Hi there,

Independent media is more important than ever. Speaking up and telling the truth is becoming increasingly dangerous. Because we are only sponsored by you—not by governments or corporations—we can continue to bring you courageous journalism in a landscape filled with disinformation. If every person who came here for news this month gave just $15, we would be fully funded for a year. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. 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.

Democracy Now!

Jimmy Carter Buried in Georgia After State Funeral at Washington National Cathedral

HeadlineJan 10, 2025

President Jimmy Carter’s state funeral was held Thursday at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. All five living presidents were in attendance. President Biden delivered a eulogy.

President Joe Biden: “Throughout his life, he showed us what it means to be a practitioner of good works and a good and faithful servant of God and of the people. And today, many think he was from a bygone era. But in reality, he saw well into the future.”

Following the ceremony, Carter’s body was returned to his hometown of Plains, Georgia, so he could be buried next to his wife of 77 years, Rosalynn Carter. After headlines, we’ll continue our look at the presidency and legacy of Jimmy Carter.
