The Washington Post reports that Trump used his Mar-a-Lago club as voting address, which is a commercial entity, not a residence as required by state election law – and the discovery of that information is a story in itself.  Trump is also falsely proclaiming that former President Obama committed a bogus (and unspecified) crime that he and Fox "News" have dubbed "OBAMAGATE," in hopes of distracting from his failed coronavirus response and tarring presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. But neither can articulate what the alleged "crime" is, or why Trump's claims of broad Constitutional powers somehow did not also apply to President Obama (in addition to zero evidence to demonstrate that Obama committed any crime). The great progressive blogger HOWIE KLEIN of Down With Tyranny discusses Tuesday's special elections for the U.S. House in California and Wisconsin, and a big win for progressives in Nebraska's primary election on Tuesday, where Progressive Democrat Kara Eastman trounced her former Republican-turned-Democratic challenger. Klein explains how and why the Democrats lost (and won) on Tuesday, and blames much of it on a lack of support from the conservative Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC).  Klein, the co-founder of the BlueAmericaPAC, also details several progressive U.S. House candidates facing incumbent establishment Democrats in upcoming primaries who could use some help over the next two months, as nearly 20 different states hold their delayed primary elections...
