Faced with the increasing global demand for oil and the threat of climate change, America needs a new energy policy – but what are our options? Bill Moyers sits down with Public Agenda analysts Jean Johnson and Scott Bittle to discuss how we can power America’s future and why we should “work the problem” rather than listening to extremes on either side. Johnson and Bittle are co-authors of “Who Turned Out the Lights? Your Guided Tour to the Energy Crisis.” Then, the “Journal” assesses Obama’s first year as president in the wake of Democrats’ defeat in Massachusetts’ special election for Senate with Princeton politics and African-American studies professor Melissa Harris-Lacewell and journalist Eric Alterman.
Trump is silencing political dissent. We appeal for your support.
Progressive nonprofits are the latest target caught in Trump’s crosshairs. With the aim of eliminating political opposition, Trump and his sycophants are working to curb government funding, constrain private foundations, and even cut tax-exempt status from organizations he dislikes.
We’re concerned, because Truthout is not immune to such bad-faith attacks.
We can only resist Trump’s attacks by cultivating a strong base of support. The right-wing mediasphere is funded comfortably by billionaire owners and venture capitalist philanthropists. At Truthout, we have you.
We’re in the midst of a fundraiser, and as of right now, we have until midnight to raise $10,000. Please take a meaningful action in the fight against authoritarianism: make a one-time or monthly donation to Truthout. If you have the means, please dig deep.
