Hi Folks,
I am a regular subscriber, plus I just kicked in another $30 (I wish it could be more) in the hopes that you make the goal you need to keep going.
I get deluged daily by our screwed up political system wanting money. However, as I am forced daily to go through and trash dozens of these requests, I never pass up at least looking at your news emails.
I deeply appreciate your work and if you have to become a subscriber-based email operation, count me in. But please, stay in business.

'Enemy of the People': Trump's War on the Media Is a Page From Nixon's Playbook
David Smith, Guardian UK
Smith writes: "War reporting has never been more dangerous, as correspondents are increasingly treated not as neutral observers but legitimate targets. Now there are signs that Donald Trump and his Republican supporters are taking a similar attitude to political journalists, casting them as enemy combatants and fair game for character assassination."

Dan Crenshaw Is Worried That Universal Background Checks Might Keep Him From Arming His Friends
Josh Israel, ThinkProgress
Excerpt: "It is unclear why he doesn't think his friends could pass background checks."
Josh Israel, ThinkProgress
Excerpt: "It is unclear why he doesn't think his friends could pass background checks."
EXCERPTS:
ep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX), an NRA-backed gun-rights advocate, dismissed calls for universal background checks even after a mass shooting in his own state that might have been prevented by such a law. His reasoning: he wants to be able to arm his friends.Situations like this story are why we protect the 2nd Amendment.
Side note: With universal background checks, I wouldn’t be able to let my friends borrow my handgun when they travel alone like this. We would make felons out of people just for defending themselves. twitter.com/abc13miya/stat…
