Special holiday offer for PN readers

Please support independent media. It's more important now than ever.

Dear readers,

With corporate media already obeying Trump in advance, it’s clear that independent coverage is going to be more vital than ever in 2025. That’s why I’m humbly asking you to support Public Notice with a paid subscription.

We’ve covered Trumpism without fear or favor since the newsletter launched in October 2021, back when I was writing every edition on my own. I’m now fortunate to work with a fantastic team of journalists with expertise in everything from legal affairs to American history to media criticism. But keeping that crew together requires resources, as does making sure Public Notice is able to defend itself in the event the Trump administration targets us with a nuisance lawsuit or investigation.

Our work is supported entirely by paid subscribers. To make it easier for you to become one, I’m offering a holiday special. Click the button below to sign up for a full subscription for just $40 annually.

A paid subscription gives you total access to everything we publish, including exclusive expert Q&As, subscriber threads and video chats with me, commenting privileges, and more. Perhaps most importantly, paid subscribers make this newsletter possible. (If you’d like to become a paid subscriber but can’t afford it, feel free to email me. I’m happy to comp subscriptions to readers on tight budgets.)

It can be tempting to tune out the news and disengage during times like these, but we’ll keep working hard to make sure we explain the biggest political stories and do so in a way that helps readers understand them without feeling overwhelmed. We have the experience and knowledge it takes to cover anything the Trump administration throws our way — and the fearlessness to do so without pulling punches or trying to curry favor.

Finally, from my family to you and yours, I’d like to wish you a happy holidays. Thanks for being part of the Public Notice community. Building up this newsletter from scratch has been a lot of work, and this has obviously been a grueling year, but leaving Vox to go independent is still one of the best decisions I’ve made. I’m grateful for your support and will never take it for granted.

Cheers,

Aaron
