TPM’s drive is ongoing as we push toward 1,000 new members this year. I wanted to highlight this story as the kind of thing we put your money toward. Josh spent five days in TX, getting up some days before dawn and working late into the night, to tell this story.

The more members we have, the more journalism we can do. That means more staff, but it also means increasing our travel budget.

We're a discerning organization. We spend money on things that get results for readers.

We'd really appreciate you support!

Good journalism requires getting out of the (home) office. At @talkingpointsmemo.com we have reporters on Capitol Hill almost every day. We send reporters to cover court hearings.

That results in coverage like this from @davidkurtz.bsky.social

This all takes time and money, and sometimes, even after we expend it, we find that our lead is a dead end. But we think it is the important work for the moment. And we hope you’ll support our ability to keep doing it by becoming a member.

It is hard, hard work. We do tons of interviews and sift through documents that for one reason or another may never become public. We do round after round of edits to make sure our story is ironclad. We talk to our lawyers to make sure our sources—and journalists—are as protected as they can be.

This is because our time is rarely spent skimming the surface of the day’s stories. We’re not so much going broad as going deep.

Our focus on unearthing new or under-noticed stuff can lead to a weird situation when I talk about work with friends or family: Did I see the latest thing Trump said about Iran? Sure. Do I have the story behind the story? Do I know what to make of it? Not always.

At TPM these days, most of our time is spent attempting to do one of two things: We’re trying to unearth new information, or to pull little-noticed but important information into context and elevate it.
