Don’t be lulled into complacency by the mockery surrounding Donald Trump’s claims about election "fraud," the Big Lie, or his insistence that he won the 2020 election.And please, don’t take the Democrats winning in the upcoming midterms as a given because of Trump’s sagging poll numbers.The plot against American democracy and freedom is accelerating.On this episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show, Greg Palast argues that Trump's recent speech on election "security" and "fraud" should not be dismissed simply because it contained false claims.Instead, Palast says it reflects what he describes as a decades-old strategy of voter purges and voter suppression aimed at key Democratic voting blocs, including Black, Hispanic, and women voters.
 
Palast also discusses his concerns about the proposed SAVE Act and other election-related measures, explaining why he believes they could have significant consequences for future elections if enacted or implemented.

In his new film, The Welcome Table, Josh Fox has traded the point-and-shoot of his seminal Gasland for lush cinematography on five continents. But it ain’t some Discovery Channel travelogue. Fox has brilliantly melded the burning issues of immigration and climate change. Even if you just think global warming is a bunch of hot air (pun intended), this documentary will just knock you out.

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.

This explosive interview between investigative journalist Greg Palast and KPFK Solartopia host Harvey Wasserman dives deep into the shocking hidden realities of nuclear power.
Palast has led investigations of multi-billion-dollar frauds in the nuclear power industry, while Wasserman, is an author, activist and expert on all things nuclear. Between them, the pair have insider knowledge on the industry going back decades, with Wasserman serving as a whistleblower in one of Palast’s most incendiary investigations.
During this not-to-be-missed conversation, the duo share sharp criticism of slapdash safety practices, inside info on industry cover-ups, and the staggering concealed economic costs behind reactor projects. From chaotic construction and flawed backup systems, to the disturbing facts belying the sanitized fiction released to the public in defense of disasters like Fukushima, the conversation challenges mainstream narratives and raises a bigger question: in a world of rapidly advancing renewable energy, is nuclear power not just risky—but fundamentally uncompetitive?

Gregg Phillips’ group, True the Vote, challenged over 300,000 voters in 2024, crucial to Trump’s victory.
 
How can they do that? True the Vote is using old Jim Crow laws that allow any voter to challenge another voter’s ballot.
 
And now, ahead of the next election, Phillips is training literally 40,000 MAGA vote challengers who’ve exchanged white sheets for spreadsheets.

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. Here's how.
