Is Thomas a news magazine? Are you journalists?

We are actually citizen scribes, not journalists.

Our objective is to provoke you into considered thought and maybe even entertain you a bit as well.

We do not permit sponsored content or native advertising related to politics or governing.  We also do not produce content for political candidates, political parties or political organizations.

Does Thomas endorse or oppose candidates?

Thomas does not endorse nor oppose candidates for political office.  We do rate candidates on elements that are found in the values Thomas Jefferson gifted us in the Declaration of Independence, as well as those provided by the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights, consistent with what our founding fathers promoted.  We do take positions on political or governing issues from time-to-time and are careful to disclose those activities as they occur.
