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 The Nation’s June Fundraising Campaign

With the midterm elections now firmly upon us, the question is whether Democratic candidates will do more than merely occupy ballot lines as mild alternatives to the red-hot crisis that is Donald Trump.

As Trump spends over $1 billion a day on a globally destabilizing war on Iran and admits that he doesn’t “think about Americans’ financial situation,” millions across the country are struggling with the surging costs of essentials. Democrats must seize this moment and advance bold, small-“d” populist ideas—not settle for cynical caution that once again snatches defeat from the jaws of victory.

The Nation elevates progressive ideas, movements, and elected officials achieving real change across the country into the national conversation. At the same time, our journalists are exposing how crypto and AI-funded super PACs are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to knock out candidates they oppose, reporting on the devastating impact of the Supreme Court’s evisceration of the Voting Rights Act, and sounding the alarm on attempts by red states to quickly redraw electoral maps, disenfranchising Southern Black voters.

We can play this critical role because of support from readers like you. This June, we’re raising $20,000 to power The Nation’s independent journalism in the run-up to November’s immensely consequential elections.

It’s in our power to build a more just society, and your support at this critical moment brings us closer to that bold vision. I hope you’ll donate today.

Onward,

Katrina vanden Huevel
Editor and Publisher, The Nation
