John McCain Is Welcomed Back to the Senate

Well, John, it’s nice to have you back again.
Your colleagues all paid close attention when
You cast all those aspersions on this house.

Well, John, it’s nice to have you back again.
Your colleagues all paid close attention when
You cast all those aspersions on this house.
It’s nice to have you back again (you louse).

Well, John, it’s nice that you have now returned
From leading your crusade–from which we’ve learned
Contributors are those to whom we cater.
It’s nice to have you back again (you traitor).

Well, John, we’re truly glad to see your face.
A pity that you didn’t win your race,
But purity is better, so they say.
So welcome back. We must have lunch someday.

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,

Katrina vanden Heuvel
