Everyone has something to say about Joe Lieberman, something to say to Joe Lieberman, and something they’d say if they were Joe Lieberman. On Morning Joe, The Nation‘s DC editor Chris Hayes joins the club and reveals his frustration about the Connecticut senator by calling him out on his latest tactics to threaten healthcare reform. For Hayes, it’s Lieberman’s childish behavior that is egregious–especially since it springs from spitefulness instead of a definitive policy stance. Lieberman should drop the petulant act, Hayes argues, in order to represent anything but the most faulty aspects of our democratic system.

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
