If we didn’t have ’em tied down in Afghanistan and Iraq, they’d be, you know, somewhere else– in England, or even right here.    –Senator Trent Lott on Fox News

Apparently, he means it’s simply grand
We didn’t win and leave, as we had planned,
Since we can count on Bush–that he’ll endeavor
To keep those people tied down there forever.
In other words, as far as Lott can tell,
This war is really going very well.
Lucky us.

From illegal war on Iran to an inhumane fuel blockade of Cuba, from AI weapons to crypto corruption, this is a time of staggering chaos, cruelty, and violence. 

Unlike other publications that parrot the views of authoritarians, billionaires, and corporations, The Nation publishes stories that hold the powerful to account and center the communities too often denied a voice in the national media—stories like the one you’ve just read.

Each day, our journalism cuts through lies and distortions, contextualizes the developments reshaping politics around the globe, and advances progressive ideas that oxygenate our movements and instigate change in the halls of power.
