The Election Room Is Open. Ninety Days Free.
The public work stays free. This is the room behind it — open through September 30.
Let me say the important part first: the public newsletter stays free. Every briefing, every money trail, every name. That was the deal when you signed up, and I don't change deals.
But there's a room behind the free work, and through September 30, the door is open.
It's called the Election Room, inside BTP Insider. Every Friday, a members-only read goes deeper on the week's story — sourced, specific, written for people who want the full argument, not the summary. Every month, one file with every money trail we tracked: names, amounts, citations. Your questions jump the podcast Q&A line. When the print bundle ships, you're first.
Here's the offer, stated plainly, because I hate fine print as much as you do: ninety days free. You put a card down, you pay nothing for three full months, and if it's not worth $8 a month to you by then, cancel and we're square. No hard feelings. The free newsletter keeps landing either way.
Why does this exist? Because the math of independent journalism is simple and ugly. No billionaire owner. No board. No advertiser who gets a phone call when a story cuts too close. The people who read the work fund the work — that's the whole model, and it's the only model that can't be bought.
The 2026 map is already moving. The money moved first — it always does — and the Election Room is where we follow it while everyone else is still reading the press releases.
Prefer to just commit? 30% off your first year does the same job with less ceremony.
Either way, the free work keeps coming. But the room is better with you in it.
