Dear Reader,
The next few months are make-or-break for Mother Jones’ fundraising, and we need more online readers to pitch in than have been of late. In "It's Not a Crisis. This Is the New Normal," we take a level-headed look at the brutal economics of journalism, why investigative reporting like you get from us matters, and why we're optimistic we can grow our base of support in a big way—starting with hitting a huge $300,000 goal in just three weeks. Please learn more and donate if you can right now.

Poor Donald. Lots of yelling and screaming, lots of ICE abuse, and even a politically disastrous effort to rip families apart at the border. But has it done him any good? According to the latest numbers from CBP, no. Summer border crossing activity is down a bit as usual, but it’s still higher than it was during the Obama era. Apparently roaring and blustering and promoting inhumane policies haven’t gotten him anywhere. Maybe it’s time for a different strategy?
