Brave New Films makes a case for the expulsion of Senator Joseph Lieberman from the Democratic caucus in their new video, Joe Lieberman Must Go. When Lieberman ran for re-election of his Senate seat in 2006, he lost the Democratic primary to Ned Lamont. Lieberman subsequently won the general election as an independent, but in recent months, has aligned himself increasingly with the Republican party. The Connecticut senator appeared at the Republican National Convention in September, has alluded to ties between Barack Obama and “domestic terrorist” Bill Ayers, has sung the praises of Republican candidate for president John McCain, and even lent credence to the rumor that Hamas had endorsed Obama. Tell us what you think should be done by voting in our Nation Poll.

Support The Nation’s June Fundraising Campaign

With the midterm elections now firmly upon us, the question is whether Democratic candidates will do more than merely occupy ballot lines as mild alternatives to the red-hot crisis that is Donald Trump.

As Trump spends over $1 billion a day on a globally destabilizing war on Iran and admits that he doesn’t “think about Americans’ financial situation,” millions across the country are struggling with the surging costs of essentials. Democrats must seize this moment and advance bold, small-“d” populist ideas—not settle for cynical caution that once again snatches defeat from the jaws of victory.

The Nation elevates progressive ideas, movements, and elected officials achieving real change across the country into the national conversation. At the same time, our journalists are exposing how crypto and AI-funded super PACs are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to knock out candidates they oppose, reporting on the devastating impact of the Supreme Court’s evisceration of the Voting Rights Act, and sounding the alarm on attempts by red states to quickly redraw electoral maps, disenfranchising Southern Black voters.

We can play this critical role because of support from readers like you. This June, we’re raising $20,000 to power The Nation’s independent journalism in the run-up to November’s immensely consequential elections.

It’s in our power to build a more just society, and your support at this critical moment brings us closer to that bold vision. I hope you’ll donate today.

Onward,
