Trump-Musk Order Will Cost 21 Million Their Vote

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump issued an extraordinary executive order that would give, “the DOGE Administrator,” that is, Elon Musk, access to the voter files of every state for the purpose of purging millions of Americans from voter rolls as suspected “non-citizens.” The Executive Order, with its Orwellian title ...

How Trump, GOP Fixed 2026 — Yes, 2026

You can ignore Trump slyly hinting to the Lord’s chosen that he just might call off the next election. “Four more years, you know what? It’ll be fixed, it’ll be fine, you won’t have to vote any more, my beautiful Christians.” But don’t ignore this: Trump won’t be calling off the election because he doesn’t have to.

Election Theft in the Context of RacismPalast's documentary "opens our souls"

Vigilantes Inc. is about far more than the 2024 election. America’s present-moment racism is put under the harsh, glaring light of its own past — its post-Reconstruction, Jim Crow-era past, when efforts to “get around the 15th Amendment” included not only poll taxes (for blacks only) and spurious questions (“how many jellybeans in the jar?”) to outright intimidation and vicious...

Trump Lost. Vote Suppression Won.Here are the numbers...

Trump lost. That is, if all legal voters were allowed to vote, if all legal ballots were counted, Trump would have lost the states of Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia. Vice-President Kamala Harris would have won the Presidency with 286 electoral votes. And, if not for the mass purge of voters of color, if not for the mass disqualification of provisional and mail-in ballots, if not for the new mass... READ MORE

Carter, The Kochs and The Donald

I couldn’t stomach Jimmy Carter — until my view of him turned around 180 degrees just four years ago. Like most Democrats who supported Ted Kennedy’s run against him, I tagged Carter as just some grinning anti-New Deal Bible-thumping goober. And his post-Presidential ... READ MORE

Trump’s “2000 Mules” Maker Confesses Dropbox Charges Were Phony

Back in May 2022, we warned you that Dinesh D’Souza’s film 2000 Mules would help elect Donald Trump in 2024. Thanks, in part, to the anti-dropbox hysteria whipped up by 2000 Mules, dropboxes were outright banned in some states. Many other states moved to restrict them. But with the damage done, in a quarter-assed non-apology, D’Souza now admits that the premise of the film was based on “inaccurate information” and ... READ MORE
