News from our other blogs on health, the environment, and climate.

Two-Faced: Did the White House ever really want a bipartisan healthcare bill?

Bluffing or Boasting?: Republicans threaten to boycott the climate bill’s markup.

Trick Knee: Medical device manufacturers face a big tax, but they’re not going down easy.

Welcome Visitor: ExxonMobil CEO has been a frequent visitor to the White House… why?

Facebook Foes: Chamber of Commerce gets slammed for climate stance on Facebook.

Dems Call Bluff: Sen. Boxer says climate bill will move, with or without GOP.

WWLBJD?: On healthcare reform, Jim Ridgeway wonders what would LBJ have done?

Rush Tactic: Repubs argue they’re not against reform, Dems are just “rushing it.”

We've never been very good at being conservative.

And usually, that serves us well in doing the ambitious, hard-hitting journalism that you turn to Mother Jones for. But it also means we can't afford to come up short when it comes to scratching together the funds it takes to keep our team firing on all cylinders, and the truth is, we finished our budgeting cycle on June 30 about $100,000 short of our online goal.

This is no time to come up short. It's time to fight like hell, as our namesake would tell us to do, for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme agenda, where facts matter, and where accountability has a chance at the polls and in the press. If you value our reporting and you can right now, please help us dig out of the $100,000 hole we're starting our new budgeting cycle in with an always-needed and always-appreciated donation today.
