Debbie Wasserman Schultz Pretends to "Resist" While Suppressing Resistance - Truth Against the Machine
At an open-forum meeting on Sunday, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz openly pledged allegiance to her donors over single-payer healthcare, but she didn’t stop there–she managed to assist a local chapter of a “progressive resistance movement” in suppressing dissent. Schultz was the headline guest at an anti-Trump resistance meeting held by the South Florida chapter of Indivisible, a relatively new group that sprung up as a result of Trump’s inauguration.
EXPOSED: Debbie Wasserman Schultz Serves Donors Over People On Single Payer - Truth Against the Machine
Disgraced former-DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz just admitted that she likes the idea of single-payer healthcare, in theory—just not in practice, because she’d have to give up the hundreds of thousands of dollars she receives from the corporate healthcare machine.
BREAKING: Sabal Pipeline Is Damaged – Leak Is Inevitable - Truth Against the Machine
In a blatant attempt to cut corners, Sabal Pipeline construction workers haphazardly dug up already buried pipes, DAMAGED THEM, and buried them back in the ground. This not only compromises the integrity of the anti-corrosion coating of the pipeline, but their negligence is setting up THOUSANDS of Floridians for the inevitable leak of methane and other chemicals into their water source.
Jordan's Personal Story From #NoDAPL Little Creek Camp - Truth Against the Machine
I arrived in Williamsburg, Iowa on Thursday, April 13th at Little Creek Camp. The camp, created by an Iowa water protector named Christine Nobiss on February 26th, was formed to fight the Dakota Access Pipeline in Iowa, which currently has several eminent domain cases against the pipeline hovering around the legal system.
Mainsteam Media Ignoring Toxic Nuclear Mess - Truth Against the Machine
Residents of North St. Louis and St. Charles are still haunted by the effects of The Manhattan Project, which led to the production of the United States’ first nuclear weapons during World War II. 8,700 tons of nuclear waste have been sitting on the surface of the West Lake Landfill Superfund Site in Bridgeton, Missouri for almost 44 years now.

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.

Corporate Media Attacking Progressives 2 YEARS BEFORE ELECTION - Truth Against the Machine
The 2018 campaign season is a long way off, the primary dates have yet to be determined, and no polling has been conducted. Nevertheless, Nate Cohn, a data analyst for The New York Times‘ “The Upshot,” and Walter Hickey, chief culture writer for FiveThirtyEight, have already tweeted predictions for the outcome of a Republican Congressional primary in New Jersey.
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.
FL Sen. Bill Nelson Quiet on Sabal Pipeline After Receiving Money From Energy Company - Truth Against the Machine
The Sabal Pipeline, a natural gas line slated to go from Alabama through Orange County, has created chaos among the already polarized Florida House of Representatives. The debate has been long and rigorous since its proposal in 2013. Just kidding, the pipeline went on pretty much unchallenged and construction is wrapping up for a June 2017 completion date.
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.
Why Bernie’s Progressive Narrative Appeals Across Partisan Lines - Truth Against the Machine
This article is a follow up to one I published last week, explaining how many working class red state voters hold policy views that are considerably more liberal than their voting choices.

Trump Supporter Calls for Liberal Genocide - Truth Against the Machine
At least two very deep pocketed industries with stakes in the healthcare policy as well as at least one deep pocketed billionaire have been funding fake grassroots groups for decades who have been getting slicker and slicker. Their goal is shifting the Overton Window, and providing cover for rigged elections.
The Democratic Divide: New Deal Liberalism vs. Neoliberalism - Truth Against the Machine
The Democratic Party has been facing an existential crisis for several months, deciding whether it wants to follow a more liberal populist direction, or continue along the neoliberal path that it has been walking since the late 20th Century. This crisis is causing severe divisions within the party and threatens to create a long-term divide. When people say that they are a “Democrat” this really doesn’t tell you a great deal.
Proposed EPA Budget Cuts Show White Houses Ignorance - Truth Against the Machine
Last week, a day after a record-high 63.5 degrees in Antarctica, we founds out the proposed 25 percent cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) budget would specifically target programs on climate change and programs designed to prevent air and water pollution such as lead contamination. The EPA budget is only $8.1 billion to begin with, which amounts to a meager 0.22 percent of the federal budget.

How the NJ Pinelands Commission became a tool of the fossil fuel industry - Truth Against the Machine
The New Jersey Pinelands covers around 20 percent of the state of New Jersey—the largest pristine, mostly-undeveloped patch of land on the East Coast. It also sits on top of a 17 trillion gallon freshwater aquifer. In 1978, the United States passed the Pinelands Protection Act, making the Pinelands the country’s first officially sanctioned nature reserve. The Pinelands Protection Act created the Pinelands Commission, a bipartisan body containing a board of 15 voting members.
WV Compressor Stations Releasing Cancer Causing Agents - Truth Against the Machine
Generally, its not just not good to expose people to chemicals on an ongoing basis. In addition to sometimes causing illnesses like cancers, exposures can deplete crucial resources in the body (like glutathione) and also by constantly stimulating the immune system into a response, chemical fume/VOC exposures can cause major health problems that stay with people for their whole lives. This happens fairly frequently when they have big spills or when there are a lot of hydrocarbons in an environment.
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.
