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.

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?

Trump and Hegseth's gathering of the generals wasn’t patriotism — it was theater for authoritarianism. When you tell the military that America's “inner cities” are "a big part of war now” you’re not defending America — you’re declaring war on it. gregpalastinvestigates.substack.com/p/trump-decl...

Explaining Trump wants to turn the US military against the people in Democrat governed cities, @gregpalast.bsky.social calls out the US Minister Hegseth's nonsense - and the insult to all the women serving in the US army past and present (KIA, MIA, injured) with his reference to male warrior spirit

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...

S’about time Trump went after hate speech, like this ugly statement: “I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical a**hole...or that he's America's Hitler.” This hater’s name is JD Vance. Someone should call this guy’s boss and have him fired!

The flood in Kerrville, Texas, was not an Act of God, it was an Act of Trump. Our investigation shows the horrific connection between the drownings in Texas and in New Orleans — 20 years ago this month — and the Trump/DOGE scheme to sell off FEMA. #Katrina #FEMA
