Without dialing for dollars or lobbyist meetings, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez raised more money than any other House Democrat in the third quarter, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who is known for her fundraising prowess.

Regardless of the fact that his fellow Republicans overwhelmingly support the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, Trump has made noises of threatening to veto the bill when it reaches his desk. His rationale is less than compelling.

If House Democrats can hold up, and find even a few more compelling witnesses to put in front of the American people to move public opinion further in their direction (and therefore pressure Republicans to move off their absolutist, "defend-Trump-at-all-costs" position and consider joining the rational process), the better off we all could be.

Rep. Stefanik may be a young, junior member of the House Intelligence Committee, but she clearly has embraced her new role as defender of Donald Trump with enthusiasm.

It's impossible to know now. But Trump may just tweet himself into a corner where even a Republican Senate has no choice but to remove him from office.

Influence peddling has only grown rampaciously during the Trump administration. It now appears to touch all three branches and it's a bipartisan problem.

If Sessions were to regain the seat, certainly much of his agenda would track that of Trump's. But that doesn't mean Sessions would make things easy for his old boss.

It is trying to layer this prurient interest on top of what was a legitimate concern about a House member's inappropriate relationship which is absolutely wrong... and trying to intimate anything about Hill's bisexuality.

If the voters of Utah were to punish Romney in any way for this Pierre Delecto business, they are fools.

Americans of all political pursuasions owe Speaker Pelosi a deep debt of gratitude to know that someone in authority is still willing to stand up for American interests.
