As we rang in the new year, the Prospect released a new print issue, Democrats and the Government: Together Again. In it, we looked at the new class of 2020, reflecting on the successes and lessons of the Georgia runoffs, examined the subversion of the census, circled back on the climate crisis, looked ahead at where the Democratic Party should go from here with an eye on the mistakes of the Obama administration, and had a meta fake news experience via Mank.
In our live virtual launch event, we invited our writers and contributors to chat more about their pieces from the issue, and also answered some questions from our donors.

There's too much at stake this November for us to quit. As we navigate another presidential election year, thoughtful independent journalism is more important than ever. We're committed to bringing you the latest news on what's really happening across the country this election season, shining a light on the stories corporate media overlooks and keeping the public informed about how power really works in America.
Quality reporting doesn't come for free, and we don't have corporate backers to rely on to fund our work. Everything we do is thanks to our incredible community of readers, who chip in a few dollars at a time to make what we do possible. This month, we're trying to raise $50,000 to help fuel our election coverage, and we've fallen behind on reaching our goal. Any amount you give today will bring us closer to making our reporting possible—and a generous donor has agreed to match all online donations, so your impact will be doubled.
