    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 has a 30-year record of fighting not just to prevent Social Security from being cut, but to expand benefits for senior citizens, veterans & people with disabilities. Biden has a 40-year history of working with the GOP to try to cut Social Security. We break it down here⬇️

    The DNC apparently stuck to the rules when they were helping to eliminate candidates of color. Having eliminated them, the rules are being scrapped to give a billionaire a chance to buy the election and not have to compete against the eliminated ones.
  • that good feeling when you are married to a Democratic state legislator

    Another good sign: interest in Biden’s Social Security record is not waning. Even more encouraging: Iowa and NH are in the top five of Google searches.
     
  • The best part of this awesome segment is the interview with the private equity mogul literally at a yacht show
  • "'I am not a candidate of the corporate media,' Mr. Sanders has said."
  • This is egregious, and journalistic malpractice. The Associated Press deliberately omitted Bernie's words in order to manufacture a false narrative. Really bad.
  • when the takes are so stale they begin to recycle the same headlines in the same week

    Thanks for coming to the today. See you in committee this afternoon to get HB1153 one step closer to law!
  • Pain: working on a presidential campaign. Insane: one parent working on a presidential campaign while the other is in session in the state legislature. We’re keeping it together, kids are doing great...but wow, it’s a lot. Onward.
