Charles Pierce | I Don't Need to 'Understand' Anyone Who Still Supports This President  Charles Pierce, Esquire Pierce writes: "The New York Times had a story on Friday that should’ve brought shame and derision upon anyone who voted for the racist monster in the White House, and upon the racist monster that the other racist monster installed at the head of the Department of Justice."

FOCUS: James Risen | Donald Trump Declares War on the Press  James Risen, The Intercept Risen writes: "Donald Trump’s real war on the press has finally begun. Ever since he began his campaign for president, Trump has engaged in a largely rhetorical battle against the press, casting the reporters who cover him as the enemy of the average American and as disseminators of what he calls 'fake news.'"

09 June 18 It's Live on the HomePage Now: Reader Supported News BE NICE OR FINISH MORE QUICKLY - We can take 25 days to finish the June fundraiser or we can easily finish in 15. We find that when we are cordial things take longer. When we turn up the heat, and take the heat, we can end it more quickly. Let’s bite the bullet and get this thing over. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News Sure, I'll make a donation! FOCUS: DNC Signals Its Opposition to Bernie Sanders in 2020 Early  Hunter Walker, Yahoo News Walker writes: "The Democratic National Committee's rules and bylaws committee adopted a new rule on Friday that would prevent outsiders like Bernie Sanders from seeking the party's nomination in the 2020 presidential race. The move seems to be the latest salvo in the ongoing jockeying over the party's future that emerged following the at times bitter primary battle between Hillary Clinton and Sanders in 2016."

I started VoteVets after returning from Iraq because it was clear to me that the voices of progressive veterans were not represented in Congress or in our media. In fact, it was worse than that. Back then, and this may be hard to believe, being a veteran was shorthand for being “conservative.” Or that if you didn’t support more wars you were “against the troops.” I could have never imagined how far we’ve come. Over the past decade, we’ve been decisive in a number of legislative battles and in electing a number of progressive veterans to Congress — veterans like Ted Lieu, Seth Moulton and Tammy Duckworth. As a donor, you helped make that happen. But with some of our biggest challenges ahead, VoteVets needs you more than ever: C an you make a $10 donation to VoteVets today? We have a lot of big fights with Trump ahead, like VA privatization and potentially North Korea, and we can’t do this alone. Thank you again for your continued support. I may not have kno...

Compelling, ambitious reads you can’t afford to miss. When database editor Steven Rich gets involved in an investigation, revelations almost always follow. This week Rich, database editor Ted Mellnik and reporters Wesley Lowery and Kimbriell Kelly delivered a blockbuster look at how often homicides go unsolved in 50 of America's largest and most violent cities. In some neighborhoods in Indianapolis, Baltimore and Omaha, arrests are rarely made. With the help of Post researchers, designers and editors, they mapped and analyzed where those killings occur. Rich, who has worked on two Pulitzer Prize-winning projects in his five years at The Post, said the idea for "Murder with Impunity" began almost two years ago with a story about Chicago's spike in homicides. What he, Lowery and Kelly realized, he said, was that "Chicago was getting really bad at solving homicides." In analyzing 25 years worth of data, Rich learned that the solve rate had fal...

09 June 18 It's Live on the HomePage Now:   Reader Supported News WE ARE ASKING FOR A 'FAIR SHAKE' ON DONATIONS: We never believed that all the readers would donate all the time, nor do we expect it. We absolutely understand that extenuating circumstances happen. But less than 1% of the subscribers donating? That's not right or fair. We have no choice but to stand up and protest that. RSN was in fact built entirely with public funding. It's worth preserving. Give us a hand once in a while. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News Sure, I'll make a donation! Jane Mayer | One Koch Brother Forces the Other Out of the Family Business  Jane Mayer, The New Yorker Mayer writes: "The retirement of David Koch from Koch Industries will make it easier to see more clearly what has been true from the start: Charles and David Koch, who came to be known as 'the Koch brothers,' were equals in bloodlines and in wealth, but Charles has always been the...
