Charles Pierce, Esquire 
Pierce writes: "These are the real lone wolves in this country. People living on the far fringes of The Grid, nursing private grudges, and finding meaning in lunatic causes they read about on the Intertoobz and discovering in themselves the whiskey courage it takes to bring your private self into the public space."

Senator Elizabeth Warren [D-MA]

Thank you Senator Warren! U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren  — US Senator for Massachusetts   Washington  ·  It’s been over 100 days since Donald Trump ended protection for Dreamers – 800,000 young people who are part of our American family. It’s been over 100 days since funding for community health centers lapsed. It’s been over 100 days since hurricanes ravaged Texas, Florida, and Puerto Rico – and Congress still hasn’t provided enough funding for disaster relief. For over 100 days, Republicans have refused to fix any of these issues, and today’s stopgap spending bill just kicks the can further down the road. We don't need new promises. We need new laws and real solutions.

13 December 17 It's Live on the HomePage Now:   Reader Supported News IS "SURVIVING DECEMBER" THE NEW NORMAL? Increasingly, December is becoming a fundraising nightmare. Traditionally, December was always considered a month where we would get a year-end boost. It's not only no longer that, it's rapidly becoming the worst month of the year. No traction at all on donations. Big concern. / Marc Ash - Founder, Reader Supported News Sure, I'll make a donation! FOCUS: Jonathan Chait | Voters to Roy Moore: F*ck You and the Horse You Rode in On    Jonathan Chait, New York Magazine   Chait writes: "Roy Moore is Donald Trump, but more so.

Md. woman sues NRA after boyfriend removed her from his will before committing suicide by Richard Reeve/ABC7 Thursday, December 21st 2017 HAGERSTOWN, Md. (ABC7) —  A Hagerstown woman is suing the National Rifle Association, saying her longtime live-in boyfriend was mentally ill when he removed her from his will, was arrested for threatening to kill her son, and replaced her in the will with an NRA foundation before he committed suicide with a shotgun. Stormy Morse says Lewis Tabler Jr. was swindled by foundation attorneys into giving up his $500,000 in life savings. Foundation attorneys dispute that, saying he told them he didn’t want her “to receive a dime” of his retirement plan.
