The group blog of The American Prospect

TAPPED, the Prospect's award-winning group blog, is a link-intensive collection of musings, ramblings, opinions and other assorted writing on the developments of the day -- from political gossip to policy debates to commentary on material from other publications. The magazine's staff and a roster of outside contributors submit items, which are edited and posted by the editors of TAP Online.

Ezra Klein is "very, very good," says Paul Krugman. He is "a man with an apparent soft spot for command- and-control economics," says U.S. News and World Report. He is also a staff writer at The American Prospect, a frequent guest on MSNBC's Hardball, an unashamed health policy wonk, and an individual deeply committed to repopularizing graphs and charts as a legitimate element of political punditry. This is his blog.
