   Not the odds, but the stakes.

   That's my shorthand for the organizing principle we most need in journalists covering the 2024 campaign. Not who has what chances of winning, but the consequences for American democracy. Not the odds, but the stakes.

     I want reporting on the moneyed individuals funding fascism.

     Corporations are not people. They shouldn't get to select a despot.

     Money is not speech. It shouldn't get to select a despot.

     Democracy is "We the People" not "might makes right".

     Reproductive rights
     Voting Rights
     Gun safety
     Tax reform
     Campaign finance transparency
     Election security
     Climate action
