We've never been very good at being conservative: Our fundraising drive ends on Saturday, we have about 400,000 left to reach our goal, and it's going to take a surge in last-minute donations to get there. If you value Mother Jones' reporting and you can right now, please help us close that gap with a donation today. This is an important moment for us and the type of journalism we do, and there's more to say than can fit here in asking you to pitch in with a last-chance gift.
