URGENT REPORTING DRIVE | GOAL: $25,000
Voters just handed Democrats control of both the House and the Senate, yet the new Congress will not be sworn in until January. Those eight weeks are critical.
While corporate media outlets chase daily outrage and clicks, AlterNet’s journalists are focused on what actually affects your life and our democracy:
• Tracking power behind the scenes: Exposing how a cornered, lame-duck administration and hardliners like Stephen Miller are reshaping federal agencies before January.
• Following the money: Uncovering the true economic toll of foreign conflicts and a $40 trillion debt on working families.
• Cutting through the spectacle: Separating deliberate political distractions from real policy shifts in Washington.
Every single dollar you give today goes directly into expanding our frontline reporting staff.
We don't exist to offer comfort or commiserate—we exist to uncover the unvarnished truth and hold power accountable, no matter who is in office. Thank you for standing with AlterNet.
