Geithner’s First Move a Good One

Right now is no time to come up short.

It's time to fight like hell for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme and cruel agenda, where the Big Lie is called a Big Lie, where facts matter, and where accountability at the polls and in the press has a fighting chance. We have our work cut out for us, and we urgently need to raise about 400,000 by Thursday, June 30, to finish our fiscal year on track and give it everything we possibly can. Please help us get there with a donation if you can right now.

Right now is no time to come up short. It's time to fight like hell for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme and cruel agenda, where facts matter, and where accountability at the polls and in the press has a fighting chance. We have our work cut out for us, and we still need to raise upwards of 400,000 by June 30 to give it everything we can. Please help:

Today is Tim Geithner’s first full day as Treasury Secretary, and he’s already made me happy. Just a hour and a half ago, I posted a blog echoing calls for further restrictions on TARP funds, namely that banks receiving them shouldn’t be able to use them to lobby Congress. And guess what? Roughly an hour ago, the AP went up with a story saying that Geithner had issued new rules stating exactly that. Good on ya, sir. (Via Sunlight)
