During the foreign policy debate this Monday, October 22, at 9 pm, we’ll be online again to cut through the spin. While Barack Obama and Mitt Romney debate one last time, join our live chat at TheNation.com for real-time fact-checking and analysis from Nation writers and readers. You will have the opportunity to chat live with our editor and publisher Katrina vanden Heuvel, Nation contributors Robert Dreyfuss, Ari Berman and Laura Flanders, TheNation.com blogger and director of the New Internationalism Project at the Institute for Policy Studies Phyllis Bennis, and the national security policy analyst at the Center for American Progress Action Fund, Matthew Duss. For the last debate, more than 800 of you joined us, many submitting your own sharp commentary. To be sure you don’t miss out this time, sign up for an e-mail reminder below.

Support independent journalism that does not fall in line

Even before February 28, the reasons for Donald Trump’s imploding approval rating were abundantly clear: untrammeled corruption and personal enrichment to the tune of billions of dollars during an affordability crisis, a foreign policy guided only by his own derelict sense of morality, and the deployment of a murderous campaign of occupation, detention, and deportation on American streets. 

Now an undeclared, unauthorized, unpopular, and unconstitutional war of aggression against Iran has spread like wildfire through the region and into Europe. A new “forever war”—with an ever-increasing likelihood of American troops on the ground—may very well be upon us.  

As we’ve seen over and over, this administration uses lies, misdirection, and attempts to flood the zone to justify its abuses of power at home and abroad. Just as Trump, Marco Rubio, and Pete Hegseth offer erratic and contradictory rationales for the attacks on Iran, the administration is also spreading the lie that the upcoming midterm elections are under threat from noncitizens on voter rolls. When these lies go unchecked, they become the basis for further authoritarian encroachment and war. 

In these dark times, independent journalism is uniquely able to uncover the falsehoods that threaten our republic—and civilians around the world—and shine a bright light on the truth. 

The Nation’s experienced team of writers, editors, and fact-checkers understands the scale of what we’re up against and the urgency with which we have to act. That’s why we’re publishing critical reporting and analysis of the war on Iran, ICE violence at home, new forms of voter suppression emerging in the courts, and much more. 

But this journalism is possible only with your support.

This March, The Nation needs to raise $50,000 to ensure that we have the resources for reporting and analysis that sets the record straight and empowers people of conscience to organize. Will you donate today?
