Welcome to the new American oligarchy: Trump’s rise was decades in the making
President Donald Trump’s rise is not an anomaly – he is the product of forces set in motion 50 years ago, driven by massive deregulation and key Supreme Court decisions that dismantled a century of safeguards against corporate political spending, explains Thom Hartmann, author of ‘The Hidden History of American Oligarchy.’ Together, these forces steered America toward oligarchy. Trump recognized the cracks in our system—and moved in to exploit them. In this next chapter of America’s story, “Velshi” will track those who wield economic power to undermine everyday Americans–including the tech-industrial complex now occupying the halls of American power.

Trump’s pardoning of anti-abortion attackers sends a clear message: in America, intimidating & harassing women seeking care – & professionals who provide life-saving services – is fair game. Just ask Julie Burkhart, whose Wyoming clinic was set on fire in 2022. She joins me at 10aET. #Velshi

Pete Hegseth is the most incompetent of all Trump’s Cabinet picks. He's an alcoholic serial abuser who is unqualified for the job, and he will make our nation less safe. This was a completely reckless confirmation.

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good.
Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

Footage from last year is now resurfacing of Trump promising to “end inflation” starting on “day one.”
— Egg prices are up.
— Gas prices are up.

Eliminating FEMA would cripple the nation’s ability to respond to disasters and remove a critical lifeline for Americans recovering from wildfires, hurricanes, floods, and more.
We should support Americans in times of crisis, not make it harder for them to get much-needed resources.
