  Pacifica News: Trump’s Attack on Mail-in Ballots 28.08.2026 11dk

  📬 You're asking postmen to suddenly become election officials, and they’ve taken an oath that they deliver the mail. You can't have a law that says we're telling our postal workers to violate their own contracts. If you're a postman, delivering the mail is kind of your thing. It’s contractual and it's also the law of the land.  🗳️ Learn how to #SaveYourVote: https://SaveYourVote.org

  Going Postal: The Fight Over Mail-In Ballots 26.08.2026 25dk

  The Supreme Court has temporarily cleared a major legal hurdle for Trump’s Executive Order 14399 targeting mail-in voting — but SCOTUS did not rule on whether the order itself is constitutional or lawful. In its August 24 decision, Trump v. California, the Court said the states challenging the order had not established the legal standing necessary to block it at this stage. Other court orders still prevent the full implementation of the EO, leaving the rules — and their impact on the 2026 elections —far from settled. Trump’s anti-mail-in ballot Executive Order directs the creation of state citizenship lists and calls for the US Postal Service to develop new procedures. The order states: “USPS shall not transmit mail-in or absentee ballots from any individual unless those individuals have been enrolled on a State-specific list.” In this episode of the Election Crimes Bulletin, investigative reporter Greg Palast and Flashpoints host Dennis Bernstein examine what these changes could mean for voters, election officials and the Postal Service. Palast argues that relying on inaccurate and incomplete government records to verify citizenship could create barriers for millions of eligible voters, while new USPS requirements could introduce confusion and logistical problems just weeks before ballots begin moving through the mail. The discussion goes beyond the immediate court ruling to ask a larger question: What happens when major changes to the way Americans vote are introduced so close to an election — and what can voters do to make sure their ballots are counted?

  Election Crimes Bulletin: Special Save Your Vote Preview Edition 24.08.2026 22dk

  What happens when voter purges, restrictions on mail-in voting, disappearing ballot drop boxes, and new proof-of-citizenship requirements collide? In this edition of the Election Crimes Bulletin, investigative journalist Greg Palast joins Flashpoints host Dennis Bernstein to give listeners an exclusive preview of his new “Jim Crow Reloaded” project, which highlights the growing number of obstacles that could prevent millions of Americans from casting their ballots. Palast highlights several issues, including:🗳️ Voter-roll purges that can remove eligible voters📬 Increasing attacks and restrictions on mail-in voting📦 The closure and reduction of ballot drop boxes in some communities📮 Pressure on the U.S. Postal Service, including demands to withhold mail-in ballots unless voters appear on DOGE-approved citizenship lists 📄 New citizenship-document requirements that could create additional barriers for voters who lack passports or original birth certificates 👰‍♀️ New ID requirements that could block millions of married women who changed their name. Palast argues that these issues can compound one another—making it harder for people to register, receive a ballot, return it, or cast their vote in person. ▶️  Listen, share, stay informed, and learn how to navigate these obstacles and protect your vote at SaveYourVote.org #Flashpoints #GregPalast #JimCrowReloaded #SaveYourVote #VotingRights #USPS #MailInVoting #Election2026 #Democracy

  The Chauncey DeVega Show: Palast Explains Trump's Plot Against Democracy 04.08.2026 22dk

  Don’t be lulled into complacency by the mockery surrounding Donald Trump’s claims about election "fraud," the Big Lie, or his insistence that he won the 2020 election.And please, don’t take the Democrats winning in the upcoming midterms as a given because of Trump’s sagging poll numbers.The plot against American democracy and freedom is accelerating.On this episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show, Greg Palast argues that Trump's recent speech on election "security" and "fraud" should not be dismissed simply because it contained false claims.Instead, Palast says it reflects what he describes as a decades-old strategy of voter purges and voter suppression aimed at key Democratic voting blocs, including Black, Hispanic, and women voters.   Palast also discusses his concerns about the proposed SAVE Act and other election-related measures, explaining why he believes they could have significant consequences for future elections if enacted or implemented.   For more from Palast, subscribe to his Substack: https://gregpalastinvestigates.substack.com   Support independent journalism, buy Greg a coffee: https://buy.stripe.com/14kdRh1QhgDi34s4gh   Subscribe to the Chauncey DeVega Show: https://www.patreon.com/thechaunceydevegashow

  The Welcome Table: Greg Palast interviews Josh Fox 13.07.2026 45dk

  In his new film, The Welcome Table, Josh Fox has traded the point-and-shoot of his seminal Gasland for lush cinematography on five continents. But it ain’t some Discovery Channel travelogue. Fox has brilliantly melded the burning issues of immigration and climate change. Even if you just think global warming is a bunch of hot air (pun intended), this documentary will just knock you out.

  Nuclear Power: A Crime Wave Parading as an Industry 28.04.2026 26dk

  This explosive interview between investigative journalist Greg Palast and KPFK Solartopia host Harvey Wasserman dives deep into the shocking hidden realities of nuclear power. Palast has led investigations of multi-billion-dollar frauds in the nuclear power industry, while Wasserman, is an author, activist and expert on all things nuclear. Between them, the pair have insider knowledge on the industry going back decades, with Wasserman serving as a whistleblower in one of Palast’s most incendiary investigations. During this not-to-be-missed conversation, the duo share sharp criticism of slapdash safety practices, inside info on industry cover-ups, and the staggering concealed economic costs behind reactor projects. From chaotic construction and flawed backup systems, to the disturbing facts belying the sanitized fiction released to the public in defense of disasters like Fukushima, the conversation challenges mainstream narratives and raises a bigger question: in a world of rapidly advancing renewable energy, is nuclear power not just risky—but fundamentally uncompetitive?

