Does the American Rescue Plan Signal the End of the Reagan Revolution?
Mar. 12, 2021 5:15 pm
By Thom Hartmann A... Grifting is all the GOP has to offer anymore
Ten years ago, Peter Turchin published a provocative piece in Nature predicting we'd see massive political upheaval in 2020, because, he said, politics tends to go in cycles of around between 40 and 60 years, most often 50 years. He essentially predicted we'd see people in the streets last year like we hadn't seen since the late 1960s, and it turns out he was right.
The Real "Cancel Culture" Scheme By Republicans Revealed
Mar. 11, 2021 4:40 pmBy Thom Hartmann A... For some bizarre reason, our media has missed what's right in front of their faces
While Fox News, rightwing hate radio and Republican politicians have been all over the "canceling" of racist Dr. Seuss drawings (by the family foundation) and Mr. Potatohead (by toymaker Hasbro), they've been quite vigorous in pursuing "cancel culture" in other areas.
The British Monarchy & the Royal Trumps Remind Us All of the Importance of Democracy
Mar. 10, 2021 3:09 pmBy Thom Hartmann A... The world is getting tired of overdressed cranky billionaire families
America Needs a "Right to Vote," as Georgia Proves Jim Crow Never Completely Ended
Mar. 9, 2021 3:45 pmBy Thom Hartmann A... The right to vote is more important then owning property or guns
This week, Georgia passed the most restrictive voter suppression legislation since Jim Crow. In actuality, the Georgia legislature proves that Jim Crow never completely ended. It's alive and well today, in part, and its principal proponent is the GOP.
Why the Republicans Will Only Talk About "Big Lies" & Culture Wars
Mar. 9, 2021 3:53 amBy Thom Hartmann A... More & more Americans are figuring out their feigned-outrage 40-year old scam
Now that "conservative ideas" have been so badly discredited, Republicans are resorting back to Big Lie and faux outrage techniques to try to hold their base together.
Why Is America Not Holding the COVID Hitman Accountable?
Mar. 8, 2021 4:06 pmBy Thom Hartmann A... Greg Abbot thinks he can get away with murder because Trump did — At least so far…
Normally when over a half-million people die from something entirely preventable somebody is held accountable. So far, that hasn't happened in the United States.
GOP Uses Dr. Seuss To Distract From Their Embrace of Gangster Capitalism
Mar. 6, 2021 2:12 pmBy Thom Hartmann A... Cranking up the culture wars won't stop the destruction of our democracy…but it might win elections
So, while the Senate was debating Joe Manchin's proposal to cut back unemployment benefits to Americans whacked by the coronavirus, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy was reading Dr. Seuss out loud.
A "Jimmy Stewart Filibuster" Would Pass HR 1 & Save American Democracy
Mar. 5, 2021 4:44 pmBy Thom Hartmann A... HR1, the For The People Act, is probably the most consequential piece of legislation of the century. Consequential, at least, in the positive sense: with GOP voter suppression efforts spreading across the country, the future of both the Democratic Party and democracy itself is on the line.
None Dare Call It Treason & Murder
Mar. 4, 2021 4:34 pmBy Thom Hartmann A... Americans "have got to know" if our last president conspired to commit treason and murder to end American democracy.
Did Donald Trump and some of the people around him conspire to have others murder the Vice President and Speaker of the House in order to hold power and conceal his crimes for another four years?
Time and evidence will eventually prove or disapprove that question, but the evidence before us right now is pretty grim.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann channels the best of the American Founders with voice and pen. His deep attachment to a democratic civil society is just the medicine America needs."
From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
