    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.

    I wish there had been as much critical media coverage of the toxic lies that led America into the Iraq War as there is critical media coverage of the tone of tweets.

    This congealing narrative that Bloomberg is the only person who can defeat Trump is one of the biggest lies ever told. Not a single poll supports this. Pundits and the Bloomberg camp are pushing this crap…

    Trump won’t protect Social Security. He has no concern for America’s hard working citizens who have earned their benefits. Not only will I protect Social Security, I will strengthen it. …

    Many in media & on this website are angrier at the tone of tweets than they are at politicians who supported: - the Iraq War - stop-and-frisk policies that terrorized communities of color - the fossil fuel industry that's fueling a climate crisis threatening all life on Earth

    Side note: I suspect this is a feature not a bug
    Every time I turn on cable TV I feel like I’m watching old clips from a 2005 time capsule. Save for a few exceptions, there are almost no voices on TV who have longtime experience working in & reflecting the progressive movement thats changing the Dem Party & American politics.