  Why Trump’s #2 at FEMA, Gregg Phillips, who claims he teleported to a Waffle House, is no joke 23.04.2026 11dk

  Gregg Phillips’ group, True the Vote, challenged over 300,000 voters in 2024, crucial to Trump’s victory.   How can they do that? True the Vote is using old Jim Crow laws that allow any voter to challenge another voter’s ballot.   And now, ahead of the next election, Phillips is training literally 40,000 MAGA vote challengers who’ve exchanged white sheets for spreadsheets.   Get the full story: https://gregpalastinvestigates.substack.com/p/mr-colbert-im-not-laughing-anymore   For more from Palast, subscribe to his Substack: https://gregpalastinvestigates.substack.com   Support independent journalism, buy Greg a coffee: https://buy.stripe.com/14kdRh1QhgDi34s4gh

  Trump: The Pirate of Hormuz 08.04.2026 25dk

  There is nothing new under the sun. Five centuries ago, the Portuguese conquistadors imposed a toll (“cartaz”) for ships trying to get through the Strait of Hormuz. Yet Trump and Hegseth didn’t know what every ship captain has known for centuries: the importance of securing the Strait. And the wee problem with Trump’s plan to collect passage tolls in partnership with Iran is that it violates international laws against piracy.   Get the full story: https://gregpalastinvestigates.substack.com/p/trump-the-pirate-of-hormuz/   For more from Palast, subscribe to his Substack:https://gregpalastinvestigates.substack.com   Support independent journalism, buy Greg a coffee: https://buy.stripe.com/14kdRh1QhgDi34s4gh

  Hormuz Blues: Bush should show Trump how you seize another nation’s oil 22.03.2026 10dk

  In one of my most elaborate undercover operations for BBC Newsnight, I got my hands on the secret plans for the invasion. Nope, not Trump's attack on Iran. It was 2004 and the plan was secretly drafted BEFORE George W. Bush invaded Iraq. I’m only bringing up 20-year-old history to tell you that, while Bush’s hidden plan for the oil fields of Iraq evidenced greedy secret scheming to grab Iraq’s oil industry, at least we could say this: EVEN GEORGE BUSH HAD A PLAN. So no, I have not uncovered Trump’s secret plans for the invasion of Iran, or his plan to protect the world’s oil supply, BECAUSE TRUMP HAS NO PLAN. The only thing more evil than a secret plan is to have no plan at all.

  Remembering Rev. Jesse Jackson: Greg Palast Reflects on 50 Years of Friendship 20.02.2026 20dk

  Investigative Journalist Greg Palast talks to Rick Smith. The Rev. Jesse Jackson, civil rights icon and two-time presidential candidate, passed away on February 17, 2026, at age 84, surrounded by family. On The Rick Smith Show, host Rick Smith welcomed longtime friend and investigative journalist Greg Palast for an emotional tribute. Palast, a New York Times bestselling author known for exposing voter suppression, shared intimate stories from their five-decade alliance forged at a United Auto Workers event. Palast recalled their first meeting 50 years ago, both young activists championing labor’s role in progressive change. “He always called me ‘young man,’ even when I was 73,” Palast said, noting Jackson’s insistence on early morning calls despite Parkinson’s, which limited his speech after 2 p.m. Just last week in Chicago, Palast planned to meet Jackson for 2026 voting rights strategies, sensing it was “end game” but committed to the fight. Command Performances and Unyielding Activism Jackson commanded action, summoning Palast from Europe for his film Vigilantes Inc.: America’s New Vote Suppression Hitmen premiere at the 2024 Democratic Convention in Chicago. Wheelchair bound but defiant, Jackson stayed through the screening and Q&A, pounding his armrest when aides tried to leave. They cowrote an op-ed on vote suppression and even collaborated on the bestselling comic Steal Back Your Vote, available free at GregPalast.com. Palast highlighted Jackson’s labor ties post-Martin Luther King Jr., walking picket lines and allying with unions against corporate thieves like Chicago’s utilities. He praised Jackson’s “rainbow coalition” empathy for the underclass, Black, white, poor, seeing race as a class marker exploited by billionaires. Their work smashed programs like Interstate Crosscheck, with Rainbow/PUSH continuing under leaders like attorney C.K. Hoffler and daughter Santita Jackson. A Legacy for Ordinary Fighters Palast rejected portraying Jackson as “extraordinary.” From humble Greenville, South Carolina roots, Jackson was “an ordinary guy” who volunteered with King in Chicago’s economic justice push and refused to stop. He dismissed critics like Elizabeth Warren who overlooked him, emphasizing his role in history like the Selma bridge marches, stories even young staff need to hear. “Is he replaceable?” Smith asked. Palast urged, “You are the leader.” Jackson’s marching orders? March yourself, don’t wait for icons. His cussedness lives in ongoing fights against vigilante vote challenges targeting voters of color. As Palast kissed Jackson’s forehead at that final screening, feeling goodbye, the message endures. Battles don’t end, carry them on.   Watch the Rainbow PUSH edition of The Best Democracy Money Can Buy featuring Reverend Jackson. Get the DVD, download, or stream it for free.
