I subscribe to ProPublica. Also to Democracy Docket, Protect Democracy, Civil Discourse, Paul Krugman, Heather Cox Richardson, Strength In Numbers, Margaret Sullivan's American Crisis, and of course, The Contrarian. Most of these excellent news sources charge only a few bucks per month.
Now that the legacy media has mostly been bought and/or cowed into platitudes, the sources that you mention have become the only responsible sources of journalism. You might want to add Dan Rather to your reading list. Yes, he'still reporting, as he's done for decades.
"The secretive, close relationship between the son of a sitting U.S. President and a member of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s inner circle raises serious national security and public corruption concerns"
See? This is truly a matter of national security, unlike the ballroom and the Arc de Tr(i)ump(h) (with apologies to France for this spelling).
Folks should also be looking into how her husban's business has profited from her time in office. She's as crooked as a dog's hind leg! And read closely...the contract was for RESEARCH. The company got the contract but produced NOTHING! Even the folks in Bath got NOTHING through this self dealing. What we've learned is that there are ALL KINDS OF LOOPHOLES for this kind of thing to happen. No wonder bills are filled with pages of legal gobbledygook! Vote GOP candidates OUT!
“…Without ProPublica’s work, neither of these corruption stories would have come to light. Its undaunted, unbiased, and unrelenting effort to expose wrongdoing and shine a bright light on public and private corruption deserves Americans’ deep gratitude. The outlet is a national treasure.”
A subscription to ProPublica is a contribution to the fight for democracy and motivation for other media outlets to join the fight against corruption and the theft of our tax dollars.
Something is very wrong when the person who invaded Ukraine with no justification whatsoever and has spent four-plus years committing war crimes there, not to mention waging hybrid warfare against our NATO allies, is invited to a major economic summit as if he were a normal head of state or government.
Agree, Anne. Yesterday on the Meidas Defense Ukraine Update hosted by Ken Harbaugh, guest Andrea Chalupa from Gaslit Nation said the following:
“Far too many world leaders and societies in the West normalized Putin, legitimized Putin, when the man is a mass-murdering thug and Russia is a mafia state.”
Looking at YOU, Donald Trump! Shame on you for cozying up to your master Putin, while Ukraine burns and its people suffer.
Like Propublica, we need our news organizations. We need organizations that will report accurate but also honest information. What we don’t want is organizations being run by a single source that wants to strip 1st Amendment rights from news media, which is what we will get if that Merger with the Ellison’s and Paramount goes through.
Three cheers for Sen. John Curtis! I had no idea principled Republicans still existed in today's world. And John Cornyn! Let more and more join in because if they can't see the corruption at the highest levels, they are willfully covering their eyes and ears.
Jennifer Rubin is a national treasure! Thanks for your great work in keeping us all informed.
I second both of those statements!
"Senator Collins! When did you stop taking bribes from defense contractors?"

Worth the quality and fact-based reporting.

The Trump administration and Republicans in general: Corruption is in their DNA.
All candidates should be scrutinized. The media is not up to the task.
Candidates for federal office are supposed to file financial statements and their donors are supposed to be disclosed.
E.G. https://www.fec.gov/data/candidate/S6ME00159/.
https://mainemorningstar.com/2026/06/12/nearly-100-billionaires-and-their-spouses-have-donated-to-reelect-susan-collins/
Every one of the 100 billionaire donors to Susan Collins should be scrutinized .
Senator Collins is said to be “deeply concerned” and is confident that a prolonged period of pearl clutching will resolve the issue.

While at it, give the tax code a good housecleaning. Try a rewrite in clear speech; remove the legalese, loopholes and gobbledygook.

And Trump just invited Putin to his golf resort. They are thick as thieves and are both.

Ms Jennifer thank you for always giving us a concise and complete report. You are doing an amazing job.
And Susan's corrupt company isn't even in Maine. What must the locals think?
Let’s all get behind Troy Jackson—the elites don’t like him but I do.

Ban ProPublica from the White House!
When Trump’s family is insecure in their grift, our National Security is disturbed.
“…convincing nearly 90 percent of Americans that corruption is widespread.”
It isn’t?
Thank you ProPublica!!
