The Democrats are really grasping at straws here.

Barr didn't hide the report. He released it, with much of it unredacted. The Trump administration just managed to spin it and the media bought it hook line and sinker.
If anything they should call CNN, NYT, WAPO to testify why they printed: "TRUMP CLEARED OF COLLUSION!" before anyone had ever seen the report.

Candace Owens is leaving her role as communications director at Turning Point USA. Owens made the announcement in an Instagram post on Wednesday night. “Turning Point is an amazing organization that is fighting a cultural war on college campuses,” Candace wrote. “We love our freedom-fighting students. We love our campus clashes. I have loved every single minute of traveling the country and learning the real spirit of this amazing nation.” Owens has repeatedly been criticized for comments made during her time at Turning Point. Most recently, she stated that Hitler was an “OK” leader—until he tried to take his message global. After the comment, some Turning Point campus chapters signed a letter calling on her to resign.

In her farewell post, Owens cites the “#BLEXIT movement,” her self-titled podcast and upcoming book as reasons for stepping away from the position. Owens also assured her followers that she would still be associated with the organization's events. “I will of course still be speaking at all Turning Point conferences and will continue to chair the annual Black Leadership Summit in the fall,” she wrote. “... We couldn’t be more excited to share this conversation with the world. ”

Quote from: https://www.denverpost.com/2019/05/02/michael-bennet-president-2020/

Michael Bennet, Colorado’s senior U.S. senator, is running for president on promises to boost the middle class and mend America’s broken political system.

Bennet, who successfully recovered from prostate cancer surgery last month, announced his campaign Thursday morning.

“My plan is to run for president,” Bennet said on “CBS This Morning.” “I think this country faces two enormous challenges, one is a lack of economic mobility and opportunity for most Americans and the other is the need to restore integrity to our government.”

The senator is scheduled to barnstorm Iowa, beginning in the rural west and heading east through the weekend.

Alyssa Milano is doing an AMA (or was doing one) on /r/politics and I can't help but

nearly all her responses.

Quote

Many have criticized your position of putting policy to the side as evidence of policy not having an effect on your life due to your wealth, whereas someone struggling to get by could have their life ruined by a change in policy. How do you address criticisms like these, and weigh them against the danger of a Trump re-election?

Quote from: Her?

I want progressive policy. I'm an activist. It's what I fight for every day. But I think the first step to putting forth progressive policy is winning the election. Let's nominate the person who can beat Trump and then fight for policy when it won't fall on oppressive ears. Are we getting progressive policy passed now? Nope. And without the senate majority and the Presidency we won't. Let's focus on winning. Once we win, let's pass policy to help all Americans live a life of dignity.

...But fall on deaf ears instead?

He prevented Trump from having Ramsay Bolton dungeons in Washington.

Though they did ask a couple of neat questions, one they asked Republican/Leans if they supported Trump or The Party more, 45% said Trump, 27% said The Party.

The other they asked both GOP and Dems to identify what "type" they are which is fun (they could pick up to three, first % is first choice, parenthesis is total)

He’s late again.

Mayor de Blasio will jump into the 2020 presidential race next week, according to four people with knowledge of his plans, entering a crowded field of 21 other Democratic hopefuls and two Republicans — dead last.

The 2020 kickoff could come as early as de Blasio’s birthday on Wednesday, when he’ll turn 58, two sources said.

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/rubycramer/dnc-voter-file-2020-campaigns

Quote

Presidential campaigns seeking to gain access to the Democratic Party 50-state voter file, a crucial database that costs $175,000 to purchase, must also agree to a strict set of terms requiring candidates to raise money for the Democratic National Committee.

Across the field of 22 candidates, some Democrats view the conditions as overly restrictive for a resource that presidential campaigns rely on daily as a foundation for everything from field organizing to analytics. The terms — meant to help strengthen the DNC ahead of the general election in support of the eventual nominee — are costly, time-consuming, and specific.

The voter file contains pools of data about millions of voters. Campaigns use the database as a foundation for their own data as they identify and track support over time within their own portals.

In addition to the $175,000 price tag on the voter file, according to a copy of the agreement obtained by BuzzFeed News, candidates who purchase the voter file must also agree to appear at one or more DNC fundraising events every three months during the duration of their bid for the nomination. At each fundraising event appearance — dubbed "signature event(s)" in the term sheet — candidates will also be asked to record a short video in support of the DNC.

Campaigns must also sign at least one DNC fundraising email every three months, with donations split evenly between the campaign and the DNC. Separate from the emails to the DNC’s list, campaigns will also participate in a party-wide fundraising day, slated for Aug. 7, 2019, sending an email to their own list. Those donations would also be split equally.

According to the term sheet, candidates who use the voter file will continue raising money for the party even after they drop out of the race, sending three additional emails to the DNC list before Election Day in 2020.

The so-called DNC "signature events" will range from grassroots fundraisers to “engagement events” like the party’s Women’s Leadership Forum or “I Will Vote Gala” last year — but all will benefit the DNC financially, according to a person with knowledge of the agreement.

Quote

Sanders, the longtime Vermont Independent whose first presidential campaign fought bitterly with the party establishment and famously sued the DNC during a dispute over the voter file in late 2015, has not yet agreed to the DNC conditions, two people close to his campaign said.

The 2015 clash began when multiple Sanders aides were caught taking advantage of a glitch in the DNC’s voter software, allowing them to access proprietary Clinton data. In response, the DNC chair at the time, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, temporarily blocked Sanders from using the voter file. About a month away from the Iowa caucuses — the first contest in the Democratic nominating process — the Sanders camp accused the DNC of deliberate sabotage.

IMO Biden is the candidate Trump is most well positioned to beat.

He’s the easiest one to use the same strategy Trump used against Hillary.
