Congressional races

California financier Tom Steyer’s $20 million ad campaign to impeach President Donald Trump has alienated some of the Democratic leaders with the influence to make impeachment a reality.

As The Daily Caller's Jack Crowe details, some within the Democratic leadership fear that aggressively pursuing impeachment will only serve to turn Republican and independents against the party and jeopardize their opportunity to flip Congress in 2018.

There was something very revealing about Charlottesville and its aftermath. Not the behavior of the president, or the disturbing resiliency of Nazism, or the willingness of some counter-protesters to initiate violence. We saw how the repugnant actions of a very tiny percentage of people can be manufactured into an all-encompassing narrative – while the corporatocracy continues fleecing America.

Chicago, Illinois, has a chronic inflated state problem disguised as a schooling problem. In order to eradicate the symptom, Mayor Rahm Emanuel has decided to attack those who suffer from it and not the actual root of the problem — adopting a classic “more of the same” approach.

For months now the entire country has been forced to listen as Democrats and the media prematurely boasted about the Georgia special election being a 'yuge' referendum on the Trump administration.  Guess what, it wasn't. 

Update 5 (8:10 EST):

According to the Washington Post, Ossoff has taken a small lead as Dekalb County votes have started to flow in.  That said, Ossoff was expected to perform better in early voting so only time will tell if his narrow lead will hold up once in-person votes start to get counted.

Insiders tell me about 145,000 voted early, either in person or by mail. Ossoff barely leads (0.6%) what's in so far, about 120,000 votes.
