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.

Obama and British PM Cameron to Meet at White House

HeadlineJul 20, 2010

The BP oil spill is expected to top the agenda of today’s meeting in Washington between President Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron. Cameron may also be questioned over BP’s alleged involvement in the decision to free Lockerbie bomber Abdel Baset al-Megrahi from jail last year. The 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, killed 270 people. BP has been accused of lobbying for al-Megrahi’s release in an attempt to protect its oil interests off the Libyan coast.
