Here are nine headlines currently splashed across the news at the moment I’m writing this:

  • Trump acknowledges he intentionally downplayed coronavirus threat
  • N.I.H. Director Undercuts Trump’s Comments on a Vaccine by Election Day
  • As NFL reopens, Trump resumes attacks on players who demonstrate for racial justice
  • In crackdown on race-related content, Education Department targets internal book clubs, meetings
  • Patients may have seen ‘significant’ delays in medicine deliveries by USPS, Senate report finds
  • Whistleblower Says DHS Leadership Tried to Halt Reports on Russian Interference
  • Mike Pence slated to speak at fundraiser hosted by QAnon supporters
  • Emails show HHS official trying to muzzle Fauci
  • Senate paralyzed over coronavirus relief

November 3rd can’t come soon enough.

Owned by no one—except you.

We just keep seeing it happen: Newsrooms owned by billionaires and corporations are spinning their own narratives, overwriting the truth, following only stories that keep them in the pocket of those with even more power.

Not here. We’re not owned by anyone. We’re not part of any cult that demands our allegiance to a bottom line. We’ve spoken up and spoken out while other newsrooms changed their stories—or cut them altogether—to keep the C suite happy.

Our mission is to find the truth and amplify it. That’s why we’re independent, nonprofit, and, crucially, funded by readers. The investigations on our website will always be free to read, watch, and listen to, but our newsroom is powered by readers who pitch in what they can so we can keep asking the hard questions.

Can you chip in today?
