some non impeachment news ….

HOUSE REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP used a closed party meeting this morning to concede they are in the midst of a full-blown fundraising crisis, after the @DCCC outraised the @NRCC by $40 million in 2019. Individual Dem candidates are also smoking their Republican opponents.

@dccc @NRCC House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy put the fundraising problems bluntly: "They are kicking our ass," he said, in a meeting at the Capitol Hill Club, the private GOP haunt around the corner from the Capitol, referring to Democrats.

@dccc @NRCC "My intention today is to sound a loud alarm," @NRCC Chairman @tomemmer of Minnesota said in the meeting. "We can't ignore the campaigns that need to get better with their individual fundraising. ... They're crushing us," Emmer said, referring to the DCCC.

@dccc @NRCC @tomemmer At least one person was roused to action. Rep. @GregForMontana (R-Mont.) -- who is leaving Congress to run for his state's governorship -- wrote a $250,000 check to the party committee during an altar call.

@dccc @NRCC @tomemmer ALSO: in a closed @dccc meeting this morning, @RepCheri showed a video of @tomemmer telling a group that the DCCC outraised the NRCC by $40 million last year.

A bit of gloating on the Dem side
