Kevin Patrick is the president of the board of directors in the small town of Villa Park, Illinois. He’s a veteran of the Coast Guard, a patriot dedicated to service, and perhaps most tragically, a victim of the incompetence that characterized the government’s response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005....

Be afraid. The Trump Administration has “put on leave” — effectively fired — 35 experts from FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, for signing a letter to Trump saying that his mass elimination of emergency experts is threatening the lives of Americans. Another 155 signed but masked ... READ MORE| Greg Palast
I need you to read this before Friday, the 20th Anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. It’s by a Coast Guardsman assigned to pull the dead from the waters. Now, as Supervisor in a small town in Illinois, he’s concerned that Trump will ... READ MORE| Greg Palast
Twenty years ago this month, Coast Guardsman Patrick was one of the first responders sent in after hurricane Katrina drowned Gulfport and New Orleans. He told me about recovering the bloated bodies of pregnant women, or pieces of pregnant women, out of the water. He tried to pull one corpse from the flood, but the “arm slid off like a chicken wing.”| Greg Palast
The flood in Kerrville, Texas, was not an Act of God, it was an Act of Trump. Greg Palast’s investigation for Democracy Now! 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, the Federal Emergency Management Agency.| Greg Palast
Will control of the US Senate come down to ugly ethnic cleansing?| Greg Palast
Kherson: Human Safari is both a frontline documentary and a work of resistance art — a powerful and poetic film created inside the war-torn city of Kherson, the city that does not fear. The film exposes one of the most horrifying aspects of ... READ MORE| Greg Palast
Elon Musk is not in the car business; he is a pollution salesman. As a car company, Tesla is effectively bankrupt. This past quarter Tesla’s reported profits were only $405 million, a profit shown only because he sold “emissions credits” to GM and other car companies to the tune of $595 million. In other words, he’s not... READ MORE| Greg Palast
Forget Jan 6th. Trump’s next move is smarter, and far more dangerous: use the courts, AI, and right-wing militias to erase millions of Americans from the vote — legally. It’s not a theory. It’s a plan. James Carville isn’t a man prone to panic, but when he says, “I would not put it at all past [Trump] to try to call martial law or declare... READ MORE| Greg Palast

How do we defeat the forces that would watch democracy bleed to death and applaud?| Greg Palast

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump issued an extraordinary executive order that would give, “the DOGE Administrator,” that is, Elon Musk, access to the voter files of every state for the purpose of purging millions of Americans from voter rolls as suspected “non-citizens.”| Greg Palast
You can ignore Trump slyly hinting to the Lord’s chosen that he just might call off the next election. “Four more years, you know what? It’ll be fixed, it’ll be fine, you won’t have to vote any more, my beautiful Christians.” But don’t ignore this: Trump won’t be calling off the election because he doesn’t have to. The Fix for 26 is already in.| Greg Palast
Vigilantes Inc. is about far more than the 2024 election. America’s present-moment racism is put under the harsh, glaring light of its own past — its post-Reconstruction, Jim Crow-era past, when efforts to “get around the 15th Amendment” included not only poll taxes (for blacks only) and spurious questions (“how many jellybeans in the jar?”) to outright intimidation and vicious violence.| Greg Palast

Georgia launches voter registration cancellation website — then leaks data of EVERY GA voter.| Greg Palast
Instead of counting Joe Biden’s brain cells, we need to be counting “vigilantes,” the self-proclaimed vote fraud hunters who, under new state laws, can challenge the vote of their fellow Americans and stop their votes from being counted.| Greg Palast
