We truly need an independent press right now.  

Action You Can Take Today: Please consider subscribing to print and online news, and donating to organizations that support independent journalism.

Here are a few active subscription options, you could pick one, two, three or more, or you can always find others you prefer.

• The Washington Post, which played a big role in uncovering information leading to Michael Flynn's resignation.
• The New York Times, which is continuing to vigorously investigate 45's ties to Russia.
• The Guardian, which is always ahead of the rest with breaking news.
• The New Yorker, making us laugh every day thanks to the fearless Andy Borowitz.

 Also consider donating to non-profit organizations that support real news:

• ProPublica — Founded 10 years ago by a former managing editor of The Wall Street Journal, ProPublica is a nonprofit investigative news site based in New York City. In 2010 ProPublica was the first online publication to win a Pulitzer Prize and has earned two more since, as well as a long list of other prestigious awards.
• The Center for Public Integrity (CPI) — An early player in the nonprofit investigative space, CPI has been around for close to 30 years. Its reporters have won dozens of journalism awards, including a Pulitzer in 2014, for its investigations of money in politics, national security, health care reform, business and the environment.
• The Center For Investigative Reporting (CIR) — Founded 40 years ago in the San Francisco Bay Area, CIR is a nonprofit that has partnered for years with other outlets to reach a wide audience in print, on television, on radio and online.
