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.

Trump Adds Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard to Transition Team

HeadlineAug 28, 2024

In campaign news, Donald Trump has added two former Democrats to his transition team: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard. Kennedy suspended his independent presidential campaign on Friday, but his name will likely remain on the ballot in some states. Kennedy is reportedly aiming to become secretary of health and human services if Trump is elected. Kennedy, who was once a prominent environmental lawyer, is a leading figure in the anti-vaccine movement. Kennedy has endorsed Trump despite once calling him a “terrible president.”
