House committee authorizes subpoenas for White House officials.
We’re coming up on 1500 contributors to our DC Muckraking Fundraising Drive. And we’re hoping to get to 2000 by the end of the day.
As I explained yesterday, we’re doing this — trying to get people to become contributors/subscribers in the sense you do with PBS — because we want to do more muckraking, more digging into stories like the US Attorney Purge. And to do that we need to bring on new reporter-bloggers, particularly one or more right there on Capitol Hill. Who’s really pressing oversight, who’s not? How is the place being run? What stories are hiding there in plain sight?
That’s what we’re trying to do. If you want to join us by contributing a few dollars to hire those reporter-bloggers you can click here to find out how to send a check in the mail or click the button below to make a contribution online.

I’ve had a hard time setting aside time to write considered post on the president’s press conference. But I thought one of the most telling points is that even now he can’t see clear to simply saying they were fired. Maybe ‘fired’ is too blunt a word. Maybe ‘dismissed’ would be better. But if you watch his statement he repeatedly speaks about their ‘resignations’. Go back and watch the video and you’ll see what I mean.
