Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Has Lung Cancer Surgery

HeadlineDec 26, 2018

Justice Ginsburg’s vote came as she was hospitalized in a New York City cancer center, where surgeons on Friday removed two malignant growths in her left lung. Doctors have called the surgery a success and say there’s no sign that Ginsburg’s cancer has spread. Ginsburg is 85 years old; last month she cracked three ribs after a fall inside the Supreme Court. 2018 marked Ginsburg’s 25th year on the court, and she has not announced any plans to retire.
