24 June 18 It's Live on the HomePage Now:   Reader Supported News 911 CALL FOR DONATIONS - We have 48 hours to go and we are down 30% in donations from just 30 days ago. This is serious.

18 June 18 It's Live on the HomePage Now:   Reader Supported News WE HAVE AN IMMEDIATE PROBLEM ON DONATIONS RIGHT NOW - It’s Monday morning and we have only a handful of very small donations. At this pace we will have a very bad day of fundraising. That is something we cannot afford at this stage. This is a “right now” problem. No choice but to get this moving, no matter who that offends. Who can donate? Seriously. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News Sure, I'll make a donation! FOCUS: Frank Rich | Trump's Summit Spectacle Was Just a Momentary Distraction From His Bigger Problems  Frank Rich, New York Magazine Rich writes: "What is going to dawn on Trump now is that in television terms the summit was only a limited series while the Mueller inquiry, and its many attendant subplots, is an open-ended series with no season finale yet in view."

03 June 18 It's Live on the HomePage Now:   Reader Supported News FOCUS: Frank Rich | When Trump Attacks Sessions, He Sounds Like a Guilty Man  Frank Rich, New York Magazine Rich writes: "So you’d think. If Trump is innocent of all potential charges in the Russia probe, why would he want a loyal puppet in charge of the Mueller investigation except to obstruct it?"

10 May 18 It's Live on the HomePage Now: Reader Supported News ABSOLUTELY, WILL TANK WITHOUT REASONABLE SUPPORT - As of 10:AM pacific we have a total of 9 donations for the day. In the same time 18,375 readers have visited. That's not reasonable, that's abusive, absurd and it will without any doubt quickly cause a funding crisis for the organization. Seriously. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News Sure, I'll make a donation! FOCUS: Frank Rich | Following the Money in Trumpland Leads to Ugly Places  Frank Rich, New York Magazine Rich writes: "Avenatti, whose revelations have since been verified by the Times and others, is doing exactly what Woodward and Bernstein did in Watergate - following the money."

Thanks to all our supporters in advance! / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News Sure, I'll make a donation! FOCUS: Frank Rich | The Original Donald Trump  Frank Rich, New York Magazine Rich writes: "The New York Establishment will ignore unscrupulous acts to serve its interests - just look how it treated Roy Cohn, onetime lawyer to the president."

08 April 18 AM It's Live on the HomePage Now: Reader Supported News “I LOVE RSN. I WON’T HELP.” Sound like a remarkable statement? It’s not. We hear that sentiment expressed in one form or another all the time. Guess what? That’s not going to cut it. I hate fundraising. I do it because of what we are able to achieve with the funding you provide. You can add and subtract as well as we can. You know what it takes to produce community-based news. It’s not much. How about it? / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News Sure, I'll make a donation!

FOCUS: Frank Rich | The Hidden Logic of Trump's Staff Exodus  Frank Rich, New York Magazine Rich writes: "Trump's top appointees, exemplified by the Cabinet, are in their jobs for only three reasons: to demolish the federal government; to spend taxpayers' money on luxury travel and office refurbishing; and to toady to the president in public and obey his policy whims in private."

15 February 17 PM It's Live on the HomePage Now:   Reader Supported News THE COST OF "FREE" IS OFTEN HIGHER THAN YOU THINK - A reader wrote in today complaining that his RSN newsletter links were not working in Hotmail. Not surprising, Microsoft largely bans RSN newsletters from all of their "free" emails services. It's a good example of what "free" costs you. Fund what matters to you. Make it strong. / Marc Ash - Founder, Reader Supported News Sure, I'll make a donation Frank Rich | It's Time for John Kelly to Go  Frank Rich, New York Magazine   Rich writes: "In a sane or even half-sane White House, Kelly would have been bounced long ago."   READ MORE Florida school shooting suspect, 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz.

08 February 18 It's Live on the HomePage Now:   Reader Supported News TEN DOLLAR DONATIONS ALONE CAN’T DO THIS - People are donating and we do appreciate the effort but $5 and $10 donations alone have no chance of moving the progress bar. The $30 donations, while not huge, have been the backbone of RSN from day one. Not everyone can afford a $30 donation but if you can, those are our mainstay. Sincere thanks to all. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News Sure, I'll make a donation! FOCUS: Frank Rich | The GOP Has Become the Anti-Law Enforcement Party    Frank Rich, New York Magazine   Rich writes: "It is indeed stunning that the party which routinely trashed the Democrats for championing 'criminals' rights' (a.k.a. civil rights) is now, at its highest levels, vilifying the FBI and the Department of Justice."   READ MORE Contribute to RSN Become a Fan of RSN on  Facebook  and  Twitter Update My Monthly Donation
