Atlas and Paul Krugman, as well as whatever political stuff I see from some religious Youtube channels.  Nothing else at this point. 

You like Paul Krugman? Interesting, I'd never have expected.

I have found him to be quite prescient regarding his political and economic commentary (having seen his archive going back to 2000 and earlier), and I think any Republican ought to take him seriously in light of his track record.  Plus, I just like listening to the guy, which perhaps is odd for someone with my views, but it is always a treat to hear him discuss his economic forecasts globally.

I'm glad you think so. Krugman is probably my favorite pundit, despite the fact that I've been disagreeing with him a lot lately. The Conscience of a Liberal has shaped my understanding on American politics, and while you'll strongly disagree with most of his points I think you might still find it a worthwhile read.

I've read excerpts of it and found it pretty fascinating.  One thing I like about Krugman is he often frames his economic philosophy as returning to America's post-WWII economic policies.  As someone who has fond feelings about that era (though more with respect to social/religious issues than economic), I find that approach far more compelling to me than appeals to left-leaning economics based on it being "new" or making "forward progress" or the like.

True! I find it pretty funny how both liberals and conservatives can feel nostalgia for the post-WW2 era for completely different reasons. I remember a while back we came to an agreement that the West started to go downhill after 1973, for totally unrelated reasons. Tongue

Personally, the idea of progress is fundamental to my political philosophy, but obviously I don't take it to mean that everything always only gets better. I just need to believe that every downturn is temporary while most improvements are durable.

Also, for an account of what "went wrong" around the late 60s/early 70s that's neither the standard liberal nor the standard conservative story (although it incorporates elements of both), I think you might like Robert Putnam's work.

     I mostly just rely on Atlas, Google alerts for certain terms, and the input of my family for the news. As far as blogs go, I like 100 Reasons Not to Go to Graduate School, College Misery, and Outside the Law School Scam (basically education-related blogs).

I enjoy about 25 of these (thanks to reading them for Extemp speaking prep in high school), but I'll list a few of my favorites aside from the obvious ones:
Jacobin, The Nation, The American Conservative, The Atlantic, New Yorker,

Really distressing to see so many people reading Breitbart and Jacobin, the two publications that melted the brains of many a young far-right/far-left loony.

I visit InfoWars, Breitbart and /pol/ fairly often; and I also approve of The American Conservative and WorldNetDaily.

Politico- it's very insightful and useful
Vox- it's usually too biased, but has some really interesting pieces from time to time
Atlas- well, I'm here, right?
NYT, Washington Post, CNN, the Guardian- some good journalism
The Onion- top level news, 10/10
538- has some very interesting stuff
Real Clear Politics- some very useful poll trackers

Clicked the US Election Atlas box, thought about it, then slowly unclicked it.


Not on the list but I read them: Vice, The Baffler, Current Affairs. Mostly I just use Twitter over any one site.

Out of the ones selected
The Guardian - despite the loony SJWism, it still has some great stuff on it - especially the long reads and their investigative reporting
Slate
Jacobin
Al Jazeera - not so much any more

From a non-anglophone perspective
Libération - not as high-brow as Le Monde, but much more readable
Marianne - interesting, if biased
Le Temps - by far the best for Swiss news/analysis
