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.

-Amy Goodman

Ivanka Trump Calls Family Separations “Low Point”

HeadlineAug 03, 2018

Trump’s attacks came as his daughter—senior White House adviser Ivanka Trump—said she doesn’t share he father’s view that the press is the “enemy of the American people.” Ivanka Trump was speaking at an event held by the website Axios. During her interview, she also described her father’s policy of separating immigrant families at the U.S.-Mexico border as a “low point” of her time in the White House.

Ivanka Trump: “Yes, that was a low point for me, as well. I feel very strongly about that. And I am very vehemently against family separation and the separation of parents and children. So I would agree with that sentiment. I think immigration is incredibly complex.”
