Although I'm mostly asking about politics and general news sites, I'm also curious what else people read as I'm starting to get sick of going to the same few websites.
For me, that means DU (obviously), Daily Kos, TPM, HuffPost, the Washington Post, and occasionally Slate and Salon, although I've never really gotten into the last two. I also like to read Laurence Tribe's Twitter page and select NYT columnists (mostly Krugman).

I like to cook, and have a few favorite recipe sites as well.
And I can't do without my daily funnies on Arcamax or GoComics.

(11,175 posts)It's a quick precis of leading political stories.
During a Presidential campaign, the map on the main page shows projections for the Electoral College, based on polling. Now, the map is of the Senate outcomes in 2012, to convey the lay of the land for this year's Senate races. As nominees are determined and polling begins, the map will change to reflect that information. Meanwhile, a separate page gives a one-paragraph summary of each Senate race.
The map shows the Senate, but each day's stories are all over the political landscape. Most of them aren't about a specific Senate race. The headlines for today (Feb. 7):
Kelly Speaks Out on DACA
California Sues Trump, and Guess Who the Judge Will Be?
Trump Is Dragging Down California Republican Representatives
Ohio Approves Referendum That Would End Gerrymandering
Pot is the New Gay Marriage
Carter Page Tries to Explain Advising Both Trump and Putin
Appeals Court Upholds Trump University Settlement
Trump Wants a Military Parade
