A Serious Fight With the Orange Menace No Doubt
The struggle to save American Democracy from the clutches of Donald Trump and his enablers over the past three years has been intense to say the least. We are clearly at a crossroads. RSN has been a vital player in the network of organizations meeting the challenge with resolve, day-in and day-out.
RSN is going to fight - that’s a fact.
What we are doing is working. Help with funding please.

Krugman writes: "By Trump-era standards, Ebenezer Scrooge was a nice guy."

EXCERPT:
After all, the explosion of the budget deficit under Trump shows that Republican claims to care about fiscal responsibility were always humbug, that they’re perfectly willing to slash taxes on the rich without offsetting spending cuts. Furthermore, because America spends relatively little money helping the poor, even harsh cuts — like the Trump administration’s new rules on food stamps, which will hurt hundreds of thousands — will at best save only tiny amounts compared with the cost of tax cuts.
And in important cases, the right is so eager to hurt low-income Americans that it’s willing to do so even if there are no budget savings at all.

Consider the case of Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act, which a 2012 Supreme Court decision made optional: States could choose not to participate.
