Thiel and The Anti-Christ

With Trump’s health visibly in decline, attention is shifting to Peter Thiel’s invention, JD Vance, who may soon be president. Which means Thiel, a billionaire doomsday prepper who thinks the Anti-Christ is Greta Thunberg, could effectively rule the world. What does Thiel’s obsession with the Anti-Christ reveal about how we can resist him? Thiel’s worldview isn’t just weird Silicon Valley paranoia; it’s vintage fascist fan fiction. His ideas trace back to Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt, who justified

Trump is Scared - TEASER

The first movie ever screened in the White House wasn’t Casablanca or Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. It was The Birth of a Nation: a Ku Klux Klan recruitment ad that glorified white rage bloodlust. A century later, Trump’s White House is the sequel: staged propaganda to glorify lies, violence, and hate against freedom fighters–otherwise known as antifa–otherwise known as World War II veterans who won the war against tyranny. Because if you’re not antifa, you’re pro-fascism. Trump is the Frankenstein
