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!

Sanders to Meet with Obama at the White House

HeadlineJun 09, 2016

In the United States, Senator Bernie Sanders returned home to Vermont Wednesday after his rival Hillary Clinton claimed the Democratic presidential nomination. Sanders heads to the White House today for a meeting with President Obama, who is expected to endorse Clinton in the coming days. Speaking on “The Tonight Show,” Obama said he hopes Democrats will be able to “pull things together” over the coming weeks.

President Barack Obama: “I’ve actually spoken to Hillary and Bernie at certain points during the campaign. And, you know, I don’t know if they ask me for advice, but I give it anyway. And—but you know what? It was a healthy thing for the Democratic Party to have a contested primary. I thought that Bernie Sanders brought enormous energy and new ideas, and he pushed the party and challenged them. I thought it made Hillary a better candidate.”

We’ll have more on the race for the White House with Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein after headlines.
