Before Trump’s attempts to smear Joe Biden and undermine the Russia probe took center stage, I was captivated by the NRA’s current inner turmoil. I can’t get enough of the lawsuits, petty infighting and coup attempts. Josh Kovensky, who’s on our NRA drama beat, wrote a really insightful post about this one NRA donor who seems to be rankling the gun group’s leadership. Basically, this one man has tried to start a small insurrection of sorts among some of his fellow donors, but it’s been hard to calculate just how big this movement is. Yet, Josh explained in a Prime post why he thinks this small rebellion is actually starting to get to the NRA. 

This is the kind of nuanced piece that Prime allows us to publish. Our reporters are able to connect dots for our readers and explain on a minute level the big stories we’re following. 

And this is all possible because of our membership program. So click here to join, and and you’ll not only gain access to Prime posts, you’ll be supporting all of the great reporting we do.

As the newly minted special projects editor, I’ve helped oversee these posts that go deeper into the news, and I’m really proud of the work we’ve published recently. 

Tierney Sneed, our voting rights guru, was able to walk us through the chaos caused by President Trump’s defunct voter fraud commission and break down the most recent release of documents on notorious redistricting expert Thomas Hofeller.

Kate Riga also has a recurring Prime feature on local politics — I loved her deep dive into North Carolina Republicans’ recent attempt to sneak in a vote to override the Democratic governor’s budget veto.

Support from our TPM members has enabled us to bring you this work. And with a larger membership base, we’ll be able to bring you even more analysis and insight from our team. So if you haven’t already, please join.
