Hi there,

As the future of democracy in the United States hangs in the balance, the need for courageous independent media is more important than ever. Our reporting centers the voices of people routinely excluded from corporate and government-run media, such as those raising deep questions about war and peace, demanding an end to our global reliance on fossil fuels. Because we are audience-supported, we need your help today. Can you donate $15 to Democracy Now! today to support independent media? From now until Giving Tuesday, a group of generous donors will TRIPLE your gift, which means your $15 donation is worth $45. Please help us air in-depth, substantive coverage of the outcome of the election and what it means for our collective future. Thank you so much! Every dollar makes a difference.

Ivanka Trump Takes White House Job as Unpaid Federal Employee

HeadlineMar 30, 2017

The White House said Wednesday President Trump’s daughter Ivanka will officially join the administration as a federal employee and unpaid adviser to the president. The move came after ethics groups blasted the administration for arranging a West Wing office and security clearance for Ivanka Trump, who previously had no official role in the administration and had not signed an ethics pledge required of federal employees. This month, Ivanka handed over day-to-day control of her company to a top executive, but critics say she continues to hold power over her business and could use her position in the White House for personal gain. Ivanka Trump will work alongside her husband, Jared Kushner, who serves as senior adviser to the president.
