— College Dems buck DCCC over its ‘blacklist’ policy, see Ocasio-Cortez as
inspiration More than 70 campus chapters boycott group, saying it’s
‘antithetical to our values’ – Gabriella Muñoz (DIERSEN: Should I write a book
about those individuals, organizations, companies, and governments that

Republican Central Committee meeting and watch them in action.)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/may/10/college-democrats-buck-dccc-over-primary-challenge/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: House
Democrats’ plans to blacklist rebellious strategists have sparked a backlash
from a key party demographic, with dozens of chapters of College Democrats
vowing to boycott the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee over its
efforts to protect incumbents from primary challenges. In doing so, the
boycotting chapters are finding a champion in popular freshman Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez of New York. They dissenting College Democrats chapters are
objecting to the DCCC’s new rule refusing to do business with consultants,
pollsters and other campaign workers who sign on to work for challengers
seeking primary incumbent Democrats. The chapters are calling on their members
not to donate to the DCCC, and to ask others also to withhold their support.
“The rule would financially deter and greatly disadvantage vital new voices in
our party, who are often younger and come from underrepresented and
historically marginalized communities and identities,” the boycotters said in a
statement. “This blacklist policy is undemocratic and antithetical to our
values of inclusion and diversity.”)

— Good news, graduates: Hiring will be up this year – Maurie Backman (DIERSEN:
When you earned your bachelor’s degree, what harmed your job search? For me, it
was my being draft bait. Employers did not believe that my application for a
financial hardship draft deferment would be approved. Consequently, I accepted
the only job offer that I received. It was for a job that did really require my
bachelor’s degree in management from NIU. Further, I had not demonstrated
leadership abilities. I had worked part-time for the Post Office in Park Forest
for almost 3 years and I had worked part-time for the S.S. Kresges in Chicago
Heights as a dish washer for 1 ½ years and I doubt that employers saw that
favorably.)

— Group that funded civil war in Texas GOP launches new offensive – Taylor
Goldenstein
https://www.expressnews.com/news/politics/texas_legislature/article/Group-that-funded-civil-war-in-Texas-GOP-launches-13805267.php
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Empower Texans made its name by using its political action committee’s deep
pockets to threaten Republicans with aggressive primary challenges if they fell
out of line with the conservative group’s hardline agenda. Then the 2018
elections happened. State records show the Tea Party-aligned group spent a
record sum of more than $4 million last year — more than three times the amount
it spent in the 2016 presidential year. Yet the majority of the candidates it
endorsed, 26 out of 47, lost their primary, general and special elections. If
its increasingly irate email blasts are any indication, that’s led to a
frustrating legislative session for the group — one that’s often left it on the
sidelines of major debates. The budget, with an additional $9 billion for
public education and tax reform, is oversized, members complain. Property tax
solutions offered up thus far are “not relief, just reform,” they scoff. Some
conservative lawmakers are voicing the same critique. Texas Take: Get political
