We are BACK! This week we talk to the Coach, Kevin McNutt, about the suspension of track and field star Sha’Carri Richardson for smoking weed, and some NBA Finals observations so far.

We also have Choice Words about Gwen Barry and the GOP’s pathetic attempt at demonizing her. In addition, we have Just Stand Up and Just Sit Down awards to New Orleans native and Scripps Spelling Bee champ Zaila Avant-garde who recently became the first Black American to win such an honor, and several prominent football clubs like Barcelona and Atletico who have decided to play exhibition games in the settler state that is Israel, respectively. All this and more on this week’s show!

Thank you for reading The Nation!

We hope you enjoyed the story you just read, just one of the many incisive, deeply-reported articles we publish daily. Now more than ever, we need fearless journalism that shifts the needle on important issues, uncovers malfeasance and corruption, and uplifts voices and perspectives that often go unheard in mainstream media.

Throughout this critical election year and a time of media austerity and renewed campus activism and rising labor organizing, independent journalism that gets to the heart of the matter is more critical than ever before. Donate right now and help us hold the powerful accountable, shine a light on issues that would otherwise be swept under the rug, and build a more just and equitable future.

For nearly 160 years, The Nation has stood for truth, justice, and moral clarity. As a reader-supported publication, we are not beholden to the whims of advertisers or a corporate owner. But it does take financial resources to report on stories that may take weeks or months to properly investigate, thoroughly edit and fact-check articles, and get our stories into the hands of readers.

Donate today and stand with us for a better future. Thank you for being a supporter of independent journalism.

Thank you for your generosity.
