Trump wants to cut Medicare

Thom Hartmann — Sun, 05 Apr 2026 13:19:09 GMT

The White House released footage of Trump talking about cutting Medicare as he laughs with his subjects during an Easter celebration.

It's ironic that his cultish pastors fawn over him, calling him Jesus, while Jesus' teachings repeatedly prioritize the poor.

If the billionaires actually paid their taxes, maybe Jesus' teaching could be realized in today's world.

American's are Rushing to Buy Electric Vehicles

Thom Hartmann — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 21:49:36 GMT

After Trump's poorly planned attack on Iran rages, gas prices are skyrocketing by the day and driving is becoming too expensive.

Americans are now turning to electric cars, as electricity is WILDLY cheaper than a gallon of oil, while eradicating oil changes, internal automobile issues, and more.

If you’ve been watching and wondering what you can actually do—this is it.

Right now, independent voices are being drowned out by billionaire-owned media machines and political propaganda networks. Thom.TV exists to push back against that—to tell the truth without fear, without permission, and without compromise.

We don’t answer to corporate sponsors.
We don’t take marching orders from political operatives.
And we sure as hell don’t soften the truth to make powerful people comfortable.

But that kind of independence only survives if people like you step up.

If you believe in fearless journalism…
If you’re tired of being lied to…
If you want a voice that actually fights back…

Then now is the moment.

Nigel Peacock — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 23:48:37 GMT

The Pope shamed Pete Hegseth for his so-called "holy war" against Iran, putting the war-monger's hypocrisy on full display. No doubt Hegseth will just ignore Pope Leo's insightful words, or take his rage out on more Americans actually fighting in this illegal war.
