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!

Report: GOP Downloaded 4,600 Computer Files from Dems

HeadlineMar 05, 2004

A three-month Senate investigation has found top Republican staffers systematically downloaded over 4,600 computer files from Democratic offices. The investigation was carried out by the Senate’s top law enforcement officer, Senate Sergeant-at-Arms William Pickle. He made no recommendations about whether to pursue criminal prosecutions but said several federal laws were likely broken. The report identified two staffers, including Manuel Miranda, who became Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist’s top aide on judicial nominations. Both Miranda and the other staffer, Jason Lundell, left their Senate jobs during the investigation.
