Editorial note: I want to be straight about something: I believe that you have gotten real value from this free newsletter for months, but it costs us to send you the daily newsletter. There’s a lot more happening at MND every day than what makes headlines — deeper political analysis, like this piece on the tension between Sheinbaum’s personal popularity and her own party, MORENA. Full daily coverage like that, every single day, is what your $89.99 a year actually unlocks — not a better version of what you already get, but the whole thing, every day, instead of just the highlights. One more thing I want to flag now, not spring on you later: in three days, on September 7, we’re discontinuing the free version of this newsletter for readers who haven’t subscribed after over 100 days with us. I don’t love saying that, but keeping a free newsletter going to people that don’t value our work costs us real money — money we’d rather put toward readers who have chosen to support our work.
