Podcast appearances and mentions of Vladimir Putin

At a time when democracy is under siege from Kremlin-backed strongmen to MAGA disinformation machines, this week's Gaslit Nation bonus show offers much-needed hope. We unpack the NATO summit, celebrate a major grassroots victory in New York City, and also discuss how to contain Russia with security expert Candace Rondeaux, author of Putin's Sledgehammer. First up: NATO is finally stepping up. All member nations, except Spain, have committed 5% of their GDP to defense and security by 2035. Predictably, Trump is already trying to take credit, but this shift isn't about him. It's a direct response to Putin's ongoing war in Ukraine. European leaders have learned how to handle Trump's ego: offering flattery when necessary while quietly strengthening defenses against the very aggression he once downplayed. That's not concession; it's strategic diplomacy. Meanwhile, in New York City, there's real reason to celebrate: Zohran Mamdani's victory in the Democratic primary for mayor is a major win for grassroots organizing and progressive politics. His campaign, alongside Brad Lander and others, championed public investment, reallocated resources from the NYPD's military-sized budget, and pushed back against Fox News crime porn fearmongering and disinformation. It's a clear signal that authentic, coalition-driven campaigns have the power to break through. Is the Democratic Party establishment listening? And finally, don't miss our powerful conversation with Candace Rondeaux, who outlines how to contain Russian fascism and the ongoing threat of the Wagner Group. As we're always saying at Gaslit Nation: fascists don't stop until they're stopped. Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?

As Israel-Iran Ceasefire Holds, NATO Launches A Massive Escalation In Ukraine-Russia War By Crossing Putin's Red Line, The Senate Guts Trump's BBB, Deportations Explode, Autopen Investigation Heats Up

Ještě před pár týdny to vypadalo, že o příštím složení Sněmovny může rozhodnout situace na ukrajinském bojišti. Vláda Petra Fialy (ODS) byla v tomto směru velmi naléhavá. Dokázala nejen své voliče přesvědčit, že Evropanům včetně Čechů nemůže být jedno, zda si Vladimir Putin uloupne kus cizího území a projde mu to bez odporu.

With the world on the brink of another war, there's no one more essential to hear from than Anne Applebaum, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and author of Gulag, Iron Curtain, Red Famine (which cites Andrea's grandfather, a Holodomor survivor), Twilight of Democracy, and Autocracy Inc. In this urgent conversation, we go to the frontlines of authoritarianism, from MAGA's playbook at home to Putin's alliances abroad, from Orban's Hungary to the rising threat of war with Iran. We begin in Poland. In 2023, a broad democratic coalition ousted the far-right, anti-LGBTQ+ Law and Justice party, which had spent years eroding democratic institutions. But in a razor-thin presidential race this year, that same authoritarian force clawed its way back. The takeaway? Democracy isn't a destination. It's a constant, high-stakes battle. “Everybody always wants to write the story of populism and say that it's over, or it's here for good, or we're finished, or we've won. And that's not what the story is going to look like,” says Applebaum. “This is the ongoing struggle that all of us will be in, probably for the next few decades, maybe into the foreseeable future. The argument about the nature of the state is now here with us. And neither one side nor the other has achieved a definitive victory, I would say, either in Europe or in the United States.” Then, Iran. Trump launched airstrikes without congressional approval or public debate, risking another U.S. war. Many in the Iranian opposition welcome blows to the brutal regime, but without strategy or legality, this is more of Trump's lawless chaos. Meanwhile, Putin watches. His alliance with Iran is not ideological, but tactical, with one shared mission: destabilize democracies and sow chaos worldwide. Applebaum discusses how Hungary became the MAGA model, what Poland's resistance can teach the U.S., and why the fight for democracy is far from over. This isn't a time for hope alone. It's a time to act. Because autocracy isn't resting. And neither can we. Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?

