UNHAPPY BIRTHDAY! | The Nation

Don’t let JD vance silence our independent journalism

On September 15, vice-president JD Vance attacked The nation by hosting The Charlie Kirk Show.

In a clip given millions of times, Vance has chosen The nation In a whistling dog to his far -right disciples. As you would expect, a torrent of abuse followed.

Throughout our 160 years of publication of fierce and independent journalism, we worked with the conviction that dissent is the highest form of patriotism. We were criticized by democratic and republican office holders – and we are delighted that the White House is reading The nation. As long as Vance is free to criticize us and we are free to criticize it, the American experience will continue as it should.

To correct the file on the false allegations of Vance on the source of our funding: The nation is proudly supported by readers by progressives like you who support independent journalism and will not be intimidated by those in power.

Officials of the Vance and Trump administration also established their plans for general repression against progressive groups. Instead of calling for national healing, the administration uses Kirk’s death as a pretext for a concerted attack on Trump’s enemies on the left.

Now we know The nation is at the front and center of their mind.

Your support today will make our critical work possible in the months and years to come. If you believe in the right of the first amendment to maintain a free and independent press, please make a donation today.

With gratitude,

Bhaskar Sunkara
President, The nation
