BLACK FRIDAY SALE!!!

Deals Deals Deals!

I’m just back from fighting with fellow shoppers at the mall; I got up at 3 am to make sure I was there when everything opened.

I kid. I did that one time. (Not the fighting part.) It was the worst. Never again.

But, it is Black Friday — the made-up holiday of consumerism in America. (To be clear: I celebrate consumerism every day.)

And in that holiday spirit, I am offering a SPECIAL SALE on “So What” subscriptions.

Through Sunday night, monthly and yearly subscriptions are 20% off — meaning that you can become a monthly subscriber for $5 and a yearly one for $50.

Already a subscriber and want to buy a subscription for a friend? You can do that!

What does a paid subscription get you? GREAT question!

1. Access to ALL of my content — including my line-by-line breakdowns of Donald Trump’s speeches and my Friday Mailbag where I answer questions from members of the community.

2. A 15-minute, one-on-one Zoom call with me. One on one. Me and you. No topics off limits!

3. Exclusive access to my weekly conversation with NBC News’ Chuck Todd. Every week Chuck and I talk the latest in politics and sports.

4. 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.

And while I can’t reveal everything else I have planned for the new year, trust me when I tell you it is going to be great — and you will want to be a part of it.

So, why me? Because with the decline and fall of mainstream media — and it’s happening more rapidly than even I thought — the number of nonpartisan reporters and analysts is shrinking. And we need people willing to tell you the truth now more than ever.

Here’s what I pledge to you:

• I am independent. I don’t report to some big corporate media company. I say what I think — without fear or favor.

• I am authentic. You will always get my honest take on politics (and everything else). I speak and write from more than three decades in mainstream media. So, I know how this all works. But it’s just me making this content — so if you become a subscriber all of your financial support goes to my efforts to make this newsletter as good as it can be.

• I am transparent. I will always show my work and explain how I got to my conclusion. Which doesn’t guarantee I will always be right. I won’t be! But I’ll explain how I got there.

You won’t agree with everything I write. To me, that’s WHY you should subscribe. All of us — me very much included — need to hear thoughtful voices and perspectives that don’t always align with our own. Now more than ever.

Act now and get the lowest price I will EVER offer for paid subscribers!
