About The True Brief
The True Brief is a free news email, usually out around 6:00 AM ET. It gives you the day's news, facts only, straight from official sources. Every item links to its official primary source, so you can check it yourself.
What's in it
Governments, central banks, regulators, markets, trade, sanctions, economic data, company filings and official posts on X. It's short, so you can read it before US markets open.
How it works
- Primary sources only. Every item comes from an official source: a government, central bank, regulator, court or company filing.
- Every item is linked. Each story links straight to the original document or statement.
- Facts, not opinion. We report what was said or done. No commentary, predictions or spin.
- Labelled by source. Each item shows its source type (for example CENTRAL BANK, GOVERNMENT or SEC FILING) and links to the original.
- No official source, no story. If we can't link it to an official primary source, it isn't in the brief.
- Official X posts are labelled as posts. We quote them as statements, not as proof of what they say.
Who it's for
Anyone who wants the day's important news without the noise: investors, people who work in finance, policy or business, students, and anyone who'd rather read the source than someone's take on it.
Free
The daily brief is free. A paid founding tier is planned; joining the waitlist costs nothing, and we'll email you before anything is ever charged.
Information only, not investment advice.