Millions of people in more than a hundred countries march at Pride festivities each year. Attendees come mostly to express support for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans gender, queer and intersex people — the LGBTQI+ community. And although Pride may be on every continent, there's a swathe of countries where Pride still is not freely celebrated. Take Russia, where a court last decade issued a one-hundred-year ban on Pride events. Or Turkey, where police in recent years have been harassing, attacking and detaining activists and members of the LGBTQ+ community. And then there's Hungary, which is inside the EU but out of step with its laws and values. This year Hungary's illiberal prime minister Viktor Orbán said he intended to stop Pride in the capital Budapest, on the pretext of child-protection. Under-18s are supposedly at risk from so-called displays of homosexuality, displays that themselves were banned four years ago. That's a direct echo of Russia's anti-LGBT statute on Protecting Children and Traditional Family Values signed into law by Vladimir Putin more than a decade ago. This month Hungarian police duly imposed the Budapest ban that Orbán called for. And they added a dystopian touch: facial recognition technology. Attendees identified at Budapest Pride could face fines of 500 euros; they also could face neofascist thugs from far-right splinter groups. But Budapest mayor Gergely Karácsony says this year's event is going ahead this weekend just the same. After all, Budapest has had Pride marches for the best part of three decades. It's also worth recalling that Pride was born out of state repression. The first marches were held in the early 70s in a handful of US cities to mark the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. That name, Stonewall, comes from a bar, the Stonewall Inn, in New York City's Greenwich Village. The gay and transgender patrons of the Stonewall had grown sick of police harassment and abuse, and their uprising in 1969 still marks a key moment for civil rights movements everywhere. One beneficiary of such hard-won victories is Marc Angel, one of five so-called Quaestors at the European Parliament overseeing matters affecting the chamber's 705 members. Marc is a Socialist from Luxembourg and also co-president of the European Parliament's intergroup on LGBTIQ+ rights. For him, this weekend's Budapest Pride events amount to a protest — a protest against bogus limits on freedom of assembly in Hungary, and a protest against an international anti-gender movement, backed by Russia, supported by US ultraconservatives, and aimed at polarizing societies and weakening democracy.Support the show

One of Iran's closest allies outside the Middle East is Russia. So, why did Vladimir Putin decide not to come to Tehran's aid and provide military support as Israel and then America worked to destroy its nuclear program? Today, Anna Borshchevskaya from the Washington Institute, an expert in Russia's policy in the Middle East, on what the war means for Moscow and whether Putin might help Iran to rebuild its nuclear capacity.Featured: Anna Borshchevskaya, senior fellow at the Washington Institute

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- On Saturday night, seven U.S. B-2 bombers dropped a total of fourteen 30,000-pound bunker-buster bombs on Iranian nuclear sites in Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan. In a press conference following the strategic strike, President Donald Trump called the mission a “spectacular military success.” 3:10pm- On Monday, Iran responded to U.S. strikes on key nuclear development facilities by launching missiles at an American base in Qatar—the largest American military installation in the Middle East. The Defense Department has said the air defense systems intercepted the missiles and there were no U.S. casualties. 3:20pm- During a press conference Sunday night, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Dan Caine revealed that Iranian air defense never spotted the American B-2 bombers over Iranian airspace and, consequently, never fired a single shot during Saturday night's strategic bombing. 3:30pm- Deputy Head of Russian President Vladimir Putin's Security Council Dmitry Medvedev called America's strike on Iranian nuclear facilities a “dangerous escalation” and suggested other countries may supply Iran with a nuclear weapon—though, he did not say which nations. 3:40pm- Secretary of State Marco Rubio has warned Iran not to shut down the Strait of Hormuz with mines. China, an ally of Iran, has echoed a similar sentiment. According to estimates 84% of the crude oil that moves through the Strait goes to Asian markets.

