In the initial month of Donald Trump’s new term, he and Elon Musk have demonstrated that no aspect is exempt from the pursuit of unchecked power and wealth. This scenario underscores the necessity of robust independent journalism, which can pierce through the distractions to provide principled and conscientious reporting and analysis.
For 160 years, The Nation has consistently delivered such journalism, maintaining its commitment to highlight injustices and challenge them, without forsaking hope for an improved world. The publication’s team of writers, editors, and fact-checkers are tirelessly working to keep the public informed and empowered, especially when much of the media falls short due to credulity, fear, or allegiance.
The Nation has navigated unprecedented times before, drawing on its history of principled progressive journalism during crises to continue its mission today. Currently, there is a goal to raise $25,000 through the Spring Fundraising Campaign. The intention is to secure the resources needed to expose those oligarchs and profiteers who are attempting to exploit the republic. Support for bold independent journalism is encouraged through donations to The Nation.
Katrina vanden Heuvel, the Editorial Director and Publisher of The Nation, remains committed to this cause.
