LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Hey, Inspector!

A big CONGRATULATIONS to subscriber Alan Steacy—he won a 12-month paid subscription to News Detectives! He was the first to correctly answer my question in last Saturday’s red pills. Nice work, Detective!

Let me know if any of these red pills stand out to you for some reason—I’ll be lurking around the comments this weekend.

If you are feeling generous, please consider a one-time pledge if you are holding off on a paid subscription—especially if you have been a free subscriber for over a year. ;)

You can give single donations at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/MatthieuLumiere

Much love,

Matthieu
