Dear subscribers…
We here at Zeteo have been doing a lot of heavy lifting recently in investigating Donald Trump and the Republican Party’s many efforts to subvert and attack democracy. Our founder Mehdi Hasan has been pounding the drum on Trump’s threat to free and fair elections since before 2020.
Today, with the midterms just weeks away, the president’s unrelenting mission to corrupt and rig U.S. elections in his party’s favor isn’t just one of the most important stories in the country; it may be the defining story of our new era of American authoritarianism, and it could have lasting effects for decades to come. We have a small but mighty team of journalists here at Zeteo – and we are throwing everything we have into reporting on this.
Early this month, we dedicated a full week of coverage to Trump and Republicans’ election-subversion efforts, rolling out several pieces of new reporting and deep dives in our ‘Start The Steal’ series. Read the series here:
We held a live town hall for Zeteo subscribers at the end of that week, taking your online questions live as we interviewed one of the top activists working to stop President Trump from stealing elections. And then Mehdi spoke with Ty Cobb, a former Trump White House lawyer who warned that he’s “not sure” American democracy can survive the president’s attacks this year – an interview picked up by multiple news outlets.
So we are doing the work – and ramping up and expanding the scope of the reporting we’d already been doing for years on Trump’s anti-democratic schemes. If you’re wondering if our work on this beat is pissing off the White House, the answer is: yes. Don’t take our word for it. Take theirs.
But this work is not cheap. And it’s not free.
We cannot keep doing this kind of reporting without the financial support of our readers, listeners, and viewers – and if you want us to keep doing our investigative journalism and political reporting that is evidently getting under the Trump administration’s thin, fascist skin, then we need you to become a paid subscriber today.
