THE MUELLER INVESTIGATION NEARS THE WORST CASE SCENARIO

WE ARE DEEP into the worst case scenarios. But as new sentencing memos for Trump associates Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen make all too clear, the only remaining question is how bad does the actual worst case scenario get?

The potential innocent explanations for Donald Trump’s behavior over the last two years have been steadily stripped away, piece by piece. Special counsel Robert Mueller and investigative reporters have uncovered and assembled a picture of a presidential campaign and transition seemingly infected by unprecedented deceit and criminality, and in regular—almost obsequious—contact with America’s leading foreign adversary

Tonight's filings make abundantly clear how uncomfortable a position House Democrats, especially Jerry Nadler, will soon find themselves in.

Analysis: Despite success, Democratic donors need to make smarter choices in 2020

From an email sent to me by the Flippable Team:

“To make the map bluer, Democrats need to make smarter investments. In the 2018 midterms, Flippable sent 91% of funds to candidates whose elections were decided by single-digit margins—and 60% of funds to races within five points. Meanwhile, over 50% of Democrats’ contributions to Congressional campaigns went to races won by more than 10 points. Democrats can—and must—do better in the next election cycle.”
