UPDATE: She’s an incumbent running for re-election, but we’d be remiss if we didn’t include in this post a mention for Sen. Kerry Donovan of Vail, who is similarly crushing her Republican opponent Olen Lund in fundraising totals: $147,525 for Donovan to a mere $13,175 for Lund. For a seat considered competitive, this is another ominous […]
The Pueblo Chieftain’s Peter Roper ran a story over the long weekend that we have to say we’re not surprised a bit to see–GOP Rep.

UPDATE: CNN’s Chris Cillizza breaks down what we know about Woodward’s upcoming book and what it says about President Trump: Yes, it’s as bad as you thought it was. Maybe worse.
