What's on your bookmarks bar, newswise?

What are DUers favorite go-to places online for intelligent news and commentary? What two or three sites do you check every morning before work (or obsessively all day long LOL)?

I'd like to find a few new good ones for my bookmarks bar, appreciate any recommendations. Either individual blogs, magazines, anything.

If I had to name three, besides the big ones like NYT/WP, I'd say:
Vox
http://www.vox.com/
Paul Krugman's Blog
http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/
The Atlantic
https://www.theatlantic.com/

They appear pretty straight forward but I'm keeping an eye on them.

It's going to be investigative journalism and accountability.

He and it are good to follow on Facebook and the website is coming soon.

DU
Washington Post
Huffington Post
Talking Points Memo
Political Wire
The Hill
Salon
Politico

Gives me a fair opinion of what's going on and what the Teabillys are thinking too.
