Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

DN! in the NewsJuly 30, 2019

Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman recently sat down with Jeremy Scahill — a co-founder of The Intercept as well as a former Democracy Now! staffer — for the Intercepted podcast. They discussed the possibility of war with Iran and how the Trump administration’s hostility toward the country echoes the George W. Bush administration’s build-up for war in Iraq in 2003. Amy also shared stories from her early life as a journalist.
