The Republican National Convention — as you may have heard 😂 — starts tonight in Milwaukee.
As I was thinking about how best to cover the RNC, I glanced at my Substack stats — I do this from, uh, time to time — and realized I am only 33 paid subscribers away from 3,000.
Which is HUGE!
I really want to get that number over 3,000. ASAP.
To that end, I am going to discount paid subscriptions for the entirety of the Republican convention — aka from today through Thursday at midnight.
You can join our movement for just $5 a month or $50 for the whole year!
But, wait, there’s more!
If you become a PAID SUBSCRIBER today, you can be a part of my live chat TONIGHT from 10-11 pm eastern time. I’ll watch the final hour of the convention with you and offer my pithy(!) commentary as well as answer any questions you might have. I am going to do this each night of the convention — but it’s only for paid subscribers!
(Among the featured speakers tonight: South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem(!), South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott and Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin. Come watch along with me! It’s like “Mystery Science Theater 3000” — but for politics!)
NOTE: If you are already a paid subscriber, look out for a link later today to the chat!
Not convinced yet? Here’s what else you get with a paid subscription:
A 30-minute, one-on-one Zoom call with me. One on one. Me and you. No topics off limits!
Exclusive access to my weekly podcast “Name Your Mount Rushmore.” Every week we will pick a subject — candy, political slogans, ‘80s hair-metal bands — and debate who makes our personal Mount Rushmore in that category.
An exclusive Sunday email with a list of recommendations from yours truly — a podcast, an article, a YouTube video, a Substack, a song, a book, a TV show — that I think you will dig.
All that for just $5 a month or $50 for the year! This offer will only last through Thursday so act now! (And, yes, this is starting to sound like an infomercial.)
On a serious note: Building this community — and watching it blossom — has been incredibly gratifying. It has, literally, saved me — and convinced me that journalism truly is my calling. But, it doesn’t work without you. I need you to invest in ME and the daily political analysis I provide.
Thanks in advance for all of your encouragement and support.

Chris,
Your salesmanship and creativity of topics knows no bounds...I've been a subscriber from the start, and I'm counting on you and your political savvy to get me through this election!
It's definitely worth the money! I don't think I'll have the heart to join the live chats, though. What a horrible day this has been.
