PRESIDENTIAL SPEED READ - "Clinton faces growing threat from Sanders," by POLITICO's Jonathan Topaz and Glenn Thrush: Sen. Bernie Sanders is gaining fast on Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire, "the site of her most uplifting 2008 victory and suddenly a source of worry rivaling her Waterloo that year - Iowa. Two polls this week showed the Vermont independent polling over 30 percent in his neighboring New England state, just 10 to 12 percentage points behind front-runner Clinton - a big leap from his 15 to 18 point showing in various polls in recent weeks. 'I think because he is a little bit of a fringe figure in politics, people didn't think we took him seriously, but we always did,' said a
 Democratic operative close to Clinton."

- "We crashed Jeb Bush's super PAC's donor call, and here's what they said," by BuzzFeed News' Andrew Kaczynski and Ilan Ben-Meir: "Telling the donors on the call they were 'killers' who he was going to 'set loose,' Mike Murphy said the number [Right to Rise] would be filing by the next July reporting deadline would give opponents 'heart attacks' and discourage their rivals' donors from opening their wallets."

- Bush canceled an event set for Charleston today after last night's horrific shootings there.

- "The Trump Show hits New Hampshire," by POLITICO's Katie Glueck: The second day of Donald Trump's presidential campaign went much like the first, with the candidate touting his business savvy and his hair, this time in the Granite State. "For just about the entire GOP political class, it's not the hair that's the problem - instead, it's Trump's often outrageous remarks, the over-the-top style and the complete lack of serious political experience. But the real estate mogul, a self-identified provocateur who has virtually no shot of becoming the Republican nominee, has managed to assemble an executive team of Granite State volunteers that boasts at least 17 people, with varying degrees of
 confidence in their candidate and his pointed rhetoric."

- "Carly for America? Bad. CARLY for America? Fine," by The Wall Street Journal's Reid J. Epstein: After a super PAC backing Carly Fiorina christened itself "Carly for America," the Federal Election Commission responded with a letter telling the group to change its name so it didn't include the candidate's name. So after some deliberation, on Monday the Fiorina super PAC changed its name. It's no longer Carly for America. It's now Conservative, Authentic, Responsive Leadership for You and for America - though it will be known by the acronym CARLY for America."

CHANGING MONEY - Plan to remove Hamilton draws criticism: The Treasury Department's plan to replace the portrait of Alexander Hamilton on the $10 bill with a yet-to-be-named woman ignited a miniature firestorm on Twitter after it was announced Tuesday evening. Many felt that Andrew Jackson, who's on the $20 bill, should've been the one to go, especially after a recent campaign to replace the seventh president with a woman. "Hard choices: Should we get rid of the hard-working immigrant on the $10 bill or the homicidal racist on the $20 bill? Hmmmmm," Binyamin Appelbaum, a New York Times economics reporter, tweeted Wednesday night.
