TomPaine.com

TomPaine.com is for people who want to keep in touch with the progressive community but don't have time to surf dozens of websites. We do it for you. It's also for people who care about the progressive cause and are looking for an online home. Each day we scour the country—from Capitol Hill to newspapers to think tanks and activist groups—and highlight the news, ideas and actions that you need to stay fully informed. Because we're based in Washington, D.C., expect us to be obsessed with the workings of the nation's capitol. Here's what you'll find on our site:

Well-informed, superbly argued opinion pieces

Overlooked but newsworthy reporting

An insightful house web log of the events, stories, people and political actions driving Washington

Humorous, interesting and outrageous tidbits and visuals you'll want to send to your friends

TomPaine.com was founded by John Moyers in 1995 to amplify public-interest voices and take on controversial issues—often in coordination with regular advertisements published on the Op-Ed page of The New York Times.
