Award-winning Investigative Journalist Robert Parry (1949-2018)

Award-winning investigative journalist and founder/editor of ConsortiumNews.com, Robert Parry has passed away. His ground-breaking work uncovering Reagan-era dirty wars in Central America and many other illegal and immoral policies conducted by successive administrations and U.S. intelligence agencies, stands as an inspiration to all in journalists working in the public interest.

Robert had been a regular guest on our Between The Lines and Counterpoint radio shows -- and many other progressive outlets across the U.S. over four decades.

His penetrating analysis of U.S. foreign policy and international conflicts will be sorely missed, and not easily replaced. His son Nat Parry writes a tribute to his father: Robert Parry’s Legacy and the Future of Consortiumnews.

"Medicaid, which is the largest provider of long-term care in America – and for the vast majority of people, the only provider of long-term care that's both in-home care and nursing home care ... they don't replace it with anything. They just get rid of Medicaid."

– Alex Lawson, executive director of Social Security Works, on President Donald Trump and the Republican-led Congress's plan to cut $880 billion from Medicaid

During his presidential election campaign, Donald Trump repeatedly stated that if elected, he would not make cuts to Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid programs.

impeach

While Donald Trump was in the midst of his first overseas trip as president, another explosive news report was published, casting an ever darkening shadow over his administration in office of just over 120 days. On May 26, The Washington Post broke the story that Trump's senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner had proposed setting up a back-channel between the Trump transition team and Moscow using Russia’s secure cyber equipment at either Moscow’s embassy or consulate. The newspaper said that Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak had reported to his superiors that Kushner made the proposal during a meeting with him on either Dec. 1 or 2 at Trump Tower, according to intercepts of Russian communications that were reviewed by U.S. intelligence agencies.  Story continues
