It's Independence Day! There's no better way to celebrate than standing up to a bully. Whether it's a twice-indicted Russian mafia asset running for president, or his cult of violent white supremacists, there's no shortage of bullies running amok these days. Science journalist and bestselling author David McRaney, author of the books How Minds Change and You Are Now Less Dumb , shares his research...

The Supreme Court is a cesspool of corruption with three members appointed by a Russian mafia asset. It's also treated in America like a sacred priesthood above the law, allowing Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito to profit from deep pocketed far-right megadonors. The Fox News majority of the Supreme Court has stripped our country of essential rights, condemning people to die from lack of reproductive...

Putin is weak and getting weaker. In this special live taping of Gaslit Nation, Russian mafia expert Olga Lautman, who has a long history of investigating and exposing the Russian mafia state's active measures in the U.S. and Europe, joins Andrea to discuss where things are headed in Russia's escalating power struggle, what it means for Ukraine, and how the world needs to start preparing for a pos...

Where is Putin? No one has seen him lately other than a short video of Putin looking uncharacteristically tense addressing the nation, calling out a military coup against him that killed around a dozen Russians in his military. Putin's longtime operative, the Russian warlord Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the private military army Wagner (named after Hitler's favorite composer!) has turned into Pu...

Gaslit Nation has been vindicated, and it sucks to be vindicated about the deadly inertia of a mafia state accomplice! After two years of describing obvious inaction on obvious crimes and being assured by an army of bot-brained propagandists that Merrick Garland is fighting the good fight but Must Keep Silent for Reasons You Will Understand in Time, we have new confirmation that, no, he's just a t...

Welcome to another Gaslit Nation Greatest Hits! We remind you once again that Trump is a traitor to our country who built his Trump Family Ponzi scheme of a House of Cards with the help of Russian blood money, as the Idiot Sons Don Jr. and Eric have admitted. Which foreign adversaries profited off of Trump's stolen documents and when will Jared and Ivanka be investigated and indicted for their rol...

Gaslit Nation comes full circle! Our new graphic novel Dictatorship: It's Easier Than You Think! was released today, on the same day longtime Russian mafia asset Donald Trump was finally arrested on federal charges of espionage. The A.I. overlords writing the simulation we're all stuck in certainly have a festive spirit!   If you haven't had a chance to pick up a copy, including for a young person...

This was recorded Thursday June 8 to react to the toxic smoke and what it means for our civilization.

There will be more on that in next week's episode!  Did you celebrate the long awaited federal indictment of Trump? That's perfectly fine to do, even if history has shown Trump has go...

This week's special episode opens with a news round-up, asking once again–who paid $500,000 to bail George Santos out of jail, and what do they expect in return? Nikki Halely's genocidal hate speech against trans people gets fact-checked. (Halely is  reportedly the Kushner's horse in the race in their attempt at a comeback.) Mike Pence formally announced he's running for president, presenting an o...
