John,

We have less than 12 hours until midnight — and our July fundraising deadline comes at a critical moment.

Thank you for supporting COURIER and independent media that tells the truth without fear or favor. If you’re able, please chip in $25 or whatever you can to help us close the final $8,000 gap and keep this work going strong.

As the Epstein fallout builds, Trump is escalating his campaign to silence dissent and retaliate against anyone he calls the “opposition.”

This month alone, he cut funding for public broadcasting. Subpoenaed ActBlue. Pressured networks into settling lawsuits — and canceling Stephen Colbert. 

Now he’s calling for Kamala Harris, Oprah, and Beyoncé to be prosecuted.

This isn’t just fear. It’s a crackdown on dissent — and it’s accelerating.

COURIER is one of the last independent media voices still standing. We reach millions in the online spaces like TikTok where right-wing media dominates — especially younger people who tell us we’re often their only trusted source of news.

We don’t do paywalls. We don’t take orders from billionaire MAGA curious boardrooms. We answer to our readers — and to our belief that the truth and factual journalism are a cornerstone of democracy.

Right now, we’re still $8,000 short of our July goal. If you believe in fearless journalism that exposes Trump in real time, please chip in before midnight:

Every donation helps us keep reporting in battleground communities where public media is being dismantled, local news is disappearing, and truth is under threat.

This is the final day. The stakes couldn’t be clearer.

— The COURIER Team

P.S. This is the last message we’ll send this month. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment — this is it. Please support our work with a donation of any amount today.
