“Follow the money.” It’s a Washington cliché, but who’s footing the bill also happens to be one of the most revealing aspects of any political story. It’s also one of the most difficult to see.

In Pay Dirt, the Daily Beast’s newest political newsletter, subscribers can expect to learn about the biggest and most secretive stories in the dirty world of money and politics—and they can expect to actually want to read it.

Every Thursday, The Daily Beast reporter Roger Sollenberger will share new and exclusive reporting about the big dollars behind our most popular politicians. He will shed light on who’s raising money, who’s spending it, and who’s behind it all.

Roger will also take subscribers inside his reporting to discuss some of his methods and interesting tidbits he’s found that never made it to print. He will untangle the purse strings of D.C.’s most powerful players and expose the new tricks and gimmicks of an ever-changing, muddy system.

It’s a newsletter that no politician will want to be mentioned in—and every politician will want to read.

Subscribe now, and be on the lookout for the first edition of Pay Dirt dropping Thursday, May 5.
