Here Are The Answers For Their Benghazi Questions
Some other things I’ve read this week: Jane Mayer on Ronald Reagan’s Benghazi, Simon Maloy on David Gregory botching an interview with Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Felix Salmon on the importance of journalism aimed at readers, Ned Resnikoff on the global implications of climate change, and Jordan Sargent on John Oliver’s new show. John Whitehouse Twitter: @existentialfish
Questions, Answered.
Where was President Obama that night? Why wasn’t more done militarily? These are a few of the legitimate questions about Benghazi — but conservatives are covering up that they’ve already been answered. Here are the answers to those questions and more: http://mm4a.org/1isFy0l Related: Why are conservatives pushing Benghazi? Because they’re using it to fundraise: http://mm4a.org/1hxcwxe
Obamacare Is Working
Two pieces of news deflated conservative fearmongering about Obamacare this week.

CBS Has A Credibility Problem
A report raised new questions about 60 Minutes‘ Benghazi story and subsequent review, including that Lara Logan reportedly consulted with a Republican Senator, which was never disclosed. Media Matters founder David Brock has asked CBS to reopen their review: http://mm4a.org/1kGeai6Related: News veterans including a former network news president have also asked CBS to reopen their review: http://mm4a.org/1njhbKy Here are the open questions that CBS still has to answer: http://mm4a.org/1urIML8

I can’t thank you enough.
Last night, thanks in large part to our calling on the Wes Knodel Gun Show in Tacoma to require background checks on all gun purchases, the Tacoma City Council voted to require all future gun shows on city property to conduct background checks on all gun sales.
We did it.
As thrilled as we are, this is only the beginning, and only applies to gun shows on Tacoma city property. The next logical step is to pass 594 to make sure that all gun sales, no matter where they happen, go through a background check.
And that is just what you and I will do.
Click here to join me in thanking the Tacoma City Council for making this wise decision.
Thank you for being such a critical part of this campaign.

You’ll be surprised to see all that’s been done since we broke ground for the National Museum of African American History and Culture on February 22, 2012. The concrete has been poured. We’ve begun building some of the exhibition galleries. We installed two signature objects: a Southern Railway railroad car (segregated) and a 1930s guard tower from the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola. And we have acquired more than 25,000 items. To make this museum a reality, we were charged with raising $250 million from individuals and private resources. To date, we have raised approximately $160 million and need to raise an additional $90 million to meet our goal. None of this is possible without support from friends like you. Your tax-deductible gift today will ensure that we keep our construction timetable on schedule and ensure that other elements of this grand project stay on track, too. Together, you and I are creating a center of learning and inspiration that will attract millions of visitors from across the country and around the world. It is here they will come to understand the African American story in full — the moments of great pain and the moments of soaring triumph. We’re moving closer to reality with each passing day! Thank you for your support.