Today's Headlines: Iran officially retaliated for the U.S. bombing of its nuclear sites by launching missiles at a U.S. base in Qatar—none hit, thanks to Qatari defenses. President Trump thanked Iran for the “early notice” and mocked the attack as “very weak,” while urging oil producers to keep prices down and demanding the Energy Department “DRILL BABY DRILL.” Trump later declared a 12-hour ceasefire between Israel and Iran, claiming the war is over. Reporting revealed he was warned by Iran of potential sleeper cell attacks in the U.S. and used vague public statements to mask his true plans. His decision to strike was reportedly influenced by Fox News coverage and online sentiment, leading one military official to call him the “biggest threat to operational security.” Globally, Iran's foreign minister met with Putin, who condemned the strikes but didn't pledge support. Meanwhile, Russia, China, and Pakistan introduced a UN resolution condemning the U.S., which America is expected to veto. Japan and South Korea pulled out of the NATO summit, citing the Middle East conflict. Domestically, the Supreme Court ruled 6–3 to allow Trump's administration to deport migrants to third countries, and the administration also overrode a federal judge's order to release smuggling suspect Kilmar Abrego Garcia. ICE had already planned to detain him regardless. In finance, FICO announced it will start factoring buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) loans into credit scores, affecting 90+ million Americans—raising concerns over debt risk in an already fragile consumer economy.

Laurie Taylor talks to Nina Khrushcheva, Professor of International Affairs at The New School in New York City about her research into the propaganda formulas deployed by Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin over the last two decades. As the great granddaughter of Nikita Khrushchev, the Prime Minister of the Soviet Union between 1958 and 1964, she offers personal, as well as political insights, into these developments, drawing on previous periods of oppression in Russian history. She argues that Russia's invasion of Ukraine has intensified 'hard' propaganda, leading to a pervasive presence of military images in every day life and the rehabilitation of Josef Stalin, the former dictator of the Soviet Union, as a symbol of Russian power. She suggests that lessons from past eras, described by such Soviet classics as Alexander Solzhenitsyn's The Gulag Archipelago, can offer small grounds for optimism and hope, as ordinary people absorb alternative narratives. How else to explain the fact that George Orwell's dystopian novel, 1984, has been a bestseller for many years and has seen a surge in popularity since the start of the war in Ukraine?Producer: Jayne Egerton

In February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. China has never condemned the invasion, and its government and media have carefully avoided using term “Ukraine War,” opting instead to refer to the war as the “Ukraine crisis,” the “Russia-Ukraine conflict,” or the “special military operation,” a term that echoes Moscow's language. Beijing's approach to the Ukraine War has included support for Russia, a commitment China's own principles, including respecting Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and a professed desire for peace.This episode's discussion will focus on China's evolving posture toward the war and China's relationship with Ukraine. Joining the podcast this episode is Dr. Vita Golod, who is a Junior Research Fellow at the A. Yu Krymskyi Institute of Oriental Studies, National Academy Sciences of Ukraine, and a Visiting Adjunct Instructor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.She is also the co-founder of the Ukrainian Platform for Contemporary China and a board member of the Ukrainian Association of Sinologists.  Timestamps[00:00] Start[01:35] China's Relationship with Ukraine Prior to Russia's Invasion[05:06] President Zelenskyy's Accusations Against China [08:20] Contemporary Ukrainian Perceptions of Relations with China [12:14] Ukrainian Perceptions of Sino-Russian Relations[16:25] China as a Mediator and Peacemaker[19:06] China's Interests in the Outcome of the Russo-Ukrainian War[21:21] What concrete steps could China take to facilitate peace? [23:14] China's Role in the Post-War Reconstruction of Ukraine[28:08] The Future of Sino-Ukrainian Relations

