It’s Laura. Happy Friday! To celebrate, Fiji Water would like to give you a beach towel. Or some free junta-fueling water. Anything, really, if you’ll just promise to tweet nicely about them—something people aren’t doing after reading the MoJo Fiji Water investigation. Plus: 3 MoJo stories today you might like:

1) Why is GOP pit bull Darrell Issa modeling himself after the Dems’ fiercest watchdog, Henry Waxman?

2) What happens when Enron-schooled ex-lobbyists become top energy regulators?

3) Can the drug ecstasy help post-traumatic stress patients confront their fears?

Laura McClure hosts weekly podcasts and is a writer and editor for Mother Jones. Read her recent investigative feature on lifehacking gurus here.

BEFORE YOU CLICK AWAY!

“Lying.” “Disgusting.” “Scum.” “Slime.” “Corrupt.” “Enemy of the people.” Donald Trump has always made clear what he thinks of journalists. And it’s plain now that his administration intends to do everything it can to stop journalists from reporting things they don’t like—which is most things that are true.

No one gets to tell Mother Jones what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please help with a donation today if you can—even a few bucks will make a real difference. A monthly gift would be incredible.
