“Giuliani’s Prostate Cancer Figure Is Disputed”
   –Headline in the
New York Times

Again, our Rudy G.’s been busted.
(Statistically, he can’t be trusted.)
His numbers told such whopping lies
You’d think he might apologize.
But he’d see that as weak and vile.
Apologizing’s not his style.
No, being wrong ignites his powder:
He’ll say he’s right, but say it louder.
And so he did. Supporters cringed.
Our Rudy’s tough, or just unhinged.

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
Editor and Publisher, The Nation
