Progressive Blogger Matt Stoller Takes Job In Congress

(I wanted more people to see this, and not just because I am running errands today and won't be able to blog until later. Best wishes to Matt, who for three years has been the best writing partner I could ask for.

Also, Open Left isn't going anywhere, and over the next couple of days, we will have a series of announcements on our new content. Stay tuned

Well, I suppose I had to make the announcement at some point, so here goes. I won't be blogging at OpenLeft for some time. I've taken a job inside the House of Representatives (more on that when I've cleared what I can say) to see how the place works and to help create the space for more progressive policies.

I'm sort of curious, who's he going to work for?

In a more cynical, pre-post-ideological time, this would have been called selling out. I'm glad we're moving past labels, and appreciating good work both outside and inside the system.
