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.

Special counsel Robert Mueller has indicted 12 Russian intelligence officers for hacking the Democratic National Committee, Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein announced the charges during a news conference Friday. The charges come days before President Donald Trump’s scheduled meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Finland on Monday. Rosenstein said he had briefed Trump on the pending charges earlier this week.
