Hi there,

The media can be the greatest force for peace on Earth. Instead, all too often, it’s wielded as a weapon of war. That's why we have to take the media back. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority – those calling for peace in a time of war, demanding action on the climate catastrophe and advocating for racial and economic justice. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

NYT: Trump Organization Nearly Collapsed in 1980s

HeadlineOct 04, 2016

This comes as a New York Times investigation reveals the Trump Organization came incredibly close to collapse in the 1980s, leading Trump to amass $3.4 billion in debt by 1990. The following year, the Casino Control Commission determined “Mr. Trump cannot be considered financially stable,” although the agency allowed Trump to continue operating his casinos. The Times investigation draws on newly revealed tax returns showing Trump claimed an income tax loss of nearly $917 million in 1995. Trump has refused to release his full tax returns. We’ll have more on Donald Trump’s financial record after headlines with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists David Barstow and David Cay Johnston.
