The Nation reports on the ongoing challenges posed by the Trump administration, identifying a series of troubling developments. Each week, new issues emerge, further destabilizing both domestic and international landscapes. Trump’s recent “Liberation Day” has disrupted global markets and initiated a constitutional crisis at home. Reports indicate that plainclothes officers are detaining university students on public streets, while individuals labeled as “enemy aliens” are being transported to foreign prisons in defiance of judicial orders. The emerging scandal known as Signalgate sheds light on governmental incompetence and the violent underpinnings of American power.
As prominent educational institutions, legal firms, and media organizations acquiesce to Trump’s tactics, The Nation remains steadfast in holding those in power accountable. In recent weeks, the publication has documented Trump’s outsourcing of deportation efforts to other countries, uncovered his administration’s reliance on obscure legal provisions for implementing repressive measures, and amplified the voices of courageous student activists under pressure from academic institutions.
The publication continues to share stories of those resisting Trump and Musk, through expanding protest movements, town halls nationwide, and pivotal state elections, such as Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race. These efforts illustrate effective opposition to Trumpism and affirm that democracy cannot be easily purchased by figures like Musk.
The Nation emphasizes the crucial role of this form of journalism in 2025, underscoring its reliance on reader support. As a publication funded by its audience, it calls for donations to sustain its independent and essential reporting.
