Hi there,

In the six months since President Trump’s inauguration, we have seen unprecedented attacks on the press. Instead of pushing back, corporate owners of commercial networks are caving in. Because we do not accept any corporate or government funding, we rely on audience members like you to sustain our work. I hope you will donate today to support our independent journalism.Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Senators McCain, Murkowski Face Primary Challenges

HeadlineAug 24, 2010

Voters in Alaska, Arizona, Florida, Oklahoma and Vermont head to the polls today to vote in state primaries. Republican Senators John McCain of Arizona and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska are both expected to survive challenges from tea party-endorsed candidates. Some of the day’s closest races may be in Florida, where the Democratic Senate primary pits Congressman Kendrick Meek against billionaire real estate investor Jeff Greene. In the Florida Republican gubernatorial primary, State Attorney General Bill McCollum is battling former healthcare executive Rick Scott, who has spent almost $39 million of his own money on the campaign.
