PoliticusUSA is 100% people-powered politics. We are independent, meaning we aren’t beholden to a think tank, venture capitalists, a board full of wealthy people with an agenda, corporate or political relationships.

We write the facts for the people. Whatever policy or opinion we present is because we believe it is best for the people of this country, not for the billionaires and corporations.

We speak for those who don’t have a seat at the table and we hold power accountable no matter what side of the aisle it’s on. We are deliberately outside of the beltway.

Right now, our ability to do this is being threatened by Silicon Valley, Trump’s attacks on a free press, and the corporate media. Pretty soon the only news left will be that funded by huge mega-donors and corporate owners, with an agenda that doesn’t always speak for the people.

We need your help. If you can spare $2 to help fund our efforts, it will only take a minute. Every contribution you make goes directly to paying for independent journalism.
