LetMyPeopleVote's JournalDemocrat Jon Ossoff denounces 'anti-Semitic' ad by Sen. David Perdue that made his nose look larger
This is truly disgusting My son knows Jon Ossoff https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/democrat-jon-ossoff-denounces-anti-semitic-ad-by-sen-david-perdue-that-made-his-nose-look-larger/2020/07/27/93099ada-d068-11ea-8d32-1ebf4e9d8e0d_story.html
Perdues campaign blamed an outside vendor and described the altered photo as an unintentional error that was caused when a filter was applied.
According to the Jewish news site the Forward, which first reported on the ad, the black-and-white photo of Ossoff was changed by having his nose lengthened and widened, even as other parts of his face stayed the same size and proportions.
The ad which declared that Democrats are trying to buy Georgia! featured Ossoff and Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.), both of whom are Jewish. According to the Forward, the ad had been running on Facebook since July 22 and had made a total of 3,000 to 4,000 impressions before it was removed by Perdues campaign.
Ossoff denounced the ad in a tweet in which he shared the Forward article.

Sitting U.S. Senator David Perdues digital attack ad distorted my face to enlarge and extend my nose, Ossoff said. Im Jewish. This is the oldest, most obvious, least original anti-Semitic trope in history. Senator, literally no one believes your excuses.

Mike Luckovich-Trump finally got a wall

https://twitter.com/oliverdarcy/status/1287866879428538368Over the weekend, Sinclair announced it would postpone and "rework" the segment featuring discredited "Plandemic" researcher Judy Mikovits which was set to air during the program "America This Week" hosted by Eric Bolling.
But on Monday, the company pulled the plug altogether.
"Upon further review, we have decided not to air the interview with Dr. Mikovits," a spokesperson for Sinclair told CNN Business in a statement. "Although the segment did include an expert to dispute Dr. Mikovits, given the nature of the theories she presented we believe it is not appropriate to air the interview."

Texas candidates in swing districts are already running away from trump. Texas is a battleground state and trump does not have any coat tails which is why GOP candidates are running away from trump

In Congress, I will stand with President Trump to defeat the socialist Democrats, build the wall, drain the swamp, and deliver on pro-economy and pro-America policies, Nehls said under the top section of his issues page, titled Standing with President Trump.
Within two days of Nehls lopsided runoff victory, that section had been removed, along with a paragraph from Nehls bio page that stated he supports President Trump and wants to deliver President Trumps agenda. Fresh language now focuses on his record as sheriff during Hurricane Harvey and managing the agencys budget.
Nehls abrupt shift in tone captures the challenge facing Republican candidates in suburban battleground districts up and down the ballot, including Nehls district and two neighboring ones, where polling suggests Trumps coronavirus response has alienated voters and, for now, created strong headwinds for his partys congressional hopefuls.....
In a statement, Kulkarni accused Nehls of trying to scrub his past by removing the Trump references. A video ad on Nehls site continues to tout his support for Trump, along with his history of lock(ing) up over 2,500 criminal illegal immigrants and protect(ing) our Second Amendment rights, though similar statements also were removed from his issues page.

Texas Republicans face tough 2020 election after a rocky 12 months
Some Texas Republicans have a blunter assessment. George Seay, a Dallas businessman and longtime Texas GOP fundraiser, said the state is becoming more competitive earlier than it should be because Texas Republicans, much like the Democrats who controlled the state before them, became "fat, happy, lazy and bored" as well as consumed by internecine feuding.
Texas is a battleground state and we can pick up some congressional seats and flip control of the Texas state house

The month-to-month distractions started with the secret recording scandal that forced Bonnen into retirement and sidelined a speaker who was set to play a leading role in defending the House GOP majority. Bookending the period was the convention, which the party struggled mightily to pull off virtually after its all-out push for an in-person gathering failed in the courts. But in between, public relations nightmares persisted a state representative who complained his primary challengers were running against him because they were Asian, a spate of county party chairs who spread conspiracy theories about George Floyds death on Facebook, a podcast outtake in which staffers for the hard-right group Empower Texans joked about Abbotts wheelchair use and disparaged him with profanity....
In three of the seats the DCCC is working to flip, Democrats already have vastly more cash on hand than their Republican opponents, two of whom had to get through runoffs. In one extreme case the 22nd Congressional District Democratic nominee Sri Preston Kulkarni has more than 40 times cash on hand than the GOP's candidate, Troy Nehls.
The most consequential down-ballot fight, however, is for the Texas House, where Democrats are nine seats away from the majority. Republicans are hoping to flip back some of the 12 seats they lost in 2018, but even then, Democrats are working with a wide offensive battlefield, targeting at least the 17 seats where Republicans won by single digits in 2018.
