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.

Arnold & Laura Bush Speak at RNC

HeadlineSep 01, 2004

Inside Madison Square Garden, the Austrian-born California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger called on fellow immigrants to support the Republican party and George Bush.

Also last night the president’s daughters attempted to reach out to younger voters in a speech filled with jokes laced with pop culture references to Sex In the City and hip hop group Outcast.

First Lady Laura Bush headlined the evening praising how her husband is waging the war on terror.

Tonight Vice President Dick Cheney will be the keynote speaker. Sources close to Cheney say the vice president will likely lash out at Democratic nominee John Kerry.
