The latest update from Las Vegas is that Ruggs, having paid the $150,000 bail payment to get out of jail, is now on house arrest with an alcohol monitor on his ankle at all times as he awaits his trial on December 16. Prosecutors are attempting to gain access to Ruggs’ previous medical records to prove that he still has a serious problem with alcohol addiction in an effort to bolster the case against him.

According to the latest Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings, the Republican National Committee (RNC) raised $13.8 million in October while the Democratic National Committee (DNC) raised $11.5 million in the same month. This fundraising success comes as Republicans are looking to take back both the House and Senate against the razor-thin margins that Democrats currently hold in both.
