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.

FRIDAY CATBLOGGING….We’re in the middle of a mild Santa Ana condition right now, which means it’s been pretty warm this week. Despite this, Domino has taken to burrowing under the bedroom quilt for her afternoon snooze. So that’s what she’s doing on the left. On the right, Inkblot, having finally cottoned to the fact that something is going on underneath the blankets, heads over to check it out. Needless to say, this had potential for considerable merriment, but after taking a brief swipe at Domino’s paw, which was sticking out of the blanket, he got sort of addled and headed downstairs for a snack. That’s always been the real center of his universe, after all.
