What do an FBI arrest, a special prosecutor, insider trading, tax breaks spent on yachts, and not disclosing shady businesses all have in common?
It all stinks of Republican corruption.
Let's take a look 👀

Now that #NY27 GOP Rep. Chris Collins was arrested and indicted on insider trading, his seat in Congress is in play!

Holy crap. The new Sabato Crystal Ball House ratings change is...big.
This is the first time the Crystal Ball has given Democrats better than 50/50 odds of taking the House. And there is a LOT to unpack here.

centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/ar…
Here are Sabato's topline changes.
5 races are no longer Safe R: #IA04, #IN02, #IN09, #PA16, #TX31
3 races shift from Likely R to Lean R: #AR02, #FL16, #NM02
9 more R seats are now Tossups: #IA03, #IL06, #KY06, #MI08, #OH01, #OH12, #TX07, #WV03
And #FL13 is now Safe D.

And #FL13 is now Safe D.
Here are a few takeaways:
-White nationalist Rep. Steve King has a credible challenge
-IN and WV have competitive House races (and the extra attention from Ds could help their senators here)
-#OH12 special is REALLY close
-Dem women vets (McGrath, Hegar) are kicking ass.

Q2 Fundraising is over, and Democrats did a great job!
But I was chatting with @ybbkaren and an interesting question came up:
With SO MANY great candidates, how do we decide who needs donations the most? Many are worthy, but our personal funds are not unlimited.
Q2 Fundraising is over, and Democrats did a great job!
But I was chatting with @ybbkaren and an interesting question came up:
With SO MANY great candidates, how do we decide who needs donations the most? Many are worthy, but our personal funds are not unlimited.
So I came up with an idea for my own list of Dems who need $$$ based upon the following criteria:
*They have won their primary
*They are trying to flip “swing” GOP-held seats (per @CookPolitical ratings)
*They are behind their GOP opponents in “Cash on Hand” (per @OpenSecretsDC)
*They have won their primary
*They are trying to flip “swing” GOP-held seats (per @CookPolitical ratings)
*They are behind their GOP opponents in “Cash on Hand” (per @OpenSecretsDC)
That’s not to say that other Democrats in swing districts are not worthy. They are. But the following, from a strategic $$$ perspective, might be the best place to donate *for now*.
This is the list of those House candidates, and their donation links, based on that criteria:

What do we have the most control over? Voting, helping others register to vote, getting out the vote, and flipping as many seats as possible in the #Midterms2018
Here are 27 seats Democrats can pick up, followed by candidates. Direct some energy to them. 1/7

The GOP's silence about ripping children from their parents is deafening.

🚨 Please share broadly! As usual, the Kochs are dumping tons of money into GOP candidates...especially into *critical swing districts* we need to flip.

Underneath the hood, the warning signs compound for @JohnCulberson
"Congressman Culberson has a net-negative favorability (-7 pts), with only 32% of voters having a favorable view to 39% who have an unfavorable view."
"Congressman Culberson has a net-negative favorability (-7 pts), with only 32% of voters having a favorable view to 39% who have an unfavorable view."
That's a stark contrast with @Lizzie4Congress 14-point net-positive favs, a rough 2-to-1 ratio (30% to 16%)

1. During the March for Our Lives on Saturday, my 8-yr-old son Leo and I were walking arm in arm down Travis. “Look, Mommy!” He excitedly pointed at the poster in front of us: SCHOOLS ARE FOR LEARNING, NOT LOCKDOWNS. “We just had another lockdown yesterday!”
2. “You did?” I said, coming to a halt. My husband and I talk about gun violence whenever there is a news story about a mass shooting, which happens all too frequently—but my son has never demonstrated any interest in the topic.

3. “When I was a kid, we only had fire drills,” I said sadly.
“Oh, we have those too, but not as much,” my son said in his matter-of-fact, eight-year-old-boy way. “A lockdown is the opposite of a fire drill. In fire drills, we all go outside.”

The #TX07 Congressional race illustrates how the Democratic Party needs to change.
Let's start here:
Last July, @DCCC chair @repbenraylujan declared the party would endorse ANTI-choice candidates.
ONE of the current #TX07 candidates called him out for it: @lcmoser.

Let me repeat:
The CHAIR of the DEMOCRATIC congressional campaign committee publicly stated the party WOULD BE OPEN TO ENDORSING CANDIDATES WHO OPPOSED A WOMAN'S HAVING CONTROL OVER HER OWN BODY.
Read that again and take it in.

DCCC Chair @repbenraylujan couched the decision in the SAME MISGUIDED SO-CALLED "POPULIST" LANGUAGE we hear lately:
"We have to be a big family in order to win the House back."
Translation:
We have to pander to anti-choice WM to win, and we'll use WOMEN'S BODIES as a chit.
