Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. 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.

Sen. Rubio Steps Up Attacks on Cuba While in Colombia

HeadlineFeb 18, 2019

Florida Senator Marco Rubio, who has been outspoken in his support for Guaidó and his desire to oust Maduro, made a trip to Colombia over the weekend, where he, among others, ratcheted up the U.S.’s anti-Cuban rhetoric.

Sen. Marco Rubio: “The only military intervention that exists today in Venezuela is a Cuban intervention. All of the institutions and government organizations have been taken by them. They’ve been taken by the Cubans. How is that possible, that an official who has sworn to protect his country has delivered the control of his own homeland to Cuba, to another country?”
