Talking Points Memo (TPM) is a liberal political news and commentary website that started as a blog created and run by Josh Marshall. It debuted in November 2000. The name is a tongue-in-cheek reference to a "talking points memo" that was often discussed during the Clinton-era Monica Lewinsky scandal.
TPM became one of the first online-only political news websites to launch a membership program in 2012. As of 2025, the site has more than 35,000 members and about a dozen staffers.
