    .’ latest attack on billionaires, tonight in South Carolina. Sanders asks “what do I mean when I say the current political system is corrupt?” His answer: billionaires can run for president and would be “taken seriously even if you were the dumbest person on Earth.”

    We have a cultural problem in DC, where taking jobs like this is not only accepted, but encouraged. In fact you are looked down upon if you don’t.

    Wall Street is mad at Bernie Sanders’ tuition-free college plan because it is financed by a tax on Wall Street speculation. Pete Buttigieg is suddenly airing ads slamming Bernie’s plan, as Pete raises money from Wall Street. That’s it. That’s the tweet.

    A front group for health insurance corporations is spending $1 million on TV ads like these attacking Democrats’ health care plans. 40% of the new ad buy will be in Iowa. ’s executive director, Lauren Crawford Shaver, is a Democrat.
  • 30 minutes of truly harrowing turbulence can make you remember what’s important in life. Really scary, but everything turned out fine. Whew.

    😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
  • Pete Buttigieg is now running a negative TV ad criticizing his opponents for supporting debt-free college: Pete is also having his staff promote an angry screed calling his Democratic opponents “faux progressive.” 👇🏻

    Many reporters seem hesitant to discuss the fact is, and has consistently been, one of the top Democratic frontrunners. So much media discussion revolves around Biden or the latest up-and-comer. There is a level of disbelief about the strength of his support.

    Thank you for pointing out this . is a trailblazer in many ways.
  • “(Sanders) is drawing crowds in the thousands, sometimes with Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez...Less than three months before the Iowa caucuses, polls show Mr. Sanders within striking distance of victory in both Iowa and New Hampshire.”
  • When you’re feeling very anti-malarkey
  • IMO we really needed a “No Malarkey” tour before the votes to deregulate Wall Street, authorize the Iraq War and pass the bankruptcy bill.

    from the editorial board that brought you the war in iraq...

    lmao if you start at "the children of billionaires shouldn't get free college" and decide the problem is free college and not the existence of billionaires, I don't know how to help you
  • This year has been a long century

    Here is an 8-stop malarkey tour: 🚌 Health care plan leaving 10 million uninsured 🚌 Welcoming Super PAC $$$ 🚌 Voting for the Iraq War 🚌 Billionaire fundraisers 🚌 Writing the Bankruptcy bill 🚌 Championing NAFTA 🚌 Pushing TPP 🚌 Defending the War on Drugs 🚍 🚍
  • tfw you really wanted to watch The Irishman, and your kids instead forced everyone to watch Home Alone II
  • The WashPost editorial board is literally employed by Jeff Bezos. It’s bizarre that we are simply expected to ignore facts like that, especially in the week we saw another billionaire (Bloomberg, who is Bezos’s candidate) simply transfer his own editorial board to his campaign.
  • Many of the DC political operatives who feign outrage at Bernie Sanders folk pushing back against misinformation are the same people who constantly insist they are truly serious about defeating Donald Trump. Kinda makes you think...
  • I am constantly mystified by those who “remain unbothered” by the climate crisis, the health care crisis, the college debt crisis and the economic inequality crisis
