Friday
I have a plane to catch this morning so I’m going to keep this short. Remember, volunteering for a campaign is the best thing you can do right now to turn this ship around.

Dianne Feinstein-Brett Kavanaugh
Yesterday, Senator Dianne Feinstein received some alarming information about Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh. This information was sent to federal investigators. While Sen. Feinstein refused to make the information public, the rumors around town are saying it has to do with an incident of possible sexual misconduct between Kavanaugh and a women when they were in high school. Never mind though, Republicans are planning to forge ahead and confirm their nominee no matter what. Keep your eyes peeled for more information on this. Friday is looking like it’s going to be a big news drop day.

Mueller’s Office is seeking Cooperation from Manafort.
The pretrial hearing for Paul Manfort, Trump’s former campaign manager, has been delayed. It has been reported that Manafort may be close to an agreement with special counsel Robert Mueller to plead guilty to foreign-lobbying and money-laundering. The big question is, will Manafort cooperate with Mueller and his team? If Manafort does indeed cooperate, it could spell bad news for Trump. Keep an eye out for this. More information is surely to come.

Teachers in Americans
Check out Time’s recent article on the plight of teachers in America. Teachers are experiencing some of the worst wage stagnation of any profession. Many teachers are living paycheck to paycheck and/or working multiple jobs to get by. Is this what we want for our education system? Is this how we should treat the leaders who will shape our children’s future? I sure don’t think so. Read this article and volunteer this weekend in honor of our teachers. Fight to get good people elected who will make education a priority.

Redistrict Your Way to Victory!
From 2009 to 2016, Republicans had all the momentum in state-level elections, and they used those tremendous gains to stymie President Obama and the federal government generally. Now that the GOP has seized power at the federal level, though, we have a chance to flip that dynamic, to turn their president's unpopular malevolence and bumbling into big gains for Democrats in gubernatorial and state legislature races across the country. And we need to, in order to protect the people from what a right-wing White House, Congress, and Supreme Court could/would foist upon us (https://www.bloomberg.com/…/democrats-focus-on-governors-ra…). So, let's support organizations like the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, and find a race or two to support directly as well (even if it isn't in your own state). https://democraticredistricting.com/2018-targets/
