Friends:

When we started TMI, we pledged to do hard-hitting journalism that scrutinized both parties, and this week has proven the success of that vision — and now we really need your help.

In just the past few days, we’ve broken big stories about a Wall Street scandal in Mitch McConnell’s Kentucky, Joe Biden making promises to his big donors, Andrew Cuomo shielding health care execs during Covid and the Pentagon subsidizing corporate lawbreakers.

We are having a big impact — and now we are trying to expand. To do that, we need as many free subscribers to pitch in and become supporting subscribers. So here’s the request:

Please go to sirota.substack.com/subscribe and become a monthly or annual supporting subscriber.

I don’t love having to ask for support — because I know times are tough out there and I’d rather be doing the work of reporting on corruption. But I also know that corporate- and billionaire-owned media will never consistently scrutinize the power of corporations and billionaires — and so that’s why we are working so hard to build a model of grassroots-funded journalism. It is a model of journalism that doesn’t rely on a few huge donations, but instead relies on many small contributors.

We are having great success — and we can continue building on that success with your help.

Please consider clicking here to become a supporting subscriber — I wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t important.

Thanks for considering this. Onward.

Rock the boat,

Sirota
