It’s gotten relatively little national attention with the bomb scares and midterm elections. But two days ago a man named Gregory Bush entered a Kroger’s grocery story in Jeffersontown, Kentucky and shot dead a two black shoppers (one was shot in the parking lot). Now we learn that a short time before he had tried and failed to enter a nearby African-American church.

Dear Reader,

BECOME A MEMBER

When we asked recently what makes TPM different from other outlets, readers cited factors like honesty, curiosity, transparency, and our vibrant community. They also pointed to our ability to report on important stories and trends long before they are picked up by mainstream outlets; our ability to contextualize information within the arc of history; and our focus on the real-world consequences of the news.

Our unique approach to reporting and presenting the news, however, wouldn’t be possible without our readers’ support. That’s not just marketing speak, it’s true: our work would literally not be possible without readers deciding to become members. Not only does member support account for more than 80% of TPM’s revenue, our members have helped us build an engaged and informed community. Many of our best stories were born from reader tips and valuable member feedback.

We do what other news outlets can’t or won’t do because our members’ support gives us real independence.

If you enjoy reading TPM and value what we do, become a member today.

BECOME A MEMBER

Sincerely,
TPM Staff
