Donald Trump Jr. Tried to weigh in. Your suggestions were better.

After Sen. Elizabeth Warren announced she got a new puppy, we asked you to suggest some creative dog names for her. And wow, did you respond.

We also heard from Donald Trump Jr., who tried to troll us on Twitter, but your suggestions were far better.

Here are just some of our favorites: 

  • “Thurgood. No one fights for justice/equality quite like Elizabeth Warren & no one fought for justice/equality quite like Thurgood Marshall.”
  • “Rebel”
  • “Tuffy because she needs someone tough by her side.”
  • “Raza, it means hope. We need hope and Elizabeth Warren is, for me, the mother of hope. 😉”
  • “‘Spero,’ which is Latin for ‘hope’ and also an awesome doggo name!”
  • “Consumer watch dog”
  • “Dodd Frank”
  • “Anthony Scarapoochie” 
  • “Dogged Pursuit”
  • “Endeavor”
  • “Hope” 

“Percy,” short for persistence, and “Justice” were two of the most frequent suggestions. 

Still no word from the senator on what she’s decided to name her pup, but let’s hope she takes some of your suggestions into consideration.

Investigative journalism, like the story you just read, takes time to do. Months of research. Weeks of writing, editing, and fact checking—and putting together the photography, art, video, and audio that tell the stories in a new way, illuminating new perspectives and voices.

We can afford to take that time because we don’t report to an oligarch or corporation with a special agenda. We report to you, and for you. That’s why we unabashedly pursue the truth and relentlessly shine a light into the darkness.

In this month’s Summer Membership Drive, we’ve got to raise $200,000 to support more crucial investigations. This is a pivotal moment in our nation, with democracy on the line, and we can only do this work because readers like you step up. Every donation, of any amount, makes a difference here. We cannot do this work without you.

So, we’re asking: Will you support independent journalism that demands those in power answer for their actions?
