In a special one-hour live stream, we bring back many of our guests from
last year’s election day show to discuss what’s changed, what’s stayed
the same, and what we still hope to see happen under Obama.

Elections around the country of course saw nowhere near the turnout of
the presidential race, yet the corporate media still insists on
considering races in Virginia and New Jersey referenda on Obama. What do
the results really mean? And what’s going on in the Obama
administration? We’ll talk to Katrina vanden Heuvel and Chris Hayes of
The Nation, Jehmu Greene of the Women’s Media Center, James
Rucker of Color Of Change, Danny Schechter of News Dissector, Jane
Hamsher of FireDogLake, Mark Green of Air America, Esther Armah of WBAI,
and special guests from the Maine Equality movement and elsewhere.

Time is running out to have your gift matched 

In this time of unrelenting, often unprecedented cruelty and lawlessness, I’m grateful for Nation readers like you. 

So many of you have taken to the streets, organized in your neighborhood and with your union, and showed up at the ballot box to vote for progressive candidates. You’re proving that it is possible—to paraphrase the legendary Patti Smith—to redeem the work of the fools running our government.

And as we head into 2026, I promise that The Nation will fight like never before for justice, humanity, and dignity in these United States. 

At a time when most news organizations are either cutting budgets or cozying up to Trump by bringing in right-wing propagandists, The Nation’s writers, editors, copy editors, fact-checkers, and illustrators confront head-on the administration’s deadly abuses of power, blatant corruption, and deconstruction of both government and civil society. 

We couldn’t do this crucial work without you.

Through the end of the year, a generous donor is matching all donations to The Nation’s independent journalism up to $75,000. But the end of the year is now only days away. 

Time is running out to have your gift doubled. Don’t wait—donate now to ensure that our newsroom has the full $150,000 to start the new year. 

Another world really is possible. Together, we can and will win it!

Love and Solidarity,

John Nichols 

Executive Editor, The Nation
