The app for independent voices

D.J. Byrnes

It do be like that sometimes.

Unlike their right-wing counterparts, most political content creators on the center-left and left operate as independent freelancers, without institutional backing, full-time salaries, or basic benefits like healthcare. Many juggle multiple income streams—subscriptions, ad revenue, crowdfunding—just to sustain their work, leaving them vulnerable to burnout and reactive rather than strategic in their output. They often work alone, without the support of editors, researchers, or political operatives who could sharpen their messaging and deepen their impact.

So, which is it?

If this info wasn’t classified, that in itself would be a scandalous screw-up that must be explained.

And if it was classified, then the Trump administration lied to Congress and to the American people.

a long rant about the shameless mongrels who have spent the whole week acting like the Signal story is no big deal.

the U.S. is the leader of the free world and the most powerful country on Earth. It is critically important to mankind that we keep that position. We should be super proud of it. But one part of that is that it does come with responsibility! We need to do our best to have people in these jobs who aren’t fucking morons!

Hi Substack! I’m Chris Mooney, longtime climate journalist and author (currently a fellow and professor of practice at UVA).

I’m coming off nearly a decade in the newspaper world -- and this feels like a great platform for channeling some of that that experience, but also forging a new voice.

So I have launched ReportEarth, with a focus on climate data and its communication -- but room to wander.

Appreciate your interest!
