Texas Tribune: “The grandson of the late President George H.W. Bush, nonprofit executive Pierce Bush, will announce his candidacy for Congress on Monday morning, according to an email written by his father, Neil Bush.”

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) earned nearly $2 million working as a consultant for corporations while she was a law professor at Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania and other schools, the Washington Post reports.

The payments do not fit neatly with her current brand as a crusader against corporate interests.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) made the unfounded allegation that Ukraine interfered in the 2016 presidential election in a NBC News interview.

Said Cruz: “Of course Russia interfered in the election. But here’s the game the media is playing. Because Russia interfered, the media pretends nobody else did. Ukraine blatantly interfered in our election.”

Axios: “Cruz is one of several Republican senators who have refused to disavow the allegations that Ukraine interfered in the 2016 election, despite receiving a briefing from intelligence officials that this is an alternative narrative being propagated by Russian security services.”

“President Trump, speaking during a closed-door speech to Republican Party of Florida donors at the state party’s annual Statesman’s Dinner, was in ‘rare form’ Saturday night,” the Miami Herald reports.

“The dinner, which raised $3.5 million for the state party, was met with unusual secrecy. The 1,000 attendees were required to check their cell phones into individual locked cases before they entered the unmarked ballroom at the south end of the resort. Reporters were not allowed to attend.”

“But the secrecy was key to Trump’s performance, which attendees called ‘hilarious.'”

“He also pulled an unusual move, bringing on stage Army 1st Lt. Clint Lorance and Maj. Mathew Golsteyn, who Trump pardoned last month for cases involving war crimes.”

Washington Post: “After two weeks in the presidential race, Mike Bloomberg now employs one of the largest campaign staff rosters, has spent more money on ads than all the top-polling Democrats combined and is simultaneously building out ground operations in 27 states.”

“Everything he is doing is so unlike what has been done for decades that it is difficult to decipher how voters will react.”

Boston Globe: “For six decades, Americans have woken up on the morning of the New Hampshire presidential primary, turned on the news, and heard about Dixville Notch, the tiny hamlet where perhaps a dozen voters had cast paper ballots into a wooden box right at midnight, with the pomp of a long ago era.”

“Now, with the 2020 New Hampshire presidential primary less than 10 weeks away, it is increasingly likely that the Dixville Notch tradition is dead, victim of a shrinking population too small to meet the legal threshold of five residents to be a polling place.”
