Of course there was. Let's have a read.
Dry Alabama was worked on by Matt Osborne. It was a progressive-run page dedicated to trying to bring back the Prohibition Era to Alabama while simultaneously pretending to support Roy Moore.

The project, similar to Project Birmingham, was given $100,000.00 by Investing In US, ran by Dmitri Mehlhorn.

One person connected to the second project is Evan Coren, who works for the National Archives handling classified documents. Because of course he does.

Beth Becker was also connected to the second Alabama project, as was the Facebook page Southern Caller.

Two other social media campaigns were ran in favour of Doug Jones by companies Tovo Labs and Dialectica.

Evan Coren's career.
Matt Osborne's career. I wonder who else was tied to Breitbart Unmasked?
Is Breitbart Unmasked tied to Brett Kimberlin?

Matt Osborne denied that some user called "Watchful Avenger" is Brett Kimberlin, back in an old blog post.

On December 31, 2018, Josh Gerstein at Politico published the article "Suspect's Twitter messages played role in NSA hacking-tools leak probe".

politico.com/story/2018/12/…
"Messages that the former NSA computer security specialist, Hal Martin, sent via Twitter appear to have led to an FBI raid on his Maryland home and to his arrest on charges of retaining a vast trove of classified information there without permission."

politico.com/story/2018/12/…
For reference, Harold T. Martin III was arrested on August 27, 2016 after the Shadow Brokers initiated a hunt within the National Security Agency, where they found 16 years worth of classified information.

Since @jimsciutto doesn't understand that Christopher Steele was hired in June 2016 and the contract between Fusion GPS and Free Beacon ended before then, and that the first memo was written for June 20, 2016, I will explain it:

Christopher Steele was hired to write the dossier.
The fact that @CNN and @jimsciutto keep saying that Republicans funded the dossier would join with @Comey's idea that Republicans funded the dossier, which is completely incorrect.
You know, it's not the first time @jimsciutto has claimed that parts of the dossier have been verified. This was back in February 2017 though. I wonder who his source is?

"The DNC had several meetings with representatives of the FBI's Cyber Division and its Washington Field Office, the DOJ's National Security Division, and US Attorney's Offices, and it responded to a variety of requests for cooperation..."
"... but the FBI never requested access to the DNC's computer servers", Eric Walker, the DNC's deputy communications director, told BuzzFeed News in an email.

Quote is from Ali Watkins' BuzzFeed News article from January 4, 2017, "The FBI Never Asked For Access To Hacked Computer Servers".

1. MLB's decision to ask for its contribution to Hyde-Smith doesn't end the game's association with her campaign.

Giants owner Charles B. Johnson and his wife contributed the max to Hyde-Smith.

But Johnson's involvement goes deeper

2. Johnson is also a donor to a group called "Black Americans for the President’s Agenda." (He is white.)

Yesterday, in an email obtained by popular.info, founder Vernon Robinson says the group has a plan to suppress the black vote

3. "They will lie to them, they will throw slime, whatever they need to do to scare black folks into the voting booth," Robinson writes.

He calls this the "spike strategy" -- and his group can stop it.

All right...I'm on location at the University of Houston about to live tweet the one and only #TX07 debate between U.S. Rep. John Culberson (R), and attorney Lizzie Fletcher (D.) Start time is in about eight minutes.
First question is about flooding in Houston. Culberson stresses regional relationships with NJ and Florida delegations to appropriate funds back home. #TX07
Fletcher counters that Culberson should have done more to mitigate flooding - back during Hurricane Allison in 2001.

I suddenly heard a bang from the door & I instinctively assumed it was Moshood, "ah thank God!" I heaved as I turned back;

To my greatest surprise it was Toyin that had escaped leaving me behind, "Toyin has left me!" I wailed!

"Why didn't I even think of running away" I thought
"Jamiu!" I suddenly heard someone scream from outside the door, I made a move to run when I saw the other boys running & chanting

"This is the day I die!" I wailed within as I headed towards the door, immediately I grabbed the door knob to turn it open I heard a shout;

Ogbeni!

This Day in Labor History: March 1, 1932, Norris-LaGuardia Act passed the Senate, outlawing many of employers' worst anti-union practices. Let's talk about this critical moment in American labor history and how we are returning to these dark days today.
In the Lochner era, a misnomer that uses a single court case to represent a doctrine of work that had already existed for more than a half-century before that 1905 decision, there was a widespread belief in the sanctity of the contract between employers and workers.
n other words, if a worker agreed to work on a job, it was inherently implied that said worker agreed to the conditions of work the employer set. If the employer created conditions where the worker did not want to sell his or her labor, that worker could quit.
