Investigative journalist/author of the bestsellers Armed Madhouse and The Best Democracy Money Can Buy: Did voters or voter suppression decide the 2024 election? Watch my award-winning documentary:
The fact is, the GOP cannot win unless they get rid of Black voters, brown voters, young voters, and a lot of women voters. They can’t win it by convincing people to vote for them. So, this is what they’re going to do instead. 🔊 Full interview: thechaunceydevegashow.libsyn.com/ep-453-inves...
Trump's surprise: The Reflecting Pool makeover was done to set the record for Largest Guacamole Dip Bowl—just in time to celebrate the Quatro de Julio. He’s ordered JD Vance to grab a bag of tortillas, dip them in the slime and eat 'em, saying with glee, “I’ll swallow anything El Prez tells me to!"
Congratulations to Donald Trump for entering the Guinness Book of Records for the world's largest monument to snot. I will never again feel the same way about mucus.
Trump's cage fight genius: He's the Distractor-in-Chief Forget the UFC fight, here’s what you should be focusing on instead... 🔊 gregpalastinvestigates.substack.com/p/trumps-cag... #ElectionCrimesBulletin #Podcast
Star of our film Vigilantes Inc., MAJ Gamaliel Turner warns Louisiana v. Callais ruling marks the end of America's post-Civil Rights Movement. "My message really is to stop playing, to start paying attention...My generation is watching to see what you're going to do. You can't play games anymore.”
Ken Paxton just won the Republican primary for Senate in Texas. As seen in our film Vigilantes Inc., Paxton proudly claims that Trump would've lost TX if he hadn't blocked 2.5 million mail in ballots in Harris County — which has the second largest Black and Hispanic populations in America.
Everyone's knocking Kash Patel because he went snorkeling at the Pearl Harbor Memorial where 600 sailors are interred. Yeah yeah, that's against the law. But you have to admit, that was pretty rad. And next, he's gonna thrash his dirt bike through Arlington National Cemetery. This dude is dope!

The problem with “geo-location” based on cell phone tracking is it’s only accurate to within 90 feet. So, anyone commuting to work that drives by a dropbox is a “mule”, according to Phillips. Hey, instead of 2000 Mules, he should have called his film “2000 Mailmen.”
To track these Black vote “mules”, Phillips pretends to use an ultra-scientific method called “geolocation” — that is, data you can buy on the web that tracks cellphones. He claims some of the alleged multiple voters stop at the dropboxes several times a day over several days.
We've been onto Phillips, who we exposed in our film Vigilantes Inc. He’s the brains, if you can call it that, behind the group True the Vote whose film, 2000 Mules, launched at Mar-a-Lago by Trump, makes the bonkers claim that billionaires paid Black men to stuff ballot boxes.
Mr. Colbert, your take-down of Trump’s #2 at FEMA, Gregg Phillips, who claims he was tele-transported to a Waffle House was so hilarious I spit my milk out through my nose. But I’m not laughing anymore. Phillips may choose our next president, he’s that powerful. In fact, he chose our current one.
Donald, next time, before you bomb a nation, may I suggest that you and Pete Hegseth look at Google maps. ▶️ Get the full story: gregpalastinvestigates.substack.com/p/hormuz-blues
In 2023, Biden deployed A-10s to protect the Strait of Hormuz. It's easy to say that Biden has a "cognitive deficit," but his concern about Hormuz shows that Trump is just straight ignorant, insane and dangerous. This threat was known from day one. Biden understood this. The media has such amnesia.
Trump has ordered hospital ships to Greenland. I think this is what he has in mind. (Image by Steven Kelem, used with permission.)

Jesse Jackson (1941-2026) — My Reverend, My Brother For 50 years we fought side-by-side, and sometimes fought face-to-face. He's the only man, other than my dad, I've ever kissed — a year ago, when I kissed him goodbye.
Let’s end Presidents Day. Looking at the sewer rats, war criminals, grifters, scoundrels, and current short-fingered vulgarian who has stained the Oval Office orange, why the hell are we celebrating Nixon, Ray-gun, Klan-fave Hayes (look up his “election”), Trail-of-Tears Jackson and Don Jr.’s dad?

Trump is not the first official given someone else’s Nobel Prize medal. In 1943, Norwegian novelist Knut Hamsun gave his Nobel medal to Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s Minister of Propaganda. 🧵
This Thanksgiving I was supposed to carve up the turkey, but JD Vance wouldn't hold still.🤠 I know that Trump will be giving thanks to the United Arab Emirates for their gift to him of a $400 million jet—by coincidence, roughly the amount the UAE has laundered for Iran to continue funding Hezbollah.
Who cares if Trump tells congressman to release the Epstein files. Just release them, Don. If Congress passes the bill, Trump could still simply veto it. #EpsteinFiles
