Record plate: Sixty days of the Friday Insider read. No card, nothing charged, nothing to cancel.
Special EditionVol. I · WashingtonOctober 2026

The vote is November 3. The room is open until then.

Every Friday, BTP Insiders get the Election Room: the full read on who is buying the seat — built from FEC filings and public records, with the argument the free daily doesn't have space for.

Until November 3, it's free. Sixty days. No card. Nothing charged, nothing to cancel, nothing to remember to turn off.

What you get

  • The Friday Election Room, every week. The money behind each race through the midterms — filings linked, names named.

  • The monthly money file. Every document from the month's reads, in one place.

  • The full argument. Not the teaser the free daily carries.

Why give it away three weeks before an election? Because the people funding these races are counting on you to vote on the ads instead of the filings. I'd rather you walk into the booth having read the documents. If the room earns your $8 a month after November, stay. If it doesn't, it cost you nothing to be right.
