Monika Bauerlein,
CEO

Dear Reader,

The next few months are make-or-break for Mother Jones’ fundraising, and we need more online readers to pitch in than have been of late. In "It's Not a Crisis. This Is the New Normal," we take a level-headed look at the brutal economics of journalism, why investigative reporting like you get from us matters, and why we're optimistic we can grow our base of support in a big way—starting with hitting a huge $300,000 goal in just three weeks. Please learn more and donate if you can right now.

We’ve written about how the Office of Special Counsel has abdicated its responsibilities to protect whistleblowers under the guidance of its current director, Scott Bloch, a religious conservative and Bush appointee. We’ve also written about how Bloch’s investigation of Karl Rove is a bit suspicious.

The Cest Moi Political Blog got a hold of a representative from the OSC and gets his thoughts on some of this, and on other things. You can check it out here.
