Dear Reader,

December is make-or-break for Mother Jones’ fundraising. We have a $350,000 goal that we simply cannot afford to miss. And in "No Cute Headlines or Manipulative BS," we explain, as matter-of-fact as we can, how being a nonprofit means everything to us. Bottom line: Donations big and small make up 74 percent of our budget this year and are urgently needed this month, and all online gifts will be matched and go twice as far until we hit our goal. Please pitch in if you can right now.

December is make-or-break for Mother Jones’ fundraising, and in "No Cute Headlines or Manipulative BS," we hope that giving it to you as matter-of-fact as we can will work to raise the $350,000 we need to raise this month. Donations make up 74 percent of our budget this year, and all online gifts will be matched and go twice as far until we hit our goal.

When parts of the Washington press corps got egg on their faces for circulating suggestions from “sources close to the White House” that Judge Edith Clement would get Bush’s Supreme Court nod, some wondered who exactly these oft-quoted, and off-the-mark, leakers were. Now Ryan Lizza has a handy guide to the dozen or so folks who will talk when the White House won’t. Keep it bookmarked for the next time their names pop (or don’t pop) up.
