CONGRESS UPDATE….Via email from Congressional Quarterly:

Illinois 14th – CQ Politics has updated this race from Leans Democratic to Democrat Favored (less competitive).
Indiana 2nd – CQ Politics has updated this race from Democrat Favored to Safe Democrat (less competitive).
Indiana 3rd – CQ Politics has updated this race from Republican Favored to Leans Republican (more competitive).
Indiana 7th – CQ Politics has updated this race from Democrat Favored to Safe Democrat (less competitive).
Indiana 8th – CQ Politics has updated this race from Democrat Favored to Safe Democrat (less competitive).
Iowa 4th – CQ Politics has updated this race from Safe Republican to Republican Favored (more competitive).
Minnesota 1st – CQ Politics has updated this race from Leans Democratic to Democrat Favored (less competitive).
Nebraska 2nd – CQ Politics has updated this race from Republican Favored to Leans Republican (more competitive).

Every single change favors the Democrats, and there are 16 more that they’ll cover in a separate story tomorrow. Details here. And Karen Tumulty reports that trends are similar in Senate races. Bottom line: If you’re a Republican, life really sucks right now.

BEFORE YOU CLICK AWAY!

“Lying.” “Disgusting.” “Scum.” “Slime.” “Corrupt.” “Enemy of the people.” Donald Trump has always made clear what he thinks of journalists. And it’s plain now that his administration intends to do everything it can to stop journalists from reporting things they don’t like—which is most things that are true.

No one gets to tell Mother Jones what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please help with a donation today if you can—even a few bucks will make a real difference. A monthly gift would be incredible.
