Today, Wisconsinites go to the polls to see if they can recall enough GOP senators to take back the State Senate from the hands of Scott Walker-pandering Republicans. In ten hours, the people of Wisconsin could the recall six state senators most committed to Walker’s agenda of stripping collective bargaining rights and taking money out of the pockets of Wisconsin workers. This would be an enormous blow to Walker and his big business allies.

The Nation‘s John Nichols joined Ed Schultz live in Madison, Wisconsin last night live from a crowd of cheering, mobilized Wisconsinites, eager to create a victory for Main Street while Wall Street is flailing.

Support independent journalism that exposes oligarchs and profiteers


Donald Trump’s cruel and chaotic second term is just getting started. In his first month back in office, Trump and his lackey Elon Musk (or is it the other way around?) have proven that nothing is safe from sacrifice at the altar of unchecked power and riches.

Only robust independent journalism can cut through the noise and offer clear-eyed reporting and analysis based on principle and conscience. That’s what The Nation has done for 160 years and that’s what we’re doing now.

Our independent journalism doesn’t allow injustice to go unnoticed or unchallenged—nor will we abandon hope for a better world. Our writers, editors, and fact-checkers are working relentlessly to keep you informed and empowered when so much of the media fails to do so out of credulity, fear, or fealty.

The Nation has seen unprecedented times before. We draw strength and guidance from our history of principled progressive journalism in times of crisis, and we are committed to continuing this legacy today.

We’re aiming to raise $25,000 during our Spring Fundraising Campaign to ensure that we have the resources to expose the oligarchs and profiteers attempting to loot our republic. Stand for bold independent journalism and donate to support The Nation today.

Onward,

Katrina vanden Heuvel
