Marshall expanded his operation again in 2006, launching ''[[TPMmuckraker]]''. The site focuses on political corruption, and was originally staffed by [[Paul Kiel]] and [[Justin Rood]]. Rood has since moved on to ''[[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]'' and its blog ''[[The Blotter]]''. Kiel has recently been joined by two new staff reporter-bloggers, [[Laura McGann]] and [[Spencer Ackerman]]. ''TPMmuckraker'' has attempted to organize its readers to plow through and read [[document dump]]s by governmental entities engaging in [[cover-up]]s.<ref>{{Cite news| url=http://www.nysun.com/article/50895 | publisher=[[The New York Sun]] | title=New Technique Lets Bloggers Tackle Late-Night News Dumps |  first=Josh | last=Gerstein | date=March 21, 2007 | access-date=June 15, 2007}}</ref>
