Talking Points Memo – Indivisible Portola Valley

TALKING POINTS MEMO (TPM) is an independent news organization that publishes reporting and analysis about American politics, public policy and political culture.

We devote extensive resources to critical policy stories, like the decade-long GOP effort to repeal Obamacare, voter suppression, and the more recent push to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census.

We keep close tabs on the political fringe — militias, white nationalists, conspiracy theorists and more — because we believe they are greater drivers of American politics than mainstream news coverage allows.
