Hi there,

Independent media is more important than ever. Speaking up and telling the truth is becoming increasingly dangerous. Because we are only sponsored by you—not by governments or corporations—we can continue to bring you courageous journalism in a landscape filled with disinformation. If every person who came here for news this month gave just $15, we would be fully funded for a year. 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.

Democracy Now!

Trump Secures Enough Delegates to Win Republican Nomination

HeadlineMay 27, 2016

In news from the campaign trail, Donald Trump has officially secured the support of enough delegates to become the Republican Party nominee. Trump is now supported by 1,238 delegates—one delegate above the threshold required to clinch the nomination. He won’t become the party’s official nominee until the Republican National Convention in July. This comes as Trump spoke Thursday in North Dakota, where he pledged to push through the construction of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline. He also vowed to roll back the Paris climate accord.

Donald Trump: “We’re going to cancel the Paris climate agreement and stop—unbelievable—and stop all payments of the United States’ tax dollars to U.N. global warming programs.”
