The Playbook for Defeating MAGA: The Church Committee Report
Gaslit Nation
In the 1970s, Senator Frank Church, a Democrat from Idaho, stuck his neck out–unlike members of Congress today–to take on the real deep state–the FBI and CIA carrying out LSD mind-control experiments on Americans, terrorizing activists, and committing assassinations with the mafia, including against witnesses. The Church Committee Report, based on real Congressional investigations, not just performative show trials, shows us how to confront and dismantle the lawless, mass-murdering MAGA regime. Historians Matthew Guariglia, a senior policy analyst at the Electronic Frontier...

Impeach President Stephen Miller: Justice for Alex Pretti
Gaslit Nation
Stephen Miller, Donald Trump, Kristi Noem, J.D. Vance, and the entire MAGA Klan murdered Alex Pretti. They sent Bovino into early retirement, but he must be arrested, along with his agents who shot 10 bullets into Pretti, an ICU nurse for the VA who spent his life helping others. Demand the impeachment of President Stephen Miller: force Trump to throw him under the bus, too. It's a start to the demands for justice. To honor Pretti and our work ahead, find time to grieve. We cannot power through this collective rage and anxiety without releasing it. Even the strong need to cry in the...

We Need a Fourth American Revolution
Gaslit Nation
Here's what you missed at last week's Gaslit Nation Salon: America's first revolution was against the British empire. The second American revolution was the Civil War to abolish slavery. The third revolution was for Civil Rights to dismantle the authoritarianism of the Jim Crow South. We're not getting out of this without a Fourth American Revolution.

Do Fascists Feel Joy? -- TEASER
Gaslit Nation
The world’s leading philosophers and psychologists were based in Germany and Austria during the rise of Hitler. They studied the darkest chapter of human history while trying to make sense of it and survive it themselves. Their teachings are an urgent alarm for us today: fascists seek endless conflict through domination, and it will never be enough. Drawing on George Orwell’s analysis of Hitler, we see that while democracy offers the radical concept of "having a good time," fascism preys on a neurotic, broken need for "struggle, danger, and death." It is an addiction to conflict, often...

MAGA's Vatican Cold War
Gaslit Nation
Like the rest of us, Pope Leo, the first American Pope, is under siege by MAGA. We discuss MAGA’s war on the “globalist,” “culturally Marxist” Catholic Church with Colleen Dulle, Vatican reporter for America Magazine and author of Christian Nationalists have captured the White House, Congress, and Supreme Court. Now they are targeting the Holy See. We track the strategy from Steve Bannon’s "gladiator school" for disinformation agents to recently converted Catholic JD Vance using his faith to justify mass deportations and ICE terror squads. MAGA has launched a financial boycott of...

The Minnesota Miracle vs. The Insurrection Act - TEASER
Gaslit Nation
They shot a woman three times in the face. Now they want to send in the Insurrection Act. Why are they targeting Minnesota? The “Minnesota Miracle” showed how great our country could be: codified abortion rights, a trans refuge, free universal school meals. The Project 2025 agenda requires covering-up that progress works. We are watching history repeat. The crushing of "Red Vienna" by autocrat Chancellor Dollfuss in 1934 made Austria easier to invade by Hitler and the Nazis. The overthrow of a democratically elected labour government in the Spanish Civil War ushered in a dictatorship by a...

The History of Resistance We Aren't Taught
Gaslit Nation
They want you to be passive and quiet. But history tells a different story. We’re joined by award-winning comic creator Ben Passmore, author of , to dig into the stories that history books, and Hollywood, whitewash: De-sanitizing Resistance: We discuss how films and media often strip away the political intellect of figures like the Black Liberation Army, reducing revolutionary struggle to nihilism. Community as Armor: Ben puts the focus on true resistance as mutual aid. From the Jane Collective organizing healthcare, to prisoners organizing even from solitary confinement, the most...

TEASER - God, Guns, and Blood Money: Inside the Kremlin Church Running a Psy-Op on America
Gaslit Nation
The Russian Orthodox Church, a longtime arm of the Kremlin, is running an intelligence operation targeting MAGA’s Christian nationalism, to help turn America into a dictatorship. This week’s bonus show continues our conversation with Russian mafia expert Olga Lautman. She exposes a sweeping op by the Kremlin’s church. Russians, being white and Christian, get a pass that other terrorist regimes, like Iran, don’t. We fact check their mind-hacking op, and also answer questions from Gaslit Nation listeners–like if Putin and Trump got in a fight, who would win? Whether it's...

Mourning in America and Real Resistance
Gaslit Nation
A statement from Gaslit Nation listener Annie in Minneapolis, Minnesota: Real Resistance I live in Minneapolis, 6 minutes from where Renee Good was shot and killed today by an ICE agent. I am 39, a white woman, with a 6 year old like Renee. I am on my neighborhood rapid response thread and on another morning it could easily have been me who was shot and killed. I feel grief, I feel rage, but I am also hopeful that her death will crack open something that needs to see the light of day. On Tuesday, dozens of people were brutally kidnapped and taken from their families, but there were no...
info_outlineGaslit Nation reads through the ego and lies of Enabler-in-Chief Susie Wiles’ interview with Vanity Fair, where she pulls the Nuremberg defense: I was just following orders! As Trump’s primetime rant to the American people reminds us, Wiles is wrong: Trump plans to stay in power.
In this week’s bonus show–available in full for our Patreon subscribers at the Truth-teller ($5/month) tier and higher, Gaslit Nation cuts through the nonsense to expose Wiles and the rest of Trump’s creepy cabinet defending her. They’re thick as thieves, sticking together to brace for congressional investigations should Democrats return to power. Wiles and Trump’s other enablers, riding his corrupt coattails into power, see the blue waves coming for Republicans in special elections across the country, including in historically red districts. Her interview also reveals some intriguing insights into the MAGA succession battle–and why we should keep our eye on a possible Ivanka/Jared comeback post-midterms.
