  • Trump, Sinatra, and My Partner
    May 6 2026
    It’s kind of embarrassing. Donald J. Trump was my business and character reference for my investigations firm, Union Associates, when, in the 1980s, I applied for government contracts. But Frank Sinatra put an end to it.

  • Nuclear Power: A Crime Wave Parading as an Industry
    Apr 28 2026

    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
    Apr 23 2026
    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.
