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 is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Hartmann combines a remarkable piece of historical research with a brilliant literary style to tell the grand story of corporate corruption and its consequences for society with the force and readability of a great novel."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
