Trump is bringing the media to heel through government coercion and multibillion-dollar lawsuits. But Mother Jones won’t be intimidated. Through September 30, your donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar thanks to a $50,000 matching gift. That means twice the impact to power fearless reporting. The truth is under attack.

As we reported yesterday, resident MoJo badass (and human rights reporter) Mac McClelland is down in Louisiana covering the BP oil fiasco as it washes up on shore. Today she’s back at Grand Isle beach, where there are dolphins, yelling cops, and huge pools of oil. Right now she’s headed to the new ‘BP Information Center’ to ask why cops are trying to block reporters. Barring arrest, she’ll be live-Tweeting from the scene. Follow her coverage below (takes a sec to load), or follow her on Twitter here.
