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.

At U.N., Trump Accuses China of Election Meddling & Attacks Iran

HeadlineSep 27, 2018

At the United Nations, President Trump gaveled in a meeting of the Security Council Wednesday, as the U.S. took over the rotating position of council president. In prepared remarks, Trump once again attacked Iran over its alleged nuclear ambitions. He also singled out China for allegedly meddling in the upcoming U.S. midterm elections. Later, Trump held an 81-minute solo news conference—just the second of his presidency—in which he railed against Kavanaugh’s accusers and dismissed reports he was being laughed at when he addressed the General Assembly Tuesday as “fake news.” We’ll have more on Trump at the United Nations later in the broadcast.
