Dear reader,

We're going big with a new Mother Jones Corruption Project, because we realized so many of today's stories come down to corruption: a system that is consistently manipulated by those with wealth and power. We aim to hire, build a team, and do time-intensive reporting to understand how we got here and how we might get out, publishing a major series of investigations in the summer of 2020. If you like how that sounds, please read the plan and join us with a tax-deductible donation so we can go all in.

"Corruption Isn’t Just Another Scandal. It’s the Rot Beneath All of Them": That's where we explain why Mother Jones is going big with a new Corruption Project. We aim to hire, build a team, and do time-intensive reporting to understand corruption as a pattern, not just isolated incidents. If you like how that sounds, help us go all in with a tax-deductible donation today.

For the last few months of this unforgettable campaign, Mother Jones has brought you the “The Trump Files,” a daily dose of telling episodes, strange-but-true stories, and curious scenes from the life of Republican nominee Donald Trump. The time Trump claimed he would have fared better in business as a black man? Covered it. His uplifting words to a grieving mother about how hard he’d once tried to sleep with her? That one, too. Or when Trump alleged an election had been rigged—that is, a race for Top Scot that was sponsored by a whiskey company? You bet. In all, we published more than 100 Trumpian tales. Unsure where to start? Click “hit me” below to generate a Trump File at random. The story link will appear below the image.
