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.

From Michele Bachmann (R–Crazytown), speaking to the GOP Youth Convention about what Republicans should do if they gain control of Congress in November:

I think that all we should do is issue subpoenas and have one hearing after another. And expose all the nonsense that is going on.

Subpoena, baby, subpoena! I’m pretty sure there’s some dirt to be found in Michelle Obama’s White House garden or Larry Summers’ abuse of his government Diet Coke privileges. Steve Benen has more.