Kriege im Osten. Risse im Westen. Und mittendrin der NATO-Gipfel in Den Haag. Da sitzen die USA und Europa an einem Tisch, dessen Tuch der amerikanische Präsident an manchen Tagen gerne zerschneiden würde. Gerade erst hat Donald Trump über die Köpfe europäischer Regierungen hinweg Militär-Angriffe auf den Iran befohlen, an der Seite Israels. Und hat damit europäische Bemühungen um eine diplomatische Lösung des Konflikts torpediert. Auch im Ukraine-Krieg direkt nebenan kann Europa nicht mehr auf seine bisherige Schutzmacht zählen. Was bedeutet es für die aktuellen Kriege, im Nahen Osten und im Osten Europas, wenn im Westen mehr denn je umstritten ist, wann die Waffen sprechen sollen und wann die Diplomatie? „Wenn du den Frieden willst, bereite den Krieg vor.“ Nach diesem alten Grundsatz will die NATO als Militärbündnis mit Aufrüstung für die Sicherheit ihrer Mitgliedsstaaten sorgen. Aber weit darüber hinaus reicht die Frage, wie und mit welchen Folgen ein begonnener Krieg beendet werden kann - und welches Ende welchen Frieden nach sich zieht. Im Gespräch sind wir mit unseren Auslandsstudios für den Iran und die USA, mit Ralph D. Thiele, Oberst a.D. und Vorsitzender der Politisch-Militärischen Gesellschaft e.V., außerdem mit Jörn Leonhard, Historiker und Autor des Buches “Über Kriege und wie man sie beendet”. Podcast-Tipp: WDR 5 - punktEU - Der Europa-Podcast Ukraine-Krieg, massive Aufrüstung und Donald Trump - nie stand die NATO vor so großen Herausforderungen.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 140: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: We join the Trump Dictatorship, already in progress. He has attacked Iran, declared undeclared war on Iran, denied he wanted regime change there and is now insisting there should be regime change. And it's all because he has lost America. The Economist polling that has his OVERALL approval underwater in FIFTEEN states… that HE WON LAST YEAR. SEVEN under in Pennsylvania, FOUR under in Georgia, FOUR under in North Carolina, eight under in Michigan, eight under in Pennsylvania. Even CNN’s pollster Harry Enten says “I think we can say Trump has lost the political battle when it comes to what has happened in Los Angeles." CNN has Trump at -15 approval on his key issue: immigration, and -24 among independents. Trump attacked Iran because he has lost America. As a political observer wrote on January 17, 2012, “Obama will attack Iran in order to get re-elected.” And the SAME political observer wrote on October 9, 2012, “Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate.” And the SAME political observer then wrote on September 16 2013 “I predict that President Obama will at some point attack Iran in order to save face,” and as the SAME political observer wrote on September 25, 2013 “Remember what I previously said, Obama will some day attack Iran in order to show how tough he is,” and how finally that SAME political observer wrote on November 10 2013 “Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly – not skilled” – and that political observer was… Donald J. Trump. I'll analyze the consequences of Trump's unconstitutional act - including angering Putin - and the hilarious moment when Pete Hegseth got the location of the target wrong. Plus Trump's nonsensical "I'd especially like to thank God," his lies about being opposed to Iraq, and the small victory: the Senate parliamentarian says they have to strip from the budget bill the move to limit the courts' ability to restrain Trump. B-Block (37:32) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: It's like Champions Week on Jeopardy: Mayor Eric Adams keeps digging, Jake Tapper keeps digging, and Stephen A. Smith is digging so hard to align himself with the reprehensible Candace Owens that at this rate Smith will be forcing ESPN to fire him. C-Block (50:45) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Of all the things you don't expect to come up on Jason Benetti's Detroit Tigers telecast is not one but two ex-pitchers confessing they still have dreams - thirty years later - that the anthem is playing, they are supposed to be pitching, but they cannot find their uniforms or that their shoelaces have been tied together. I'll explain why the mini-PTSD dream has become a nostalgic dream for these guys from my cohort: Frank Tanana, Dan Petry, and me.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

UKRAINE: IRAN CONFERS WITH PUTIN. JOHN HARDIE, BILL ROGGIO, FDD. 1870 TEHRAN

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:   President Trump shocks the world with a surprise strike on Iran's nuclear program, targeting three major sites in a high-risk overnight operation.   As Iran reels from the attacks, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei reportedly names three possible successors in case he's killed—breaking with decades of tradition.   Vladimir Putin ramps up tensions in Europe, declaring that all of Ukraine belongs to Russia and threatening nuclear retaliation if the West intervenes.   And in today's Back of the Brief—Pakistan says it will nominate President Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize, citing his role in easing tensions with India.   To listen to the show ad-free, become a premium member of The President's Daily Brief by visiting PDBPremium.com.

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin:  First, Iran has launched a direct missile attack on U.S. forces stationed at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. The retaliation comes as President Donald Trump floats the possibility of regime change, and Israel shifts their military focus to targeting Iran's government sites and domestic security apparatus. Later in the show—as his government buckles under the weight of Israeli and U.S. military bombardment, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei is turning to his supposed friends in Russia for help, begging for assistance in an increasingly desperate attempt to cling to power. But will Vladimir Putin offer anything more than empty words? We'll have the details. To listen to the show ad-free, become a premium member of The President's Daily Brief by visiting PDBPremium.com.

