BREAKING: Good journalism costs money.
And we need a lot of both right now. We’re short of our August goal of $163,000 in online donations, and it’s not going to get any easier next month when election noise and news will be even louder. You know what’s at stake. And you know Mother Jones is up for it. Will you pitch in now so we can do our best work?

We need to raise $163,000 before the month ends and the election noise and news get louder. You know what’s at stake. And you know Mother Jones is up for it. Please help if you can.

I’ve finally given up on progressives.

Lenses, that is. I tried ’em for over a month and just couldn’t adjust. Distance vision was fuzzy everywhere except dead center, and the reading portion didn’t work at all. So I took them back and in a few days I’ll have a pair of genuine old-man bifocals. Just like my hero, Benjamin Franklin.
