No News Tonight — But for a Good Reason

Hey everyone —

I was planning to get another report out tonight, but life had other plans… the good kind.

It turns out my wife is throwing me a surprise birthday party tonight. The twist? I just found out — but she doesn’t know I know. So, I’m going to play along, act surprised, and soak it all in. It’s one of those rare moments where real life interrupts the news cycle — and honestly, I’m not complaining.

That means I won’t be by my computer tonight to get you the report I was planning. If something major breaks, I’ll try to sneak away and send a quick update from the party (journalist instincts die hard). But otherwise, I’m taking the night off.

I want to take a second to say thank you. Your support — whether it's reading, sharing, or subscribing — makes this work possible. I don’t take it for granted. Independent journalism only works when there’s a community behind it, and I’m grateful you’re part of mine.

Back to your regularly scheduled programming tomorrow.

Thanks for everything,

Aaron
