Dear Reader,
This “Giving Tuesday,” please consider support for independent journalism.
We wanted to send a quick note to share a discount to subscribe directly or gift a subscription for a loved one. Please see the link here for the offer.
We rely on subscriptions for total editorial independence. Unlike other independent outlets that only publish tribal opinions designed to speak to only one side of the debate, we provide a mix of nonpartisan analysis and original reporting. Document requests and database tools can be expensive. I say ‘we’ because I hire editors and others to help with particular projects. Your support makes a huge difference.
Since our launch, we’ve published dozens of unique investigations you cannot find anywhere else. A few examples just from the last year or so include:
– New Twitter Files revealing how the government censored the New York Times.
– Secret vaccine industry efforts to surveil critics of pandemic policies.
– Members of Congress illicitly tapping taxpayer expense accounts for reelection.
– Revealed the consultants that powerful individuals use to manipulate Wikipedia.
– Reported a series on AI-powered social media censorship and spying programs.
– Scooped Obama’s private tax strategies that mirror the loopholes he once opposed.
– Court documents revealing close ties between Jeffrey Epstein and a key lawmaker.
– Reported several original stories on ‘defund the police’ billionaire hypocrisy.
– How the U.S. is funding Ukrainian groups working to censor critics of the war.
– Tax forms that reveal former GOP intelligence officials' pro-big tech lobbying.
– Efforts by both parties in the election to funnel dark money to TikTok influencers.
– How Pfizer’s vaccine advertising dodged routine TV disclosure requirements.
This is an exciting time to be a political reporter. There is a realignment and real shift reverberating around the country, on the left and the right. And there’s no better moment to support independent journalism outside the establishment sphere.
The link for the discount will be live for the next few days. It can also be found here: https://www.leefang.com/2024discount
Thank you for your support. Wishing you a happy and healthy holiday season.

I didn’t realize I didn’t yet give you my dollars. Let’s go, ethical journalism!
Economically, this is a smart choice. But,I kind of want to pay you more. I think this reporting is worth it. So, I'm staying with monthly.
Also, Mr. Fang, I am in the market for an editor myself. Do you have any recommendations? I'm more of a creative writer, opinion and commentary creater than journalist, but I find I need and editor.
