Officially, I think we should all be more focused broadly on deception by politicians, not narrowly on lies. However, as many of you have pointed out, for fundraising purposes Mother Jones is pretty clearly focused on lies. And why not? If you got your facts from Fox News or the GOP, you’d think President Obama was raiding grandma’s Medicare in order to give welfare to illegal immigrants who came to destroy America through same-sex marriage.

Luckily, you don’t have to get your facts from the conservative noise machine. Mother Jones is here to fact-check the politicians, and when we expose lies, our stories are picked up and amplified by mainstream media outlets across the nation. As you know, however, MoJo is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and our journalism is mostly funded by donations. So if you happen to know any billionaires and can persuade them to throw us a million or two during this week’s fundraising drive, that would be great.

But if you’re not on a first-name basis with any billionaires, how about tossing ten or twenty bucks to the Mother Jones Investigative Fund instead? That’s what we’re really after anyway. Or even a C-note if you can swing it. It helps keep Mother Jones going, and that means that it helps keep this blog going too. Here’s how to donate online:

Thanks! Every dollar helps.

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.