Months after anti-Putin activist Alexei Navalny died in a Russian prison, his wife, Yulia Navalnaya, now the leading figure of his political movement, spoke with correspondent Lesley Stahl in Navalnaya's first U.S. interview about her late husband's posthumous memoir. Navalnaya discussed the book – Navalny's last act of defiance against the Kremlin, which chronicles his final three years behind bars under often brutal conditions – and his death, which she blames on Russian president Vladimir Putin. She details Alexei's clandestine operation for penning the memoir inside a high-security prison and then smuggling it out; why the couple decided to return to Russia after Navalny was poisoned; and her daring campaign for justice in the wake of his death. Each year, about 2 million Americans receive a bill from the Social Security Administration, saying they were paid too much in benefits and must pay it back. Even if the error is not their fault, they often still have to pay. Correspondent Anderson Cooper reports on how some elderly and disabled people have been burdened with tens of thousands of dollars in debt. Correspondent Cecilia Vega travels to the U.K. for an intimate portrait of actor Kate Winslet, Hollywood's most non-Hollywood A-lister, and discusses her transformative journey to starring in and producing her film, “Lee.” Winslet, who has been a vocal advocate against the insults and inequalities facing women in the film industry, relies on this experience for the role, portraying American photographer Lee Miller, who worked for Vogue as one of the few female war correspondents on the frontline of WWII. As Vega discovers, Winslet and Miller share a resilience and see the world through a similar lens, making her connection more than just a role.

Middle East conflict continues to escalate, US strikes three Iranian nuclear sites, world awaiting Iran’s next move. Plus, Putin meets with Iranian foreign minister. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Der iranische Außenminister droht den USA mit „ewigen Konsequenzen“ und berät sich mit Putin. Ein Gegenschlag könnte auch das Bundeswehr-Kontingent im Nord-Irak treffen. Welche Optionen hat das angeschlagene Mullah-Regime? Eine Analyse.

Putin has condemned the U.S. strikes on Iran, calling them unprovoked aggression without justification.

Das Verhältnis zwischen Russland und Nordkorea könnte derzeit besser nicht sein. Diktator Kim Jong-un schickt Raketen und Soldaten zur Unterstützung der russischen Invasoren-Armee in die Ukraine. Autokraten-Kumpel Wladimir Putin lässt wieder Züge nach Nordkorea fahren und Post über die Grenze fliegen - und hat möglicherweise sogar beim Wiederaufbau von Kims Kriegsschiff geholfen.Moderation?

There is a range of serious practical problems that an end to the war in Ukraine -- whenever that may be -- will pose for the Kremlin. However, if the Soviet war in Afghanistan is any comparison, arguably every bit as important will be the narratives, how people frame the war and use it to attack or defend Putin's regime. I feel this is a political challenge they are not well suited to master.My report Trouble at home: Russia's looming demobilization challenge can be downloaded from the Global Initiative site here.The podcast's corporate partner and sponsor is Conducttr, which provides software for innovative and immersive crisis exercises in hybrid warfare, counter-terrorism, civil affairs and similar situations.You can also follow my blog, In Moscow's Shadows, and become one of the podcast's supporting Patrons and gain question-asking rights and access to exclusive extra materials including the (almost-) weekly Govorit Moskva news briefing right here. Support the show

5 Minute News Update: US GIVES FINAL ULTIMATUM TO IRAN, IRANIAN FORCES DESTROYED! Breaking War News With The Enforcer The United States has now issued it's final ultimatum to the Islamic Republic of Iran, demanding a dismantling of all nuclear programs and technology in their country along with a complete halt on missile development. The Iranians already refused both ultimatums earlier in the day before the Ultimatum was even made officially. US forces are flooding into the middle east in a heavy stream now as Israeli bombardments target and destroy Iranian air defenses and military sites throughout the day. The Enforcer 433K subscribers Started streaming 100 minutes ago After last night's airstrikes in the LAvizan neighbrohood which got close to killing the Supreme Leader of Iran Ali Khameini, he is now going radio silent in hopes it will make it more difficult for Israel or the US to target and kill him in the future. Meanwhile in Ukraine the Ukrainian armed forces continue to defend the cities of Pokrovsk and Toretsk from ongoing Russian offensives. Today, Putin once again began reasserting the claim that all of Ukraine will become a part of the Russian Federation, and even stated that "Wherever a Russian soldier has set foot is our land," making it clear that his ambitions do remain in control of all of eastern europe.

