A white, brunette woman sitting at a wooden table, wearing glasses. Her face is obscured by a newspaper she's holding with both hands.

At Mother Jones, we see it time and time again: a single investigation can ripple across the world. It can expose corruption, influence policy, and inspire action.

Scott Weiner has forced California to build a lot more homes. Now he's running for Nancy Pelosi's seat. Can his "getting shit done" ethos work in a broken Congress? www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

These are terrifying times. Corporate media is caving utterly. Support non-profit media, public media, local media, and the last few old MSM companies with good owners.

We tick at least two of those boxes and so if you value our reporting, you can give here secure.motherjones.com/flex/mj/key/...

Now he's headed to help run the FBI.

The thing I love most about running is talking to everyone endlessly about how I'm not doing it.

As someone who occasionally dabbles in troll-like behavior, I kinda get Gilbert Arenas. Jokes is jokes. But his KAT take was so mindblowingly misogynist and cruel that I can help but think of him as a bully.

How a Nazi-obsessed amateur historian went from obscurity to the top of Substack Tucker Carlson has called Darryl Cooper the “most important popular historian working in the United States today.” His background is more extreme than previously reported.

This Holocaust denier has the most popular history newsletter on Substack -- truly scary (not not surprising!) stuff: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
