This morning, I sat down for an extremely meaningful interview—an exclusive conversation that, in many ways, marks a turning point. Not just in the news cycle, but in my work. It will be published tomorrow at 11 AM EST. And while I can’t say too much just yet, I’ll say this: it’s personal. It’s urgent. And it’s a signal of something bigger taking shape.
Because this wasn’t just another story I’m reacting to. This was something I sourced, investigated, and now get to bring to you directly. It’s the first of many moments where I’m not just reporting on what’s happening—I’m helping shape the conversation from the ground up.
So before I publish tomorrow’s piece, I want to say thank you. Not the passing kind of thanks, but the kind that lives in your bones. The kind you feel in your chest when you realize people didn’t just cheer you on—they built the foundation you’re now standing on.
If you’ve found value in this work—if my reporting has helped you cut through the chaos, clarify what’s at stake, or even just feel less alone in a time that’s often isolating—I hope you’ll consider becoming a paid subscriber. Or, if you already are: thank you, and please consider sharing this with someone who might benefit from it too.
That shift is something I’ve been working toward, quietly and consistently, for the past year. And today it became real.
But before I share the full interview, I wanted to pause and speak directly to you—because none of this happens in a vacuum. This moment, this story, this platform—it only exists because you showed up.
Exactly one year ago, I left my job as a lawyer. I walked away from a stable, prestigious career path into a future I couldn’t fully see. At the time, I didn’t imagine journalism could become my full-time work. I didn’t imagine I’d be conducting exclusive interviews or publishing deeply reported pieces each week. Honestly, I wasn’t even sure if anyone would read what I had to say.
But I made a promise to myself: that if I was going to take this leap, I would do it with full integrity. No shortcuts. No noise. No sensationalism. Just the truth—delivered as clearly and courageously as I knew how.
That’s still my promise. It’s just that now, I don’t have to do it alone.
Your support—your paid subscriptions, your comments, your reposts, your belief—made this more than a leap. You made it sustainable. You made it grow. You turned a risky personal experiment into an actual newsroom. Into a real thing.
Because here’s the truth: this work is hard. It takes hours of sourcing, researching, cross-checking, transcribing, and shaping stories that don’t just inform but mean something. It takes emotional labor, editorial judgment, and often, stepping directly into the fire. None of that is scalable without support. Every subscription means I can take more risks. Report faster. Go deeper. Bring you stories that others won’t.
And we need that kind of journalism—now more than ever.
We are living in a moment of breathtaking instability. The federal government has just gutted healthcare access for millions, quietly and without accountability. The President of the United States is announcing major policy shifts via Truth Social, bypassing traditional press entirely. The news cycle has become a 24/7 firestorm—frenzied, fragmented, and increasingly divorced from reality.
The institutions we once trusted to bring order to chaos feel broken. The platforms we relied on for connection are now breeding confusion. Facts themselves are under siege, blurred by disinformation, manipulated clips, and algorithmic manipulation.
And yet—this is exactly why journalism matters.
This is why I do this work. Not to stoke fear. Not to entertain. Not to tell you what to think. But to offer something rarer and harder to find each day: clarity. Accountability. Perspective. Truth without noise.
That’s been my mission from day one. And that’s what I’ll continue doing—if I have your support.
So tomorrow, when this interview goes live, I hope you’ll read it. I hope it resonates with you the way it did with me. And more than that, I hope you’ll see it for what it is: not just a story, but a step. A building block in something we’re creating together—a newsroom rooted in trust, powered by people, and unafraid to face the moment head-on.
Thank you, truly, for being here. For believing in this. For helping me make this more than a side project—for helping make it a calling.
I can’t wait to show you what’s next.
Let’s keep going.
We will all be here waiting for your news.
Aaron - your work has helped me see stories that I wouldn't have seen otherwise - thank you! I'm always looking for what the other side sees, because I know we're all humans and it isn't black and white, so I would really love to see your take on pointing out where there are other perspectives and how we can understand why people are rooting for the budget bill for example. If I come to a conversation with all the things that are wrong with it, I won't have any common ground in a conversation, and it will perpetuate the "us vs. them" that is plaguing this country. Cheers, keep up the good work!
