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.

Can we count on you?

In the coming election, the fate of our democracy and fundamental civil rights are on the ballot. The conservative architects of Project 2025 are scheming to institutionalize Donald Trump’s authoritarian vision across all levels of government if he should win.

We’ve already seen events that fill us with both dread and cautious optimism—throughout it all, The Nation has been a bulwark against misinformation and an advocate for bold, principled perspectives. Our dedicated writers have sat down with Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders for interviews, unpacked the shallow right-wing populist appeals of J.D. Vance, and debated the pathway for a Democratic victory in November.
