Dear MoJo Reader,
Have you been following the news less? A lot of people have, and that can be good, but it can also spell trouble for those of us in the news business. We're about to find out, because Mother Jones has a $350,000 fundraising goal right now. In "Slow News Is Good News," I try to reset after several chaotic years and make a longer-lasting case for why our nonprofit journalism matters. I hope you'll read it and that you'll pitch in if you can.

Of course Pruitt can make a comeback in Oklahoma if he feels like it. Or he can stay in DC and write his own ticket. A book deal from Regnery, on-air analyst for Fox, VP of the American Petroleum Institute, head of a Super PAC, VP for Environmental Affairs at the Heritage Foundation—you name it, it’s his. Pruitt is a conservative hero, all the more so for being hounded out of his job by the liberal media. His ethical lapses will be a plus for his future career, not a minus.
