It is really disappointing to see Tim O'Brien on Bloomberg's campaign team.
He is on MSNBC right now. Is he still a contributor/analyst, or just a guest?

National Enquirer company chief David Pecker talking with New York prosecutors
Source: CNN
(CNN)David Pecker, the head of the company that publishes the National Enquirer, has spoken with prosecutors with the New York district attorney's office as part of its investigation into the Trump Organization's handling of hush money payments to women who alleged affairs with President Donald Trump, sources with knowledge of the meeting tell CNN.
The America Media Inc. chairman's late October meeting with prosecutors from the major economic crimes bureau could provide key details on discussions that took place involving Stormy Daniels, the adult film star who allegedly had an affair with Trump, and agreements that were made with former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, the sources said.
Cohen is cooperating with the investigation. Pecker is expected to continue talking with prosecutors, sources said.
The meeting between Pecker and the local prosecutors shows that investigators are still trying to connect the dots between Trump and the hush money payments. The meeting could result in Pecker being a potential critical witness down the road in any legal action against Trump or the Trump Organization.

Mike Bloomberg's $34M ad buy is the equivalent of the typical American writing a check for $39 bucks
Mike Bloomberg’s $34M ad buy is the equivalent of the typical American writing a check for $39 bucks.
I’ll say that again.
Mike Bloomberg spending $34M of his own money on politics is like the median American family spending $39 on a movie night.

Sarah Sanders defends Trump: He reads 'more than anybody I know'
Sarah Huckabee Sanders defended President Trump after an anonymous author who served in his administration claimed in a new book that officials had to slim down their briefing materials to a single key point in order to make the information easier for the president to understand.
In excerpts of “A Warning” that were published by Business Insider, the author wrote that some officials in the Trump administration were instructed to reduce briefing materials in presentations because Trump “couldn't digest too many slides.”
Sanders, the former White House press secretary, said during an appearance on a Fox News panel on Sunday that she thinks the author behind the book, who served as a senior official in the Trump administration, is a “total coward” and added that she found the book to be “despicable.”
She went on to say that the book reads as being from somebody who is not close to Trump, agreeing with points made by fellow former press secretary Sean Spicer, who had also joined Sanders on the panel.
“It doesn’t read to me like somebody that’s spent real time with the president. You can’t spend the kind of time with him and have that takeaway,” Sanders said.

Baltimore Museum of Art will only buy women's art in 2020
The Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA) has unveiled plans that it will only buy art by women next year. Right now, only four percent of the museum's collection is by female artists.
As part of the BMA's 2020 Vision initiative, the museum will also showcase at least 20 exhibitions featuring work from a diverse range of women, including Elissa Blount Moorhead.
For Moorhead, the first time she saw herself reflected in a work of art, it wasn't in a museum. It was in her parent's house, going through her dad's record albums. The Funkadelic album covers of Pedro Bell featured black women in futuristic settings, surrounded by bright oranges and blues.
"I just remember looking at the album covers and reading them, and recognizing they were black women," Moorhead said. "And thinking they looked like people I knew, even though they were psychedelic."
Now an established artist, Moorhead's work will be featured in an exhibition next year. Other exhibitions include works already featured by Georgia O'Keeffe, Grace Hartigan and others, as part of the museum's plan.
