We have people writing in expressing real contempt for our fundraising, but at the same time lauding the organization's mission and work. The reason you trust RSN is because you fund it. However annoying and invasive that may be.
Yes it works. Yes we earn your trust. Yes it's annoying.

EXCERPT:
ast Sunday, a boisterous group of protesters, primarily women, marched through Washington. They stopped in front of the home of Mitch McConnell, the Senate majority leader, and gathered on the steps of the supreme court. The protest, called “Reclaim the Court”, was led by civil rights groups like Planned Parenthood Action, the Center for Popular Democracy, and the Women’s March, and was meant to mark the first anniversary of Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation, and came on the heels of new reporting that lends corroboration to accusations of sexual assault by and provides greater evidence that he lied under oath at his confirmation hearings, charges which he has denied.

Juan Cole | Winners and Losers From Trump Throwing Syrian Kurds Under the Bus
Juan Cole, Informed Comment
Cole writes: "The reasons for which the Washington Establishment is appalled at Trump's abrupt withdrawal of US special operations troops from northern Syria are not necessarily the right ones."

EXCERPT:
Former special presidential envoy for combating ISIL Brett McGurk wrote, “Trump tonight after one call with a foreign leader provided a gift to Russia, Iran, and ISIS.”
I have enormous respect for McGurk, a seasoned diplomat with vast and intensive experience in the field, who played an important role in the defeat of the ISIL terrorist cult and earlier in negotiating the release of US prisoners in Iran.
But I disagree with this take on Trump’s move out of Syria (and apparently Trump intends to transfer out the remaining 200 special operations personnel, which he may as well, since they will be persona non grata in Kurdish Syria).
It is difficult to see in what way Russia is benefited by Turkey’s incursion into northeast Syria.
Russia and Turkey are more or less low-key enemies in Syria. Russia backs to the hilt the Baathist government of President Bashar al-Assad and has given his Syrian Arab Army (SAA) troops intensive air support as they have reconquered most of the country.
