Each week, the actions of the Trump administration continue to cause significant disruption and controversy. The administration’s so-called “Liberation Day” has led to severe impacts on the global economy and initiated yet another constitutional crisis domestically. Plainclothes officers have been reported abducting university students, and “enemy aliens” are allegedly being transported to a mega prison abroad, despite court orders. The emerging Signalgate scandal is anticipated to be the first of several incidents highlighting the administration’s underlying issues.
Amidst this environment, where prominent universities, major law firms, and influential media organizations seem to yield to Trump’s pressure, The Nation remains committed to holding powerful figures accountable. Recently, The Nation has published investigative pieces on Trump delegating his mass deportation strategies to international partners, the administration’s use of obscure legal grounds to advance its agenda, and the challenges faced by courageous student activists targeted by educational institutions.
Additionally, The Nation continues to cover stories of resistance against Trump and Musk, documenting activities from street protests and town hall meetings nationwide to pivotal state elections, such as the critical Wisconsin state Supreme Court race. These narratives serve as examples of defiance against Trumpism and illustrate that democratic processes cannot be bought.
This form of journalism is crucial in 2025, and The Nation emphasizes that such work is only possible with support from its readers. As an independent, reader-supported publication, The Nation appeals for donations to sustain its essential journalism.
