Two stories in the news today involve money in politics, one surprisingly positive and hopeful, the other, not so much. What do we learn from each?

The Hill reports that all but one of the Republicans in Congress who voted to impeach President Donald Trump in January are outpacing their primary election challengers in the money-raising sweepstakes. Some by a long shot.
