Most days throughout the year, this site collects and shares an incredible lineup of amazing photos around that day’s topic. But in celebration of 2008, they’ve collected their favorite […]

Podesta announced that all policy documents from official meetings with outside organizations will be publicly available for review and discussion on Change.gov.
