As Harry Reid prepares for retirement, here’s a part of his legacy that will be transformative for the country long after his time in the Senate is over.
I wanted to tell you that next month we’ll be launching our annual TPM Prime sign up drive. Prime, in case you don’t know, is our membership program, everything you like about TPM, just more of it. I’ll be telling you all about it and encouraging you to sign up. Currently we’re running our longform series on the rapid growth of renewable energy sources for Prime members only. With a Prime membership you see dramatically fewer ads and a faster site. And of course you help TPM remain vital and growing. I will be telling you more about next month, the current offerings and the new ones we’re rolling out this spring. So sign up and join us.

I doubt very much that most of the companies and organizations that have announced boycotts or opposition in recent days thought they would be doing so before Salesforce’s Marc Benioff made his announcement just five days ago.
