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.

Obama Orders All Schools to Let Transgender Students Use Bathrooms Fitting Their Gender Identity

The guidance doesn't have the force of law, but tells schools how the Department of Education intends to enforce Title IX in the future. And because Title IX is directly tied to federal education funding, the guidance carries an implied threat: Follow the federal guidelines or risk losing those funds.
The letter is addressed to all schools that receive federal funding, including 16,500 school districts and 7,000 colleges, universities and trade schools. It also applies to charter schools, for-profit schools, libraries and museums that receive federal aid.
Paul Krugman | Send In the Clowns
Paul Krugman, The New York Times
Krugman writes: "Still boggled by reports that Trump, having realized that the numbers on his tax plan aren't remotely credible, has decided to fix things by bringing in as experts ... Larry Kudlow and Stephen Moore. I mean, at some level this was predictable. But it still tells you a lot about both Donald the Doofus and his chosen party."
