MOTHER JONES NEEDS YOUR HELP

Our fiscal year ends today, and we still need upwards of $60,000 in online donations to finish our budget at break-even, or as close as we possibly can. We’ve already cut $1 million in costs. We can't afford to come up short. And there’s more about why this is so urgent here, or in this primer about our nonprofit journalism and finances. Straight up: We can get there, but it's going to take more people who care enough about our journalism to be reading this blurb to pitch in and support it than normal. Please help if you can.

Mother Jones needs your help. Our fiscal year ends today, and we still need $60,000 in online donations to get to break-even, or a lot closer. We’ve already cut $1 million in costs. We can't afford to come up short. Learn more about why this is so urgent in “News Never Pays,” or about our finances and nonprofit operation here, and please support the journalism you get from us if you can right now. We need more help than normal.

T-Shirt Proposal of the Day

The collapse of the I-35 bridge in Minneapolis, along with New York’s recent underground explosion/subway shutdown (not to mention the widespread loss of New Orleans), beg the question: How do we like our tax cuts and wars so far? Here’s a poster/T-shirt I’d be delighted for someone to help produce. It’s time we get busy linking this rot with its root cause: the very successful U.S. Conservative Movement.

PS: Bush announced yesterday that he will propose further tax cuts very soon.
