Quick housekeeping note.  I’ll be at Netroots Nation in Pittsburgh on Friday and Saturday of next week.  It’s always nice to meet people who read the blog, so if you’ll be there too and happen to see me wandering the hallways, be sure to stop me and say hi.

I’ll also be moderating the noon keynote panel on Saturday, “Building a 21st Century Economy.”  The panelists, who will be doing most of the actual talking, are Jon Corzine, governor of New Jersey; Anna Burger, chair of the Change to Win labor coalition; and Dean Baker, the economist who’s been warning us about the housing bubble longer than just about anyone.  Should be a good session.  If you have any questions you’d like tossed at these guys, leave ’em in comments.

THANKS FOR READING. NOW ONE QUICK ASK...

Trump and his allies are clamping down on the press—using lawsuits, lies, intimidation, and the power of the federal government. While major media outlets cave, Mother Jones won’t back down. To help us stand strong, a generous board member just chipped in a $50,000 digital matching gift. Will you help us make the most of it?

Every dollar you give online through September 30 will be matched dollar-for-dollar.

The forces working to demolish trust in the media and the very idea of shared facts are not slowing down. If you believe in kickass, truth-telling independent journalism, now is the time to show it. Please give what you can—any amount—and know that every dollar will go twice as far.
