"House Republicans’ top super PAC is adding $15 million more in new ad reservations, bringing its total investment to over $200 million and piling increased pressure on Democrats as they get outspent at the end of the campaign. The Congressional Leadership Fund’s latest spending deluge is spread across 16 districts and, notably, includes broadcast TV spending in the two biggest media markets in the country, going after Reps. Tom Malinowski (D-N.J.) and Katie Porter (D-Calif.), according to advertising plans shared first with POLITICO."
"Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii said Tuesday she is leaving the Democratic Party because it is controlled by an 'elitist cabal' that is courting nuclear war and is too hostile toward people of faith and the police."
