NEW: Democrats' nominee for Senate in West Virginia may be skirting campaign finance law in selling campaign merchandise without requesting or confirming contributors' occupation, employer, age, and citizenship or residency status. go2.nationaljournal.com/v/NE00zYkk000i… Paula Jean Swearengin, Demo...
Per 1 expert: “It’s important to collect that information to ensure that the campaign itself is complying with its legal obligations in not accepting an excessive contribution in the aggregate or accepting a contribution from a source that’s not permitted to make those" donations
UPDATE: Swearengin's #WVsen campaign website no longer promotes her merchandise, and the third-party platform on which she was selling stickers and T-Shirts no longer offers any products for sale.

Screenshots from yesterday and today, respectively. ImageImage
Swearengin as recently as last week was planning to roll out more offerings, not fewer.

Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) is a no on Judge Amy Coney Barrett's Supreme Court confirmation.

"Judge Barrett was not fit to be a Circuit Judge in 2017 and she is the wrong choice for a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court today. Once again, she will not have my support.”
Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA), who voted to confirm Barrett to 7th CCA: “I’ve said from the beginning ... this vacancy should be filled by the winner of the ongoing election. I intend to follow that precedent and will not support anyone’s confirmation until we know the election results."
Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH): “I strongly oppose efforts by President Trump and Senator McConnell to rush through this Supreme Court nomination before the election. ... This process should not move forward.”
