The First TPM Post
Six days after the 2000 presidential election, at 3:37 p.m. EST, TPM came into being with a few surprising words: “As if things couldn’t get any weirder, did you notice the name of the lawyer who made the Republicans’ unsuccessful arguments before that federal judge today?”
Looking back now, it seems like there must have been something that came before that post. As if things couldn’t get any weirder than what? What federal judge?
But there wasn’t anything else. That was the start of TPM, at the height of Florida recount chaos. The first post began in the middle of a conversation that the next post, published 13 minutes later, continued.