With the world on edge over the escalating Iran-Israel conflict, Jo sits down with national security expert and former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Joel Rubin for a deeply human conversation about what's really happening behind the headlines. As Trump's stance on U.S. involvement in the region shifts by the hour, swinging from “no new wars” to openly hinting at strikes alongside Israel, Joel explains the risks, the ripple effects, and the consequences for American families.Together, they unpack why Trump's impulsive foreign policy is leaving allies, adversaries, and even his own party guessing; how the collapse of the Iran nuclear deal set the stage for today's crisis; and what a potential U.S. strike could mean for global security, oil prices, and the safety of American service members. They also tackle the chaos in Washington, the influence of pro-Putin voices, and the anxiety so many Americans are feeling as talk of war and nuclear threats dominates the news. Hosted on Acast.

Michael Calvey (Odyssey Moscow: One American's Journey from Russia Optimist to Prisoner of the State) is an investor, businessman, and author. Michael joins the Armchair Expert to discuss how the Soviet Union existed when he climbed the the matterhorn but had fallen by the time he came down, learning that contact lenses freeze inside one's eyes in Russian temperatures, and being an early tech investor in the Russian during its big recession. Michael and Dax talk about his apartment being deliberately set on fire by rivals, being raided and arrested by armed men in the middle of the night, and feeling betrayed by believing so much in a country that wrongly imprisoned him. Michael explains discovering he had a malignant tumor in his leg while behind bars, what the average Russian citizen thinks of Putin, and why writing this book was both cathartic and cheaper than therapy.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

On this episode, Richard Whillet unravels a deep web of connections stretching from Epstein's DNA experiments with George Church to the hidden agendas behind Palantir's role in the LA Riots and its $30M ICE contract. They dig into Epstein's mysterious New Mexico Zorro Ranch, rumored ties to Dulce Base, Trementina vaults, and Los Alamos. The conversation spirals into occult territory with the homunculus myths of Rosemary's Baby and Crowley's Moonchild, before surfacing in the elite playgrounds of St. Barts and St. Thomas—linking Epstein, Diddy, and Mike Jeffries.

This week, Gaslit Nation welcomes a leading expert on the future of warfare and U.S. national security Candace Rondeaux, author of the new book Putin's Sledgehammer: The Wagner Group and Russia's Collapse into Mercenary Chaos. Before there was Trump vs. Musk, there was Putin vs. Prigozhin. It turns out the oligarchs trying to kill us are just a couple of scorpions trapped in a jar.    Two years ago this June 23rd, Yevgeny Prigozhin led an armed mutiny of his infamous Wagner group, getting within 125 miles (200 km) of Moscow. In her book and this gripping conversation, Rondeaux unpacks what Wagner really is—and what it isn't—debunking the myths surrounding Russia's most infamous mercenary network. Wagner's mutiny marked the first real crack in Putin's power in decades. Prigozhin wasn't an outsider—he was Putin's creation. Funded. Protected. Enabled. And ultimately? Eliminated. On August 23rd, exactly two months later, his plane exploded above Russia, killing him and his inner circle.A special message from Gaslit Nation:  We enthusiastically endorsed New York City Comptroller Brad Lander for Mayor, ranking him as our top vote. Listen to our discussion with Lander from May here. Lander recently became the latest Democratic official detained by ICE's masked agents—Trump's gestapo—while defending the rights of the vulnerable. As Gaslit Nation warned after the election, Trump will lash out at “blue” sanctuary cities, to attempt to terrorize us into submission. It won't work. More on this in Thursday's bonus show, where we discuss what comes next—including impeachment. Stay tuned.   Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?
