In 2000, during the presidential election recount in Florida, Marshall launched the one-man blog TalkingPointsMemo. Marshall received a George Polk Award in 2008 for reporting on the 2007 US Attorney firing scandal that led to the resignation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and a Sidney Hillman award in 2006 for reporting on President Bush's attempt to phase out Social Security.
