As Trump continues to threaten public officials and attempt to overturn the election results, he puts at stake not only our nation’s political future, but the literal survival of its citizens. More Americans are projected to die from the Covid-19 pandemic than died during World War II. The majority of those deaths were preventable. Americans are not dying: they are being killed by the malice and failures of their own government.
Read MoreWelcome to attempted coup week four! Trump still refuses to concede and meanwhile he is gutting every department in sight. We discuss the new executive order that aims to fire 88% of civil servants and possibly replace them with Trump lackeys (or lead the positions unfilled altogether) and how this reflects the broader goal of Trump and the GOP to destroy the US government from within.
Read MoreWe make the case yet again for all the criminal actors in the Trump camp to be held accountable. We demand thorough and transparent investigations of the crimes that have occurred and indictments where merited. Unity without justice is hollow.
Read MoreWelcome to week two of the attempted Trump coup! As Trump refuses to concede, his cronies are using mafia tactics to attempt an illegal second term, including threatening secretaries of state and other officials with violence, pressuring bureaucrats to deny Biden’s win and thus prevent Americans from getting needed resources, entering drawn-out court battles designed to reach courts packed with Trump lackeys, and if all else fails, war with Iran!
Read MoreWe have a winner, and it’s Joe Biden! And we have a coup, and it’s ongoing!

The dark tactics of court packing, institutional purges, and demoralization are coming to a head this week as the GOP attempts to fulfill its goal of a one-party autocratic state.
Read MoreWith just two weeks left to go before the election, we break down the big threats to democracy and national security – and Hunter Biden phony laptop is not among them!

We continue to document the decimation of democracy, focusing on the SCOTUS hearings and the potential appointment of Amy Coney Barrett. We review how the judiciary is usually the last bulwark against autocracy but how in the US, the GOP has structured their autocratic coup around court-packing, putting the rights we rely on to fight autocracy in jeopardy.

Read MoreAmerica 2020 is a land of cults – personality cults, death cults, conspiratory cults, and a transnational crime syndicate masquerading as a government that binds them all together! We examine how the GOP has abandoned even the pretense of a platform in favor of blind worship of Dear Leader, Donald Trump and a dynastic kleptocracy run by Ivanka and Jared. We delve into Jared’s latest dirty deals around the world, and warn of the consequences of allowing an anti-American crime family to retain power.
