FUNDRAISING
WELL BELOW THE RSN STANDARD: Good people are making badly needed donations to

The article reports on a CIA review of recent U.S. covert operations to determine their effectiveness."

McConnell's Mission: Degrade and Destroy the Obama Presidency

Anastasia Pantsios, EcoWatch
Pantsios writes: "As Republicans have made clear their desire to rush approval of the Keystone XL pipeline and the Senate prepares to vote next week under pressure from pipeline-favoring Louisiana Democrat Mary Landrieu, President Obama is strongly suggested this morning the legislation won't get past his desk."
