But here’s the challenge: We’re a reader-supported news outlet that doesn’t have huge corporations backing us, which means that we really need our free subscribers to pitch in to support our cost-intensive reporting.

So I’m not going to waste your time. Here's our explicit ask: We need you to use this big discount to become a subscriber RIGHT NOW.

This is truly critical — we wouldn’t ask you to pitch in unless we really needed your help to keep doing this work.

To illustrate what you will be directly funding when you subscribe, take a look at this new video that explains exactly which lawmakers backed the 2018 banking deregulation that led to the current bank crisis. This is the kind of reporting you’ll be funding — but that politicians want to silence:


We don’t answer to corporations — which is why we can do this work without fear of retribution or damage to our bottom line. So please, consider using this discount to fund our work keeping the pressure on with more accountability journalism that exposes these politicians.

When you become a paid supporting subscriber, you get great perks in return. For example, just this last Friday, we hosted a supporter-only live event where we discussed the current banking crisis with U.S. Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.); Cornell Law School Professor Saule Omarova, a Biden nominee blocked by the Senate because she has supported financial regulation; and Matt Stoller, director of research at the American Economic Liberties Project and a former Senate budget analyst.

Thank you for considering this offer. If you’re not ready to take this step today, we still thank you for being a reader, and look forward to keeping you informed.

Rock the boat,

Sirota
