This isn't my last piece at The American Prospect, but it is my last post-if you follow me on Twitter, you probably know, by now, that I'm leaving The Prospect to join The Daily Beast as a staff writer. I'm not the best at goodbyes, so I'll say this: Not only am I grateful that The Prospect hired me three years ago-despite not having any journalism or professional writing experience-but working for the magazine since has been a great pleasure and privilege. And the same goes for working with everyone who makes The Prospect what it is: I honestly can't imagine a better team of people, or a better group of friends.

A second Trump administration will cement a right-wing majority on the Supreme Court for a generation, and put our collective future in the hands of someone who will be virtually unchecked by our institutions. The country has shifted rightward, and the reverberations will ensue for potentially the next few decades. In this climate, a robust independent media ecosystem will be more important than ever. We're committed to bringing you the latest news on how Trump's agenda will actually affect the American people, shining a light on the stories corporate media overlooks and keeping the public informed about how power really works in this country.
Quality journalism is expensive to produce, and we don't have corporate backers to rely on to fund what we do. Everything we do is thanks to our incredible community of readers, who chip in a few dollars at a time to make our work possible. Any amount you give today will help us continue reporting on what matters to our democracy.
