Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, an
adamant advocate for a real
healthcare reform
, has been vocal about holding Wall Street accountable
for the recent market crash since the very beginning. Now, after a
scandal with head of Citigroup’s energy-trading unit Andrew J. Hall, who
had allegedly been promised $100 million in bonuses, Sanders is growing
even more indignant and impatient with bankers and financiers and yet
again calls for more responsibility on their part. “What we need is a
new type of Wall Street, a Wall Street that is not interested in bubble
economics, in quick speculations but a Wall Street that wants to invest
in America, in our rural economy, rebuilding our manufacturing, creating
descent paying jobs, and not just enriching a handful of people who are
already extremely wealthy,” concludes Sanders.

Hold the powerful to account by supporting The Nation

The chaos and cruelty of the Trump administration reaches new lows each week.

Trump’s catastrophic “Liberation Day” has wreaked havoc on the world economy and set up yet another constitutional crisis at home. Plainclothes officers continue to abduct university students off the streets. So-called “enemy aliens” are flown abroad to a mega prison against the orders of the courts. And Signalgate promises to be the first of many incompetence scandals that expose the brutal violence at the core of the American empire.

At a time when elite universities, powerful law firms, and influential media outlets are capitulating to Trump’s intimidation, The Nation is more determined than ever before to hold the powerful to account.

In just the last month, we’ve published reporting on how Trump outsources his mass deportation agenda to other countries, exposed the administration’s appeal to obscure laws to carry out its repressive agenda, and amplified the voices of brave student activists targeted by universities.

We also continue to tell the stories of those who fight back against Trump and Musk, whether on the streets in growing protest movements, in town halls across the country, or in critical state elections—like Wisconsin’s recent state Supreme Court race—that provide a model for resisting Trumpism and prove that Musk can’t buy our democracy.
