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.

HeadlineFeb 17, 2023

Senator John Fetterman is seeking in-patient treatment for depression at Walter Reed hospital, his office announced. Senate Democrats rallied around their colleague, with Majority Leader Chuck Schumer tweeting, “Happy to hear @SenFettermanPA is getting the help he needs and deserves. Millions of Americans, like John, struggle with depression each day.” The freshman senator from Pennsylvania has suffered a number of health challenges recently. Last week he was briefly hospitalized after feeling lightheaded during a Senate retreat. He was elected as U.S. senator in November, six months after suffering a life-threatening stroke.
