Friends:

Here’s a link to the biggest discount we’ve offered in all summer:

We’re offering it because our subscriber support is paying off. Earlier today, we broke a powerful exposé that revealed the lie behind politicians stripping people’s pandemic-related jobless aid because they say the benefits are stopping folks from taking good jobs.

In the story, we shared heartbreaking stories of people pleading with their wealthy governor to reinstate COVID-19 unemployment aid.

“This unemployment is our lifeline,” said one of them.

“You’re punishing us and forcing us to work low-wage jobs in a pandemic that’s still ongoing,” said another.

“There aren’t enough jobs out there, and the jobs don’t pay enough,” said a third.

You won’t find these stories anywhere else — because we uncovered them using open records requests.

Records requests are expensive. Sometimes they cost hundreds of dollars. To help us fund them, please click this link to our biggest summer discount. With it, you'll get access to all of the benefits we offer to paying subscribers, including weekly exclusive content, access to our live events, and free digital publications.

We have sent similar requests out to states all over the country. Our plan is to expose the nationwide toll of the lies those in power are telling to cut off the benefits millions of people desperately need.

Doing this work isn’t just about scoring clicks, social media hits, or Beltway newsletter mentions — it’s about fighting for people who need a lifeline during these unprecedented times.

Please help us get this done by clicking this link right now. You’ll be taking advantage of our biggest deal of the summer, scoring exclusive benefits and helping us reveal the truth behind these terrible lies.

Rock the boat,
