Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Former presidents and one-time political opponents Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford have added their voices to the censure vote, proposing in today’s New York Times a bipartisan censure resolution which would be voted by the Senate and accepted by Clinton.

At issue is whether a prolonged trial of Clinton is warranted in the face of sustained public support for the president, and with the strong likelihood at least for now that Republicans will not muster the necessary votes for a conviction. Meanwhile, the team that will prosecute Clinton has already been appointed, and it is composed of 13 Republicans from the House Judiciary Committee, with its chairman, Henry Hyde, at the helm.

Tape:

  • Interviews with Congress Members.
