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!

Trump Lashes Out at Immigrants & Media at Florida Rally

HeadlineAug 01, 2018

President Trump lashed out at immigrants and called for strict voter ID laws during a rally in Tampa, Florida, Tuesday night.

President Donald Trump: “We believe that only American citizens should vote in American elections, which is why the time has come for voter ID, like everything else. Voter ID. You know, if you go out and you want to buy groceries, you need a picture on a card. You need ID. You go out and you want to buy anything, you need ID, and you need your picture.”

It is not true that one needs a picture ID to buy groceries. Trump supporters also berated members of the media during Tuesday night’s rally, including chanting ”CNN sucks.” Following the event, President Trump retweeted his son Eric’s tweet of a video showing Trump supporters chanting ”CNN sucks” during the rally.
