It’s Election Day, But If That Isn’t Your Thing Here’s a Video of a Cat Sleeping on a Pepper


Good afternoon.

This election has burned me out. I’m tired. I’m ready for it to be over. I want to rest. I want to sleep. I want to be this adorable little cat sleeping on a red pepper. Oh my God, it is so cute.

If dogs are more your speed, here’s Dawson’s Creek but with dachshunds:

Have a super day.

DECEMBER IS MAKE OR BREAK

A full one-third of our annual fundraising comes in this month alone. That’s risky, because a strong December means our newsroom is on the beat and reporting at full strength—but a weak one means budget cuts and hard choices ahead.

With only days left until December 31, we've raised about half of our $400,000 goal—but we need a huge surge in reader support to close the remaining gap. Whether you've given before or this is your first time, your contribution right now matters.

Managing an independent, nonprofit newsroom is staggeringly hard. There’s no cushion in our budget—no backup revenue, no corporate safety net. We can’t afford to fall short, and we can’t rely on corporations or deep-pocketed interests to fund the fierce, investigative journalism Mother Jones exists to do. That’s why we need you right now. Please chip in to help close the gap.
