House Conservatives barge into a secure impeachment hearing. Democrats call it a stunt designed to distract from damning testimony, and promise public hearings -- most likely next month. Plus the President's impeachment strategy has two key elements: Smear the key witnesses, and pressure Republicans to stay in line.

Nancy Pelosi says her advice to Democrats is be in favor of impeachment, if that is what helps you back home. But Mueller's testimony did not change the Speaker's mind -- she is still in go-slow mode and as the House breaks for summer recess, Pelosi's advice is talk more about health care.

Also: POLITICO national political reporter David Siders on why a big shrink to the democratic primary field might be coming soon.
Together yesterday -- divided today: House Democrats are unanimous in condemning President Trump's racist attacks on four minority women. But there is a big split in the Democratic Caucus today as one Liberal member forces a vote on an impeachment resolution. Plus, the President's constant efforts to stoke resentment over race and immigration was a big reason Republicans got crushed in the 2018 midterms, especially among suburban women. So why does he think it is the recipe for re-election success in 2020? And the House debate over the President's racist tweets was fiercely partisan -- and unruly. So much so the Congressman presiding over the debate got up and walked away. Today's Panel: Seung Min Kim with The Washington Post, Heather Caygle with POLITICO, Catherine Lucey with The Wall Street Journal, and Jackie Kucinich with The Daily Beast. Also on the Program: CNN's Manu Raju and Joan Biskupic, and Presidential Historian Tim Naftali.

This election day, there will be over 250 women on the ballot running for the House and Senate, and after the midterms, there's likely to be more women in office than ever before. It seems Donald Trump has awoken a female majority that is outraged by the President's words and actions. And if there is a Democratic wave, it's women who will have likely caused it. This episode, which is the fourth in a four-part series on the midterm elections, features interviews with Rep. Cheri Bustos (R-Ill.), Politico reporter Heather Caygle, Cook Political Report editor Dave Wasserman, Politico Reporter Rachael Bade, HuffPost polling editor Ariel Edwards-Levy, Rep.

We explore the question of Nancy Pelosi as the leader of House Democrats. With Democrats looking likely to take back the House, we look at the potential problems she may face in resuming her position as the only woman to ever serve as Speaker of the House. We also explore the history of the “Fire Pelosi” campaign — from its roots at the Republican National Committee in 2010 to the most recent examples of Republicans using questions about Pelosi in 2018 — and examine whether she is still the potent campaign issue Republicans believe her to be. This episode, which is the second in a four-part series on the midterm elections, features interviews with former RNC communications director Doug Heye, Pelosi deputy chief of staff Drew Hammill, Rep. Tim Ryan, Rep. Eric Swalwell, Politico reporter Heather Caygle, Washington Examiner reporter Laura Barron-Lopez, Rep. Conor Lamb, and Rep. Keith Rothfus.

The researchers call the proof-of-concept exploit KRACK, or Key Reinstallation attacks. What it does is it tells devices connecting to the network to reinstall the network key and replace the password with all zeros. This lets in criminals to steal essentially anything off of your computer. The hack is particularly effective against Android and Linux devices, although other devices aren't immune. Further, websites encrypted with https protocol are also vulnerable. Fortunately, you can still install updates even if your device has already been hacked using this method. Dan Goodin explains in Ars Technica. Black and Hispanic lawmakers challenge tech companies on diversity, racist ads In closed-door meetings, the Congressional Black and Hispanic Caucuses met with Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg last week.

The ads were intended to sway the 2016 election in favor of Donald Trump. Additionally, the CBC challenged Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg about the lack of racial and ethnic diversity at the company. CBC Chair Cedric Richmond pointed to a persistent lack of staff and board diversity. Further, Sandberg met with members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. In addition to the diversity CBC raised issues, CHC reportedly focused on recovery efforts in Puerto Rico and the status of 700,000 Dreamers. Heather Caygle and Elana Schor report in Politico.
