The @PeteButtigieg campaign has a department called “Investment.” Most campaigns call it fundraising.

“Our revolution includes dancing,” Sen. @BernieSanders said at the end of his prepared remarks tonight. He’s making good on that statement now in Manchester, NH, dancing to “ after a union solidarity dinner.
There’s an interesting trend in the survey data: the more @BernieSanders’ Democratic opponents criticize his Medicare for All legislation, the more polls show voters see Bernie as the most trusted candidate on the health care issue.

@BernieSanders is right. @MikeBloomberg bought elections in New York City and now he thinks he can buy the presidency. This is not how America is supposed to work.
KEY STAT: As other candidates attack Medicare for All, and as @BernieSanders insists he’s introducing Medicare for All in his presidency’s first week, polls have shown voters now see Bernie as the most trusted candidate on the healthcare issue.

Seriously the email for the high-dollar fundraiser is investments@peteforamerica.com because we live in a low-budget political drama that somehow keeps getting picked up for more seasons

In an usual departure from the rest of the primary field, Bloomberg’s running on putting money *into* politics

Joe Biden may not want the votes of those concerned about immigrant rights, but I do. Join our movement for justice.

At the 5th #demdebate during closing remarks, @BernieSanders shares his backstory, his moral fight, and announces to the world that our historic movement has surpassed an unprecedented 4 million individual campaign contributions. @AOC @Ilhan @RashidaTlaib #Bernie2020
People who really want to defeat Donald Trump should vote for Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primary.

Having spent many years in journalism working to report inconvenient truths that challenge power, I am proud to work for the only presidential candidate who has released a comprehensive plan to protect journalists and independent media.
Bernie has surged 7 points in Emerson's poll and is now tied for first place. Pass it on. https://bernie.substack.com/p/bern-notice-5-key-poll-numbers-that …
Michael Bloomberg could singlehandedly eliminate half of all medical debt in America and still remain a billionaire — and instead he’s spending money on ads glorifying himself and his campaign to prevent billionaires from having to pay slightly higher taxes.
Think about that.

Bernie comments on Bloomberg’s TV spending spree:
“I’m disgusted by the idea that Michael Bloomberg or any other billionaire thinks they can circumvent the political process and spend tens of millions of dollars to buy our elections.”

If you can’t build grassroots support for your candidacy, you have no business running for president.

I support @BernieSanders because he’s for Medicare for All and free public college.
Medicare for All is about giving people health care with no copay, no deductibles, and no premiums.
There are a lot of things you can call it, but you can’t call it elitist! @LateNightSeth

.@SachaBaronCohen makes an incredibly compelling case for the responsibility of massive social media companies to address the hateful propaganda spread on their platforms.
Lies are spread unchallenged. Hate and incitement of violence abound. #NeverIsNow
Since October, @BernieSanders has gained 5 points in the Real Clear Politics Polling Average -- that's the largest gain of any candidate in the race during that time.
Here are 5 key data points that illustrate the Bernie Surge -- and the working-class coalition that is fueling it.
This is an incredibly devastating article. Not even gonna make a comment on it — just read it. All of it.
If a candidate said they support Medicare for All, and then the candidate got cash from billionaires & healthcare industry donors, and then the candidate suddenly started opposing Medicare for All — then we should believe this is exactly how the candidate will behave in office.

Michael Bloomberg could personally eliminate half the medical debt in the United States – and still have $14 billion left over.
Instead he's spending his money on a vanity presidential run.

Mic Drop
The ONLY campaign w/ an HBCU Organizing Program AND *clears throat* release of the BOLDEST HBCU Policy.
We will:
Make ALL HBCUS tuition free
Invest big in health and teaching programs
Increase enrollment
Close the funding gap
I figured now was a good time to let you know that my home office (read: closet) is festooned with my Izzy and SABEW journalism awards, plus a 20-year old photo of the Bernie U.S. House office staff, plus an authentic autographed photo of General Zod.
