I Will Never Stop Reporting.

A lot of you have reached out to me lately with a question that’s hard to answer:

“Are you okay?”

“Are you burning out?”

And I want to be honest with you — yes, I feel the weight. I feel the pressure of chasing the truth while watching those in power sprint in the opposite direction. I’ve felt burnout creeping in before, and I’ve always tried to be transparent when it does. But here’s the truth: I can’t stop. Not now. Not when the world is burning. Not when democracy is being shredded in broad daylight and behind closed doors alike.

That’s why I’m asking you — if you value this work, if it matters to you that someone is staying awake while others try to lull the public to sleep — please consider becoming a paid subscriber today.

Your subscription directly fuels this work. It’s how I expand the team. It’s how I keep going when most of the country is asleep — and the people writing these bills are counting on exactly that.

Because yes — they’re doing it in the middle of the night on purpose.

Because they don’t want you to know what’s in the “big beautiful bill” they’re ramming through.

They don’t want you reading about the deep cuts to Medicaid. Medicare. SNAP.

They don’t want you asking questions about the Qatari jet Donald Trump accepted — or why he lashed out at a journalist in the Oval Office just for asking.

They don’t want any of this getting out. And too often, they win — not because they’re right, but because people are too tired, too distracted, or simply never hear the truth in the first place.

But that’s where we come in.

That’s where you come in.

This work has never been about partisanship. It’s about accountability. It’s about power — and the increasingly desperate, dangerous lengths it goes to in order to protect itself. It’s about ensuring that, no matter how many times they move the vote to 11:59 p.m. or hide amendments in unreadable legalese, someone is watching. Someone is reporting. Someone is telling the truth.

That’s why I’ve decided to start expanding my team — because you deserve around-the-clock coverage. You deserve clarity, not chaos. Facts, not spin. You deserve journalism that won’t flinch when the truth gets ugly.

I won’t pretend this is easy. But I’ll never stop. Not on my own.

So I’m asking you — not just to read, but to stand with me. Help build something stronger. Help ensure that, no matter how dark it gets, someone is always shining a light.

With gratitude and urgency,

Aaron
