By Thom Hartmann A...

Republicans' Vicious and Immoral Health Care Bill Is Just Part of a Sinister Long Game
By Thom Hartmann A...
While Democrats are jubilant that the GOP passed a terrible healthcare/tax-cut bill through the House, which they think will cause voters to reject the GOP in 2018, it's a very, very premature celebration.
Our Constitution Vs. the Deep State Run by Intelligence Agencies and the Pentagon — Only One Will Survive
By Thom Hartmann A...
It is virtually impossible to read a newspaper or a blog analyzing the politics of America in 2017 without thinking "disaster."

Trump Wants a 'Good Shutdown' in September. Seriously?
By Thom Hartmann A...
Teddy Roosevelt walked softly and carried a big stick.
Donald Trump, on the other hand, is doing the exact opposite - he's walking loudly and carrying a soft stick.

Donald Trump won't be pulling the US out of NAFTA - at least not immediately.

Are We Watching The End Of A Free Press?
By Thom Hartmann A...
Just a few months after Donald Trump told us all how much he loved Wikileaks, his Justice Department wants to arrest its founder - Julian Assange.

Are We Going To Have A Shutdown?
By Thom Hartmann A...

Just under 100 days into the Trump era, our government is once again lurching towards shutdown, and it's all because Donald Trump wants American taxpayers - not Mexico - to pay for his precious border wall.
