"On September 15, Vice President JD Vance attacked The Nation while hosting The Charlie Kirk Show. In a clip seen millions of times, Vance singled out The Nation in a dog whistle to his far-right followers. Predictably, a torrent of abuse followed. 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."
