"Throughout our 160 years of publishing fierce, independent journalism, we've operated with the belief that dissent is the highest form of patriotism. We've been criticized by both Democratic and Republican officeholders-and we're pleased that the White House is reading The Nation. As long as Vance is free to criticize us and we are free to criticize him, the American experiment will continue as it should."
"To correct the record on Vance's false claims about the source of our funding: The Nation is proudly reader-supported by progressives like you who support independent journalism and won't be intimidated by those in power. Vance and Trump administration officials also laid out their plans for widespread repression against progressive groups. Instead of calling for national healing, the administration is using Kirk's death as pretext for a concerted attack on Trump's enemies on the left."
On September 15, Vice President JD Vance attacked The Nation while hosting The Charlie Kirk Show, singling out the outlet in a dog whistle to far-right followers and triggering a torrent of abuse. The Nation emphasizes 160 years of fierce, independent journalism and asserts that dissent is the highest form of patriotism. The Nation corrects false claims about its funding, stating that it is reader-supported by progressives and will not be intimidated. The Nation reports that Vance and Trump administration officials outlined plans for repression against progressive groups and characterizes the administration as using Kirk's death as a pretext to target the left while urging support for a free press.
