Republicans, observing young González
Removed at night, thought they could take some solace
From hearings showing Reno as a baddie.
But now it seems the hearings are on hold,
‘Cause, finally, the leadership’s been told
That people want this boy back with his daddy.

The leader, who is Lott of Mississippi,
Encouraged by the anti-Commie lip he
Could hear from demonstrations on the lawn,
Forgot that folks from Santa Fe to Yonkers
Consider that crowd absolutely bonkers.
At times Trent has some trouble catching on.

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.
