    According to , Joe Biden launched his campaign by holding a fundraiser with the “founder and chairman of the union-busting law firm Cozen O’Connor” — the firm’s website says it helps corporations “avoid unionization.”
    Biden, in Iowa City, tells this Labor Day picnic crowd that people who aren’t in unions are realizing they’re being taken advantage of. “All of the sudden they’re figuring out that they’re in trouble.”…

    Michael Bennet, whose net worth is an estimated $16 million, is the only major 2020 Democratic presidential candidate to oppose a $15-an-hour minimum wage.
    Today, on the 125th anniversary of Labor Day, we honor the American worker. If you’re one of the millions of Americans who gets out of bed each morning and works hard for you and your family, today’s cookouts are for you.…

    I hear a lot in the corporate media about how Medicare for All is just "too expensive." You know what is too expensive? Paying $28,000 a year for health insurance – the average for a family of four. That is really damn expensive! And it's going to end under Medicare for All.

    Anything you can pitch in would be super helpful. It’s not easy to be an underdog taking on the establishment, win an incredibly difficult primary, win the general and then help lead the fight for progressive change in the legislature. But she’s doing it — with your help.
    PITCH IN: In 2018, you helped me win an upset victory & helped progressives win Colorado. I need your help again. As you can see, Trump aims to win this state. We must stop him. I dont take corporate PAC money, so please click…

    This campaign is not going to stop decrying 500,000 medical bankruptcies a year just because a discredited Washington Post pundit puts out demonstrably false information under the banner of “fact checking”
    I can also report that Bernie, undeterred by Glenn Kessler, continues to note that upwards of 500,000 Americans go bankrupt due to medical debt.

    I criticize Sirota a lot. But he's right abt this. The Post increasingly hands out 3 & 4 "Pinocchios" for claims which at worst one might say are the subject of some academic dispute or are simply not worded in a way the Post likes. That's for Dems and the Left, not GOPs.
     
    THINGS YOU CAN’T MAKE UP: The WashPost reported that “530,000 families deal with bankruptcies related to illness or medical bills,” then said lied by literally saying the exact same thing — and now …

    This "fact checker" piece is a ridiculous attempt to weigh in on a scholarly debate. The 500,000 medical bankruptcy statistic is based on what those who have gone bankrupt themselves say. The WaPo is effectively calling them liars too.

    I expect the newspaper owned by Jeff Bezos to give Bernie 17 Pinocchios for daring to utter this truth
    You can’t change a corrupt system by taking its money.

    If Glenn isn't going to retract the "fact check" he can give us a "Bottomless Pinocchio." 81 experts, including the former Editor-in-chief of the New England Journal of Medicine, have written a letter to the editor against this "fact check." Will the publish it?
    I can also report that Bernie, undeterred by Glenn Kessler, continues to note that upwards of 500,000 Americans go bankrupt due to medical debt.

    This is not a time for a middle ground approach. This is a time to take on powerful special interests that control our political and economic life, and finally build a country that works for working people. Join our rally live in New Hampshire:

    Demanding newpapers report accurate facts and correct their errors is an effort to support journalism. That’s different from calling reporters the “enemy of the people.” If you willfully pretend to not understand the difference, then you are helping democracy die in darkness.
