Ron Bloom, a sleazeball DeJoy Defender who works for the company that helped bail out Jared Kushner's debt in a dirty deal under congressional investigation, will be replaced! Does this mean the corrupt Postmaster General who deliberately slowed down the mail will soon be fired? We also discuss the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict. Like the January 6 Capitol attackers lured into action with promises of protection, Rittenhouse is a pawn in a broader authoritarian play.

Welcome to month ten of post-Capitol attack America in which no elite operatives have been punished for the worst attack on the Capitol since 1812! This includes fascist felon Steve Bannon, who turned his surrender for subpoena dodging into a reality TV show starring himself. We discuss Bannon's brazen criminality and why the lack of urgency from agencies tasked with accountability is so dangerous. In times of extreme threat, complacency is complicity.

Welcome to the Gaslit Nation election aftermath hellhole special! We look at two big factors in Posh Trump Glenn Youngkin's win: 1) how the GOP's elite criminal impunity draws white voters to backing raw power, in the hope that this power will protect them and in fear that it will not 2) how the canard of "critical race theory" was weaponized by propagandists and the Dems did little to combat it, despite GOP operatives spelling out the strategy very clearly in March!

There's a lot going on, but Sarah isn't feeling well and lost her voice. We plan to cover the major news events next week, like the elections and what they can tell us, and Joe Manchin's latest betrayal of the American people. This week, after recently speaking at Congress about the Equal Rights Amendment, and getting arrested in Washington, DC in a protest demanding voting rights legislation, Alyssa Milano stops by Gaslit Nation to discuss this and more, including her new book Sorry Not Sorry.

This is a special extra urgent Gaslit Nation news bulletin for anyone anywhere around the world who has friends, family, co-workers, acquaintances, old flames who can vote in Virginia. The governor's race this Tuesday is extremely close. If Trumpist Glenn Youngkin wins, he can help steal Virginia for the Republican party in the 2024 election, ensuring Democrats lose the White House.

Welcome to the Gaslit Nation Halloween Special! At Gaslit Nation, it is forever Halloween AND Groundhog's Day, so we revisit some familiar villains – Mark Zuckerberg, Donald Trump, Steve Bannon – and look at the incredibly bad horror sequels they are plotting!

This week's Gaslit Nation explores narrative warfare, from Russia's Stalinist revisionism (now including an attack on Andrea's film Mr Jones!) to the "both-sidesing" of the Holocaust in US schools, to the memory-holing of the Capitol attack.

It has now been over nine months since the January 6 attack on the Capitol, and none of the key perpetrators – Trump, Bannon, Flynn, Stone, etc – have been held accountable. And now they are dodging and defying subpoenas! What the Democrats are showing is that you cannot fight hate speech with weasel words, and you cannot fight accelerationism with inertia. This whole gang is running out the clock – the GOP and the transnational crime syndicate that backs them.

The US government may have avoided a shutdown, but Facebook did not! On Monday everyone's least favorite data-mining, genocide-abetting tech behemoth had the longest shutdown in its history, less than a day after an explosive interview with a Facebook whistleblower aired on "60 Minutes." We speculate on what Zuckerberg and his dirty partners were doing in their offline interim period and discuss what should be done about this mass surveillance and propaganda system posing as a social media site.

The government may be shutting down – again! Thanks to fatuous GOP concern about the debt ceiling, the government may be shutting down and the Treasury may be out of money by October 18. This is part of a long and destructive pattern.
