  • Shepard Fairey?

    Democracy Now! is extraordinary in its uncompromising commitment to holding those in power to account. With this in mind, it was *deeply* disappointing to hear Shepard Fairey, a known plagiarist, speak about the power of visual art to challenge the status quo.

  • Real and Illuminating News

    I’ve been listening and watching DemNow! since their inception in 2006. Unlike Billionaire-Controlled mainstream network and cable news, Democracy Now!, gives us real news. Refreshing from it’s beginning, I’ll always appreciate this news outlet.

  • Thank you

    I was a former New York Times subscriber, unfortunately. But thank goodness I found Democracy Now, because unlike the NYT, Democracy Now provides in-depth journalism that is unafraid to challenge the Trump admin’s fascist regime and actually acknowledges the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Thank you Democracy Now! Keep up the excellent journalism!

  • Disappointed

    I have always loved and respected the independent journalism of Democracy Now and have trusted their work for decades. Unfortunately, the episode about Iran on 3/2 was a mouthpiece for Ayatollah Khamenei, who is responsible for the murder of 10’s of thousands of his own people by all accounts. This was not mentioned through the whole episode, and they even made this totalitarian dictator out to be a hero! Truly, deeply disappointing take. Painfully one-sided. It shows that your boxed-in ideology... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Democracy Now! 2026-05-27 Wednesday
Q: Start off, I mean, that chilling moment where Hodges is being crushed in a door as he shouts, screams, moans. Talk about what this suit is.
The suit argues the fund is illegal because it creates a new agency-like mechanism funded by a settlement, bypassing proper statutory authority, and could be used to reward those who attacked the Capitol, thereby endangering officials and the public.
Democracy Now! 2026-05-28 Thursday
Q: Robert Malley, how might the new dynamics around the Strait of Hormuz influence potential diplomacy and the viability of any Iran deal?
Malley explains that Iran has demonstrated an ability to control transit through the Strait, which could lead to a toll‑based relief framework but also complicates regional acceptance; negotiations hinge on balancing economic relief, sanctions relief, and the enforcement of new naval regulations while avoiding entrenching control.
Democracy Now! 2026-05-28 Thursday
Q: Ramzi Qais, what is the significance of the evacuation orders south of the Zahrani River and the broader humanitarian impact on civilians?
Ramzi describes the vast displacement, with over 130,000 people in shelters, and emphasizes that civilians bear the greatest price as ceasefires fail to protect them; displacement compounds humanitarian strain on Lebanese authorities, and the legal and moral questions around forced evacuations remain unresolved.
Democracy Now! 2026-05-29 Friday
Q: Can you describe this confrontation and who exactly is making the arrests?
The guest describes confrontations outside Delaney Hall involving ICE agents and Newark police, with statements about pepper spray and aggressive tactics, and emphasizes accountability and oversight needs.
Democracy Now! 2026-05-20 Wednesday
Q: Mr. Attorney General, this is an outrageous, unprecedented slush fund that you set up. Simple question, will individuals who assaulted Capitol Hill police officers be eligible for this fund?
The fund is described as broadly applicable; the commissioners will set the rules, and the administration indicates that anyone in the country who believes they were targeted could apply, raising concerns about eligibility for those who committed violent acts.
