Welcome to Muckrakers.Today
New. Relevant. Built for You.
We built something new.
And we are proud of it.
American Muckrakers has a new addition to the family: Muckrakers.Today.
It is a new home for accountability reporting, sharp commentary, public records, political truth-telling, and stories that deserve sunlight.
The work is growing. The stakes are rising. Power moves fast.
So do we.
A New Home for Accountability
Muckrakers.Today is designed to be fast, clear, useful, and easy to share.
It brings together the reporting and commentary our readers care about most: corruption, hypocrisy, public records, democracy, courts, campaigns, money, power, and the people trying to hide from accountability.
Some stories will come from us. Some will come from trusted outside reporting. Some will come from tips, leads, records, and readers who notice what others miss.
That is how this work moves forward:
One document.
One lead.
One question.
One citizen who refuses to look away.
Why We Built It
American Muckrakers has never waited around for permission.
We investigate.
We document.
We publish.
We hold power accountable.
Muckrakers.Today gives us another platform to do that work every single day. It is cleaner, faster, more flexible, and built for the speed of the moment.
We Want Your Feedback
This is a launch, not a finish line.
Visit Muckrakers.Today and tell us what works, what does not, and what you want to see next.
What stories should we feature?
What topics should we track more closely?
What would make you come back every morning?
We are building this with our readers, not just for our readers.
This Work Needs Fuel
Now comes the direct part.
If you believe in this work, please donate today:
Public records cost money. Legal review costs money. Technology, research, hosting, data tools, investigations, travel, document work, and basic operations all cost money.
If you want independent muckraking, help fund it. If you want more public records work, help fund it. If you want us to keep chasing the stories powerful people hope will die quietly, help fund it.
A donation is not just a thank-you.
It is ammunition for the next fight.
Sponsors and Advertising
We are also looking for sponsors and are now open to taking ad orders for Muckrakers.Today.

We are not slowing down.

The Mission Is the Same
Muckrakers.Today is new.
The mission is not.
Facts matter.
Public records matter.
Accountability matters.
Truth matters, even when powerful people hate it.
Especially then.
