Does the American Rescue Plan Signal the End of the Reagan Revolution?
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.

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.

None Dare Call It Treason & Murder
By Thom Hartmann A...
Americans "have got to know" if our last president conspired to commit treason and murder to end American democracy.
