    I told the NY Times that “my principles don’t change with the job I’m in” and I think that’s proven to be true over the last 20 yrs. It hasn’t been a perfect career — but I’ve tried hard to live my values. Thanks to everyone for the support. Onward.

    Bernie Sanders has been pushing to expand Social Security since he was first sworn in as a Member of Congress -- and now his unwavering record has become a central focus of the 2020 election. That is a VERY GOOD thing. Retweet and spread the word.

    There's something discordant about the establishment alleging that Bernie is toxic...while the same establishment uses violent martial language to openly threaten Bernie's campaign and its supporters.
    The members of the team around Bernie Sanders "are about to experience what happens when a militia faces off in on an open field against a ruthless modern army armed with cluster bombs and napalm," warns . "They will be shredded and torched."

    To label , one of the country’s most intellectually honest journalists devoted to investigating political and financial corruption (who has at times left journalism for politics, always to return), as a mere Internet “troll” is to not be an honest journalist yourself
    While he might perfunctorily chide his followers, Sanders hired one of social media’s most aggressive trolls, David Sirota. Sanders cannot possibly mean to control animosity spewing from his camp while hiring people infamous for such conduct.

    This is written by the GOP operative who was the architect of Bush & Cheney's Iraq War lies. Clearly, they are trying to intimidate and frighten everyone. Don't be intimidated. Keep working as hard as you can.

    If you’re shook that Bernie is surging in the polls and you need to be mad at someone about it here on twitter dot com, I am here to absorb your rage. The replies are open for your primal screams at me. After 20 years in this, I’m used to the insults, so go for it.

    Bernie Sanders is the front-runner for Utah’s Democratic presidential primary on March 3 — doubling the percentage of support from his nearest rival in a huge field. But one of every five likely voters is still undecided.

    A reminder that one of the first bills Bernie ever co-sponsored was a bill to expand Social Security:
    Seniors cannot live in dignity when they're trying to survive on $13,000 or $14,000 a year in Social Security benefits. We have some bad news for those who want to cut Social Security.…
