Before Election Day, I Ask You To Join Us
From My Live With Heather Cox Richardson
Friends,
We launched our midterm sale with a simple promise: we’d cover this election like it matters. Because it does.
We’re in the final stretch. Our 30% off sale ends Election Day. Right now you can still get a full year of BAM for $42—just $3.50/month. Nov 3, at midnight, that ends.
But I want to explain what that $42 makes possible.
Cliff’s Note
Let’s start with what your $42 makes possible this election day: from 7am-7pm et, my third 12-hr Live marathon in the 20 months of BAM:
A Live that includes:
Mark Hamill, Joyce Vance, Jim Acosta, Former Sen. Jon Tester, Former Congressman Joe Walsh, Neera Tanden, Olga Lautman, Steve Schmidt, Joe Trippi, Miles Taylor, Shannon Watts, Julie Roginsky. And more!…
And we just added Chris Meloni! Who you know as Elliot Stabler on Law & Order SVU then Law & Order Organized Crime—as well The Handmaid’s Tale, Man Of Steel, etc.
We must amplify the truth louder than their lies. — Cliff
Our Coverage Depends On YOU
From My Surprise Live Last Week With Malcolm Nance
Every interview takes preparation.
Every article takes research, writing, and editing.
Every video takes a ton of writing, editing, producing, directing, and more behind the scenes before you ever press play.
And this is our pleasure to do! I’ve never felt like I’ve done anything more important in my work life I’ve done anything more meaningful in my work life than this.
From Our September Live With Hunter Biden
Paid subscribers fund this work. Your support determines how much we can cover, how quickly we can respond, and how consistently we can challenge the propaganda flooding our screens.
Without enough paid support, we’ll have to do less. Fewer stories. Fewer videos. It’s just math. But the result’s far more important: less coverage when we need more.
From my recent live with former Rep Joe Walsh
We Ask For Your Support
I’m asking you now because a subscription today helps sustain the work we’re doing in these final days—and gives us resources for the battles after the votes are counted.

From My Late August Live With Andy Borowitz
Help build the community the moment demands, my friends. We can’t let this opportunity, with enormous enthusiasm our side—and MAGA sinking—go to waste. If you read and share Blue Amp, you’re already part of this community.
Becoming a paid member makes you one of the people keeping it going.
Funding Independent Media Is Funding Democracy
From Our Amped Up Live w/ Katie Phang
We need places where corruption gets exposed, authoritarianism gets challenged, and people who refuse to surrender can find one another. Places that offer information, arguments, break stories, have exclusive interviews, and give you a reason to keep showing up when the news makes us wanna throw a bottle of ketchup at the wall.
Places that can give you a much needed laugh in between all the insanity.
Places that produce 4-6 Lives each week, 9-12 posts per week on top of that, and do all the things—the big ones and the little ones you’ll never know about—that go into producing that amount of content. For example, I’m sitting here writing this line at 10:59 pm et—I’ve been working the last 3.5 hours. On top of 3-ish hours earlier on my Sunday, to get this week and our 12-hr Live ready to go.
My September Interview With Rep. Jamie Raskin
Funding independent media that confronts fascism is one of the most concrete ways you can fight it. You help keep that work available to all the people who need it, including readers who can’t afford to pay.
I fully trust that the people who value Blue Amp will help sustain it if I explain what’s at stake. That’s the bet I’m making with this email.
After Election Day
Joyce Vance from our Amped Up Live w/ her
Election Day won’t end the need to expose lies, demand accountability, or defend democracy. Whatever the results—even if they’re beyond our wildest dreams—we’ll need to be here the next morning, because it will only be the beginning.
Look, none of us wished for a corporate media so corrupt, so confounded, so cockeyed, they’ve rendered themselves almost entirely impotent. We didn’t ask to be the final line of accountability. But this moment in history’s been thrust upon us.
And we will always answer that call.
The Sale
The sale will 100% end election night at midnight. The fight will 100% continue.

And I have paid $60. Hmmmm. I would add a year at the discount price if I could.
Has anyone else noticed that Trump hasn't said, "The Blacks love me!" in quite a long while?
It's a long story, taking place over a 6.5 year timeline.
It began in 2020 when the GOP had no problem assuming that the announced BLM rallies would result in the burning of countless Black communities (a la Watts, and Rodney King.) The GOP ended up scared of the magnitude of their misjudgement, resulting in a 180 degree reversal for dealing with Term Two NO KINGS rallies. (Such as paying (in some manner) Nick Cannon and Amber Rose to thank Black citizens for staying home.)
Trump didn't learn about "true believers" with Iran. He learned that even in America there are those who cannot be bought; Black mothers of at-risk sons. (Which is basically every Black male youth in America.)
And Trump no longer lies about Black Americans loving him.
