My new book "American Psychosis" hits on 9/13. This rollicking history of the GOP's decades-long relationship with far-right extremism provides the perfect context for the debate on the Republican Party, Trumpism, & fascism. Please order now & RT this. amazon.com/American-Psych…

Don’t forget that Lindsey Graham played a key role in Trump’s effort to delegitimize the Russia investigation and dismiss the Trump-Russia scandal as a hoax and witch hunt, thus serving as a useful idiot for Putin. motherjones.com/politics/2026/…

NEW: Lost in all the news last week was that Trump is still legitimizing Putin as a fine fellow who wants the war in Ukraine to end. As I report in my OUR LAND newsletter, this is more absurd Putin-boosting from Trump—while Putin bombs Kyiv. link.motherjones.com/public/46530634

NEW: I left the country for two weeks, and, as I wrote in my OUR LAND newsletter, being less engaged with our bonkers news cycle made it easier to see that we're drowning in a sea of stupid. link.motherjones.com/public/46483021

Yesterday, Trump gave a speech full of hate/paranoia & hailed “American exceptionalism.” Guess what—before it was politically advantageous to take this position, he dismissed US exceptionalism & said it was “not a nice term.” I provide receipts: motherjones.com/politics/2016/…

Happy One of the Worst July 4ths in US history. The good news: the best American values & principles will eventually triumph over Trump, his vanity, his corruption & his politics of hate. After all, Americans have risen up against a tyrant before. motherjones.com/politics/2025/…

Republicans in Congress handed out over $1 trillion in tax cuts to the top 1% — and they slashed over $1 trillion from health care and food assistance. Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is the single largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in one law in American history.

Elon is now trying to shift the blame for dismantling USAID, America's greatest soft-power tool, by endorsing claims that he was "just an adviser." Yet when USAID was being dismantled, Musk proudly declared: "We spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper." The man even posed with a chainsaw on stage afterward. A new Lancet study estimates that USAID programs prevented nearly 92 million deaths between 2001 and 2021, including more than 30 million children under five. If the 2025 cuts continue, researchers project more than 14 million additional preventable deaths by 2030, including 4.5 million children. That's a death toll on the scale of the First World War, driven by cuts to humanitarian aid rather than a global war. These broligarchs are completely detached from reality. They have zero accountability, and seem unable to grasp that their decisions have real-world consequences measured in millions of lives.

NEW: In my OUR LAND newsletter, I explain the fundamental reality of the Iran debacle: This was a stupid war that has ended—if it has—in stupid fashion. Billions of dollars spent, 1000s of lives lost, Americans economically harmed—all for no good reason. link.motherjones.com/public/46224833

A groundbreaking investigation by Pema Levy and Melissa Lewis goes deep on the right-wing funding networks pushing the Supreme Court to give billionaires what they want. motherjones.com/politics/2026/…
