Let's work together and make this happen!  28 January 18 It's Live on the HomePage Now:   Reader Supported News IT’S BEEN A PRETTY BAD MONTH FOR LARGER DONATIONS - The larger donations have been scarce this month. We have had some and those were greatly appreciated, but overall not very many. While January is never as good as December, it has always been quite a bit better than we are seeing right now. It’s going to be a bad month for funding. Right now we are just trying to keep it close. We could use a leg up. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News Sure, I'll make a donation!

Defeat is inevitable. Everybody knows it, even Trump Washington’s legal immune system is about to expel an infection from the body politic LUCIAN K. TRUSCOTT IV 01.27.2018 I remember the day I first realized that Richard Nixon was doomed and one way or another would be removed from office. It was deep in the winter of 1974, I had been working for months on my own little corner of the Watergate story, and I was on Capitol Hill to meet one of the deputy counsels on the Senate Watergate Committee. I had been given an address on Capitol Hill for their offices, and when I arrived there I found myself standing outside an old movie theater. I was confused. This was supposed to be the office of the  Senate Watergate Committee ! I stopped somebody on the street and showed them my notebook where I had written down the address and asked them if I was in the right place. Yes, the passerby said. You’re at the right place. They’re right in there. I entered through the theater’s f

President Trump is trying to reshape the federal judiciary around his far-right dogma – and alarmingly, he's succeeding. As a member of the Judiciary Committee, every month I see unqualified and extreme nominees committed to reversing decades of critically important progress recognizing and protecting reproductive rights, LGBT rights, and more. We've seen nominees who've spewed hateful rhetoric. Nominees who can't answer basic questions about the law. Nominees rated "not qualified" by the American Bar Association. They all have one thing in common: an extremist ideology that threatens the rights of individual Americans. And many now have lifetime appointments, where they will rule on issues from women's rights to gerrymandering. I'm doing everything I can to stop these extreme appointees. We won't win every fight, but we can't afford to get discouraged. We're strongest when we stand united, and that's why I want to he

FOCUS: William Saletan | The Obstruction Case Is Getting Solid    William Saletan, Slate   Saletan writes: "President Trump tried to fire special counsel Robert Mueller. That fact, reported Thursday night by the New York Times and confirmed by sources for the Washington Post and other papers, shreds the assurances from Republican lawmakers that Trump would never attempt such a thing. It also bolsters key elements of the case for impeachment."   READ MORE Contribute to RSN Become a Fan of RSN on  Facebook  and  Twitter Update My Monthly Donation

The former Southern Confederate States endure Republican Governance that has  inflicted on them:  High Levels of Poverty Poor Education & Graduate Performance perpetuating ignorance  Lack of Economic Opportunities  Poor HEALTH CARE & large uninsured populations  Regressive Public Policies & Bigotry that WARN corporate employers and tourists      to shun the area while other states thrive on tourist dollars Poor environmental policies  Poor worker protection GOP Rigged Elections and much else     The Moral Bankruptcy spread throughout these states and rapidly spreading  across the nation now defines the Republican Party.
