Thom Hartmann’s new book, The Last American President, is one giant fact check on the Whopper-in-Chief, and much more — a disturbing dive into the roiling miasma of self-aggrandizing, self-deluding, psychologically shattered, wailing man-child who is Commander-in-Chief.

"Trump learned cruelty from his dad but learned how to weaponize it from his second daddy: Roy Cohn, Joe McCarthy’s henchman, who taught Trump how to use fear and media manipulation to break your enemies — a group now encompassing most Americans." — Greg Palast

My daily reminder---

If you didn't fight voter suppression then you chose this for America. Many voters were suppressed/ gerrymandered.

10 million voters voted for Harris, & their votes didn't get counted. See @gregpalast.bsky.social documentary "Vigilantes Inc" youtu.be/P_XdtAQXnGE?...

The always-insightful @gregpalast.bsky.social gives us his take on the new book authored by @hartmannreport.com ("It’s not just the nightmares it induces; it’s the fact that you’ll wake up to the nightmare that is our new reality.") Must-reads from both Greg and Thom...don't miss either of them!

The question now is stark: When the illegal order comes — to turn U.S. troops with live ammunition on the American people — will these generals follow it? And are they more or less likely to after this gathering?

By endorsing Trump, #RFKJr has endorsed everything he ever fought against. Trump won the election by removing voters of color. Bobby was a voting rights advocate. How could he stand there next to that man who is mass challenging voters? gregpalastinvestigates.substack.com/p/bobby-kenn...
