JANUARY 26: Keep the Russian hack of the US election on the front pages! Click these links!

If you think this is worthwhile, please kick and rec!

Hi, y'all! Me again! I hope everyone has called their senators AGAIN (every day!) and told them to say no to DeVos and Pruitt. (If not, do it now! 202-225-3121).

BUT we CAN'T let the story of the Russian hack of our democracy fall off the front pages.

Please click on the links below to keep news organizations reporting on the Russian hack of the US election and their hack of the US intelligence community. The more clicks the articles get, the more ad revenue they get and the more incentive the publishers have to publish more stories on the Russian hack. Of all the REALLY important stories circulating these days, this might be the MOST important because it is such a threat to our system.

We need our media to investigate it and fight it, and by clicking, we can give them a financial incentive to do that.

Below are 20 articles. Please click on each and scroll through. Also, please spend a little time each day on BuzzFeed and MotherJones. They are leading the way in investigating what is going on.

Thank you again to all who have been following this and clicking.

which means you know that Trumpies could have outed him. Now Eichenwald of Newsweek saying other foreign intel agencies (we already knew Israel) won't give us intel for fear of their LIVES. Thanks Patriotic Republicons! Now who will die for Trump/Putin?

i wish the US media would do it. Rachel Maddow does what she can but she has limited resources. the BBC had people go on the scene and talk to different people.

history is important when it comes to this story. i'm going to see if i can find videos online of the things i saw on tv.

story in a way that reflects the truth of the fact that a hack decided our election. That News Max article does exactly that and reports faithfully the Democratic position.

The fact that it is a right wing source makes it even better. If we can encourage a right wing source that publishing the Democratic position on the hack is what will get it clicks, they will publish more articles with that slant. That is what we want them to do.

So, yes, I get that it's a little greasy, but it's exactly what I'm looking for.
