    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.

    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.” 👇🏻
    “ has nevertheless resisted the faux-progressive lure of big, universal programs and designed one that would provide help to those who need it.”…

    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.
    Another aspect of that deserves more media attention is that in an era of growing anti-Semitism, a Jewish-American has been a strong co-frontrunner for Democrats. Whatever your politics, this is a terrific milestone in American politics.

    IMO we really needed a “No Malarkey” tour before the votes to deregulate Wall Street, authorize the Iraq War and pass the bankruptcy bill.

    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.
