I am in full support of RSN and have found it immensely helpful in keeping abreast of our body politic from a perspective which is not driven by money but by the appeal to truth and accountability among all the institutions of our government as well as among all of us who are citizens of this country and world. I have sent what is for me a significant contribution to you, RSN.
I hope that your cause will not only survive but thrive in the months and years ahead, because I for one am fully convinced that we as citizens need what you provide. Thank you.
Donovan L., Ph. D.

RSN: Norman Solomon | The Toxic Lure of “Guns and Butter”
Norman Solomon, Reader Supported News
Solomon writes: "With Democrats in a House majority for the first time in eight years, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and most other party leaders continue to support even more largesse for the Pentagon. But many progressive Congress members are challenging the wisdom of deference to the military-industrial complex – and, so far, they’ve been able to stall the leadership’s bill that includes a $17 billion hike in military spending for 2020."

Your Tax Day Reminder That Everyone Hates the Trump Tax Cuts
Paul Blest, Splinter
Blest writes: "The conventional wisdom for a long time in American politics has been that tax cuts are a surefire way to beef up support of whoever passes them, while tax hikes are a one-way ticket to unpopularity. Donald Trump’s tax cuts are apparently throwing a big wrench in that idea."
