For the last eight years, America has suffered under the burden of having a president with deficiencies of speech and intellect. A John McCain presidency will continue this dishonorable tradition with the added burden of the 75-year old Arizona Senator’s imminent senility. Josh Marshall and the team at Talking Points Memo have compiled a timely video that effectively derails the free ride the Republican candidate has enjoyed in spite of his terrible memory, poor public speaking, and a knowledge of his geopolitical contemporaries that makes Bush look like a master statesman. As Andrew Sullivan writes of the video on his blog at The Atlantic, “It does to McCain on the issue of age what McCain did to Obama on the question of celebrity and alleged elitism.”

Become a Sustaining Donor This September

Between the reemergence of right-wing red-baiting and Donald Trump’s use of the chilling National Security Presidential Memorandum–7 to criminalize left political organizing, we’re seeing McCarthyism reborn before our eyes.

This assault on democracy cannot be ignored or wished away. Resisting it requires bravery in the face of threats and repression, a steadfast commitment to the truth, and the unwavering belief that we can—and will—overcome this darkness.

We must have an independent media that sets the record straight, unearths corruption and abuses of power, and advances a politics of justice and dignity for all if we’re to win this fight.

That’s why I’m writing to you today. This September, The Nation needs to add 100 monthly donors to sustain our progressive journalism. Your contribution makes the next investigative report, the next truth-speaking column, and the next pathbreaking essay all possible. 

I hope you’ll support our work with a recurring donation today. If you donate $10 or more a month, we’ll send you a brand new “Hands Off the Free Press!” sticker to recognise your commitment to our cause. Please, donate today. 

Onward,
