"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."
