Hi there,

Immigration raids are spreading across the country. The agencies meant to protect public health are being dismantled from within. Public broadcasting is being defunded... Today, Democracy Now!'s independent reporting is more important than ever. Because we never accept corporate or government funding, we rely on viewers, listeners and readers like you to sustain our work. Can you start a monthly donation? Monthly donors represent more than 20 percent of our annual revenue. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!

Money is growing on trees around the Capitol, and an increasing amount of contributions to candidates is coming from one of the fastest growing industries in the U.S.–gambling. Center for Public Integrity, one of the leading group in Washington that tracks money and politics, is releasing a new report today that looks at how gambling interests, from riverboats to casinos to race tracks are funneling money into the Presidential and congressional campaigns.
