Griffiths (bgriffiths@politico.com; @BrentGriffiths) GOOD MORNING, MASSACHUSETTS. NY-14'S MASSACHUSETTS CONNECTION —  A progressive woman of color, facing institutional opposition and a significant fundraising gap, wages a long-shot bid against a 10-term, scandal-free white male incumbent. Sounds a lot like Boston City Councilor  Ayanna Pressley 's campaign to unseat Rep.  Michael Capuano  in Massachusetts' 7th District, right? But those were the contours in New York's 14th District, where 28-year-old  Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez  decisively defeated Rep.  Joe Crowley  in the Democratic primary last night. There's even a Massachusetts connection to the winning campaign — Pressley sent her field dire...

After all of the political points have been scored, debated, and forgotten, the legacy of these memos will remain: they showed that the House Intelligence Committee could not withstand the pressures of politics. Glimmer of Progress Seen In House Intelligence Committee Transcript After all of the political points have been scored, debated, and forgotten, the legacy of these memos will remain: they showed that the House Intelligence Committee could not withstand the pressures of politics. However, it is encouraging to see that the Chairman has recognized that the members of the Committee should have access to the underlying documents.

A tale of two democracies, India and USA

Dear Friend, This was one of the most eventful and traumatic days in recent history in two of the most powerful democracies in the world. The president of the 'democratic' USA called Haiti, El Salvador, and African nations as “shitholes countries”.
