Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) vowed that if elected president she would release the documents related to Trump’s conduct toward Ukraine that his administration declined to share with House investigators, the Washington Post reports.

Said Warren: “This is what I promise: When I’m president of the United States, on the first day, I’m going to release every document, I’m going to order the release of every document that the Trump administration is trying to hide. The American people have a right to see it.”

Tim Alberta explains why he moved home to Michigan:

“Reporting on national politics is an insider’s game, where scoops are often measured in micrograms. This work can be important, and valuable—I’ve certainly done plenty of it—but the rise of Donald Trump exposed its inherent limitations. For a time, following his shocking victory in November 2016, there was sincere introspection within elite media circles over how to do better the next time. Sadly, news organizations have largely defaulted to covering this campaign the same way they covered the last one, and the one before that. Parachute into the provinces. Report around a frame of campaign gossip and consultant-speak. Check the box with a few man-on-the-street interviews. Stuff a Joe Six-Pack quote into the sunset paragraphs of a story, feigning an intimacy with the perspectives of the people. Rinse and repeat.”

“There exists in today’s media, as one colleague recently grumbled to me, ‘an institutional bias against hearing what voters have to say.’ We at Politico are sometimes guilty of it. So are our rivals at legacy outlets and new media startups alike. It’s not glamorous to elevate the voice of the everyman, to give a platform to someone Americans have never heard of, someone with no money or influence or connections. But to do this job—to inform citizens of what is happening, and to explain *why* it is happening—it has become essential.”

“In a barrage of 85 different ads that have aired more than 72,000 times in the past two months on local television, no Democrat has even mentioned a primary rival by name,” a Wall Street Journal review found.

“Instead, the candidates and political groups backing them have trained their collective fire on President Trump and talked about health care, corruption and their ability to unite the country and win in November’s general election.”

Politico: “When Pete Buttigieg holds ‘big rally type events’ in South Carolina, ‘it’s mostly white folks showing up,’ he acknowledged ruefully Thursday night. And his struggle to fix that problem has become an existential threat to his presidential ambitions.”

Politico: “Rufus Gifford, one of the Democratic Party’s best-connected fundraisers, is throwing his support behind Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential race, just before Biden and his rivals dive into an expensive stretch of early primaries and caucuses.”

“There are few Democratic donors or operatives with fundraising networks as vast as Gifford’s, and his connections could help Biden compete with fellow frontrunners who have tapped online small-dollar donors to outraise the former vice president so far. Gifford served as the finance director for former President Barack Obama’s reelection campaign, leading the record-setting push to raise $1 billion to win a second term for Obama in 2012.”
