A big night for The Nation on MSNBC: The Nation‘s Editor & Publisher Katrina vanden Heuvel will be on MSNBC’s The Ed Show (6PM ET) at the top of the show tonight discussing the politics of BP – accountability and energy policy in the wake of the oil spill. The Nation‘s Contributing writer and new blogger Jeremy Scahill will be on MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann tonight live from Blackwater CEO Erik Prince’s hometown, Holland, MI. This week Scahill exposed secret tape recordings by the reclusive and controversial Prince. Tonight’s segment will likely focus on the Times Square bombing, and whether or not U.S. Special Forces were involved in the arrest of Faisal Shazad. No hit time yet for Scahill’s segment; check The Nation‘s twitter feed for updates. We’ll have video here of both appearances tomorrow. 

An urgent message from the Editors

As the editors of The Nation, it’s not usually our role to fundraise. Today, however, we’re putting out a special appeal to our readers, because there are only hours left in 2025 and we’re still $20,000 away from our goal of $75,000. We need you to help close this gap. 

Your gift to The Nation directly supports the rigorous, confrontational, and truly independent journalism that our country desperately needs in these dark times.

2025 was a terrible year for press freedom in the United States. Trump launched personal attack after personal attack against journalists, newspapers, and broadcasters across the country, including multiple billion-dollar lawsuits. The White House even created a government website to name and shame outlets that report on the administration with anti-Trump bias—an exercise in pure intimidation.

The Nation will never give in to these threats and will never be silenced. In fact, we’re ramping up for a year of even more urgent and powerful dissent. 

With the 2026 elections on the horizon, and knowing Trump’s history of false claims of fraud when he loses, we’re going to be working overtime with writers like Elie Mystal, John Nichols, Joan Walsh, Jeet Heer, Kali Holloway, Katha Pollitt, and Chris Lehmann to cut through the right’s spin, lies, and cover-ups as the year develops.

If you donate before midnight, your gift will be matched dollar for dollar by a generous donor. We hope you’ll make our work possible with a donation. Please, don’t wait any longer.

In solidarity,

The Nation Editors
