One of my English teachers (Mr. Ganz) in high school introduced our class to "The Jungle", authored by Upton Sinclair, one of the leading muckrakers of his time. I will never, ever forget that book or Upton Sinclair......or the term "muckrakers." I found Popular Information about two years ago, and I read every article Judd Legum posts. To me, Judd is the ultimate muckraker. I wish that every American would add Popular Information to their daily "must read" list......for, if that happened, Americans would be far less ignorant and far less "griftable" than is sadly the case.

POPULAR INFORMATION continues to perform brilliantly. Judd & crew deserve our gratitude and support for the essential work they do. I'm old and poor but together we can chip in to keep this effort going. I can't think of anything more important!

Judd, I can’t even begin to express my gratitude for your courageous independent reporting. As William McCann states above, you are one of the top reasons to support Substack authors.

Judd, you were my very first Substack subscription and you are still the very best Substack subscription. Thank you for all the outstanding reporting. You are the pinnacle of journalism.

He was mine too! Joyce Vance was second and she’s a beautiful legal mind to follow to better understand all the legalese that comes with 45/7. Thank you, Judd!!

Judd & muckraking companions: I can’t wait to get the skivvy on Popular Information’s upcoming expansion. More PI can only lead to a better world or — at the very least — less worse! A fervent New Year’s wish: May our worst nightmares NOT come true in 2025 and may you contribute even more mightily to that outcome.

Happy to hear that PI is expanding. My hope is that because of pockets of truthful reporting we will survive the new Gilded Age.

Would like to see more indepth of the short and almost missed piece done recently on 60

Minutes about how Mexico is suing the US for supplying guns to fentanyl cartels.

I really am concerned with the compliance of this Nazi crap!

Keep up the great work Judd!!! We may not always agree. Your exposes are enlightening though.

Big question for the New Year. Do Trump et al believe that White Collar crime is in fact crime? Other than by political enemies, will white collar crime be allowed to occur freely under a Trump presidency?

I think we need to prepare for the elimination of much needed government protections.
