Sabal Pipeline A Sea Of Bribery & Corruption - Truth Against the Machine
Progressive Bernie-crat Tim Canova, best known for his primary run against disgraced Debbie Wasserman Schultz, recently published an op-ed about the Sabal Trail Pipeline. It’s a project very similar to the Dakota Access Pipeline, with widespread local protests, police brutality and unjust arrests. In a plea to stop the pipeline’s completion, Canova goes into detail about Florida’s unique ecological vulnerabilities, and calls out the dirty money and campaign contributions surrounding the project.
Bernie Bros vs. Rushin' Trolls - Truth Against the Machine
Canadian news junkie that lacks a filter, Ruel James gives progressives the aggressive voice that's been missing for too long.
Why Elites Forgot the Flint CRISIS - Truth Against the Machine
As a journalist, you can often find out more from looking into someone’s eyes than listening to the words out of their mouths. It might sound corny, but on Tuesday night in Flint, Michigan, where I hosted a town hall discussion for The Young Turks, I learned of the utter disaster that never stopped being a disaster by simply looking into the eyes of fallen Americans. These were citizens injured on the battlefields of war—only they never signed up for the army or traveled abroad.
Florida Republicans Lead Fight to Ban Fracking Statewide - Truth Against the Machine
Watch out, corporate Democrats—Republicans are coming after your environmentally-conscious voters. Republican lawmakers in Florida are currently leading the fight to ban fracking statewide. That’s right—Republicans, who have historically denied that climate change is caused by human activity, just upstaged Democrats (like Hillary Clinton) who refuse to run on an anti-fracking platform.

Cuomo 2020? NY Gov Following in Clinton's Footsteps - Truth Against the Machine
Some people probably think living in a solid blue state like New York is like living in some liberal bastion of progressivism where an open and honest government works tirelessly to defeat old conservative policies and proposals. Far from it. In fact, most of the time it feels like you’re living in a shitty mob movie where scandals and bribery abound, closed-door meetings in smoke-filled rooms are commonplace, and way too many of our politicians fancy themselves gangsters and kingpins.
AR Police Maliciously Overcharge Diamond Pipeline Protester - Truth Against the Machine
Tyler Hamilton is an average working-class American who was just arrested on Monday and charged with numerous crimes (including a felony) for his act of non-violent civil disobedience protesting the Diamond Pipeline in Arkansas.
MO Rep LYING to Constituents on Trumpcare - Truth Against the Machine
Rep. Billy Long of MO’s 7th congressional district recently came out of hiding to send a mass e-mail to his constituents backing Trumpcare and bashing the incredibly accurate evaluation the CBO gave it. In his e-mail he claimed “just a little over 10 million Americans were covered” by the Affordable Care Act when in reality 20 million are covered.
Jeff Sessions Goes Low To Stop You From Getting High - Truth Against the Machine
Since his confirmation as Attorney General, Jeff Sessions has made consistent headlines as Americans of all stripes sound the alarms in defense of, most prominently, women’s and immigrants’ rights. Unfortunately, these are just the tip of the iceberg; the majority of his resume is discriminatory or regressive or both. For those who are able to hear over the mainstream media shilling of fake news, sincere alarmism is justified here. The U.S. Attorney General should have a dignified record.

Missouri Sheriff Jim Arnott in Hot Water After Abuse Allegations - Truth Against the Machine
On the January 19th episode of the wildly popular podcast “Guys We F****d: The Anti Slut-Shaming podcast”, comedians Corinne Fisher and Krystyna Hutchinson read an open letter penned to Greene County, MO Sheriff Jim Arnott by a woman named Erica Russell. “Dear Mr. Arnott, my name is Erica Russell, and I am a victim of the Greene County jail. I say “victim” because what you are doing to people in there is well outside the scope of anything anyone could call “law enforcement”.

Currently, Republicans essentially dominate every level of governance in the United States. On the federal level, they control the presidency (Executive branch), have majorities in both the House and Senate (Legislative branch) and possess a de-facto majority vote on the Supreme Court (Judicial branch).

Democrats Make a Critical Mistake in Letting the GOP Distance Itself from Trump - Truth Against the Machine
One of the key mistakes of the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic establishment during the 2016 race was to attempt a divide and conquer strategy on the Republican base. They pushed the narrative that Trump is somehow categorically different from the “standard” Republican (e.g. Jeb Bush), under the belief that they could shave off Republican votes in purple states.

America's Race Hustle - Truth Against the Machine
I flew down to Alabama this past weekend to cover a story that, of course, is getting no national coverage. The Alabama state legislature—which is unsurprisingly predominately old and white—voted in less than 24 hours to block 74% black Birmingham’s bill to raise the minimum wage from the starvation wage of $7.25 to the still unlivable $10.10 an hour.

United States of Anywhere: How Foreign Nations Are Able to Buy Our Elections - Truth Against the Machine
Potential foreign intervention in the American political process has been a huge story lately thanks to the specter of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and President Trump’s cabinet’s connections to Mother Russia. Disturbing as the prospect is of a foreign power using cyber attacks to help put a candidate in the White House, a moment of reflection is necessary.

It replaces the Official Secrets Act through legislation that will have whistleblowers incarcerated for up to 14 years for publishing state information and receiving sensitive material from non-governmental sources.
