    Apologies, I made a typo in tweeting that last poll. The corrected numbers are: Biden: 28% Warren: 23% ERROR FILE NOT FOUND: 17% Buttigieg: 9%

    Half a million people in America file for bankruptcy due to medical bills—every year. Medicare for All now.

    I appreciate Gov. Newsom taking this stand. Californians can't remain hostage to a profiteering corporation for a basic need. PG&E's greed and corruption led to gross mismanagement of the state's electric system. Californians deserve a utility that's accountable to the people.

    Which side are you on?

    In the richest nation on earth, an estimated 35k+ people die each year because they can’t afford health care. Hoping this will shock us into action.
  • tfw we spend hundreds of billions of dollars on tax breaks for billionaires and corporations, and yet you are somehow still attempting to pit one very achievable progressive priority against another very achievable progressive priority
  • Let’s be clear: GOP Sen. AND Dem Senate candidate are both pro-fossil-fuel & anti-Green New Deal. Replacing Gardner with another anti-GND isn’t great for the climate fight. Dems instead can choose a pro-GND senate nominee like .
  • “If Colorado’s senator wants to sacrifice our health & capsize our economy by surrendering clean energy jobs to other countries & refusing to help oil & gas workers make a transition they can already see coming, we’ll fight him” - Dem Senate candidate , a GND backer
  • This is a pervasive ideology in Washington. It can be summed up as “anything that requires a fight against billionaires and corporate donors is not worth fighting for.”
  • Worth adding: New Hampshire is not just a critical primary state, it is also a very important GENERAL ELECTION swing state. Trump came within half a percentage point of winning it in 2016.
  • Key electability data from CNN NH poll: - leads (17-9) among self-described CONSERVATIVE Dems - Bernie is supported by 30% of independents & 25% of Dems who didnt vote in 2016. He leads the field by far among both groups Data:
  • .'s week: - Got bankrolled by a super PAC led by health industry lobbyists - Dropped to 3rd in CNN NH poll & 4th in NYT Iowa poll ' week: - Reiterated his opposition to super PACs & corruption - Surged to 1st in CNN NH poll & 2nd in NYT Iowa poll
  • This campaign is surging. That is reflected in the polls and in the ground game. We're gonna win.

    This is why alot of Democratic politicians' criticism of Medicare for All feels inauthentic. The opposition is not principled, it is because consultants have told them it is too risky. Similar to when many of these same folks were softpedaling impeachment

    What do Jack White, Dispatch, Jason Mraz, Brandi Carlile, T.I., Lizzo, Arianna Grande, and Cardi B have in common? Read more here:
  • Fun: bagel breakfast birthday morning with the fam here in Denver Not as fun: learning that you share a birthday with Pat Buchanan and Scott Walker
  • This is the kind of statement that the political/media class considers totally uncouth. It horrifies the entire power structure. But here’s the thing: is exactly right.

  • Anytime slams Medicare for All, reporters should probably contextualize the criticism by disclosing that Biden’s campaign is bankrolled by a super PAC that’s run by health care industry lobbyists. Seems like that’s a relevant detail.
