URGENT FUNDRAISING REQUEST:

Our fall fundraising drive ends on Friday, and we very much need to hit our $250,000 goal by then. If you value the journalism you get from Mother Jones, please help us do it with a donation of any amount today. We can't afford to come up short, and there's still a big 400,000 gap to fill.
