    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 preemptively present this to you in anticipation of the completely predictable, totally fabricated "Bernie was not sufficiently loyal to Obama at an early enough time" attack that will probably be manufactured at tonight's .

    The more Bernie Sanders has risen in the polls, the more accounts on this website have told , and me that we are horrible people, bad at our jobs and should be immediately fired. Kinda makes you think...

    A new poll from finds that a "mistreated women" and "Republican oligarch" message against Bloomberg works a bit more effectively with likely Democratic voters in Super Tuesday states than stop-a…

    This video documents how the millionaires paid by billionaires who populate cable TV have been experiencing a year-long panic attack and temper tantrum. It’s great.

    we heard for four years about the devastating oppo dump that would be unleashed on Sanders if it ever came to that. Turns out it’s “people on the internet are rude sometimes” and “release the long-form doctor’s letter”

    Side note: I have never worked for, supported or been bankrolled by a politician who was elected as a Republican and endorsed George W. Bush -- which apparently is more than many allegedly "loyal" Democrats in the Beltway can say.
    I've worked for House Dems, worked on two Dem Senate races & helped elect a Democratic congressman, governor & state legislator. If you're gonna lecture me about party loyalty, I'd ask that you first detail…

    Incredible—the central charge Dovere based his entire report on has completely collapsed. Dovere here cites a source he should have, you know, talked to before publishing his article blowing up the whole thing. Utter hack.
    UPDATE: Sanders's now denying Sanders ever talked to Reid or that "crossed his mind to challenge Obama," despite public comments. Reid aide says not commenting on private talks but: “Bottom line: there was never a serious or established primary challenge to Obama"

    Get this. Final two tweets of this thread, which include comment that same after publishing, refute the first tweet and undermine a key part of the story.

    I've worked for House Dems, worked on two Dem Senate races & helped elect a Democratic congressman, governor & state legislator. If you're gonna lecture me about party loyalty, I'd ask that you first detail your record doing as much or more than I've done to elect Dems. Thanks.

    There's been far more media coverage of tweets than of repeatedly pushing to cut Social Security, and to raise Medicare/Medicaid co-pays in a deliberate way that makes it harder for low-income families to afford medical care. I want you to think about that.

    I dunno what will happen in the election, but the fact that we are even competitive against so much money and power reflects the strength of our grassroots movement, and also suggests this kind of sneering criticism from insiders is wrong.
    There's a tension between media elites, think tankers and their Twitter armies berating our campaign as amateur and incompetent, and our campaign being the frontrunner for the presidential nomination, despite millions of dollars being spent against us.

    They're not even pretending anymore. When you are literally giving a candidate's money manager a television platform to attack his client's opponent, it's not an accident -- there is a very deliberate intent at work.

    MSNBC has on to attack Bernie Rattner’s website: “Steve Rattner is the Chairman and CEO of Willett Advisors LLC, which invests former NY Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s personal and philanthropic assets” Think about that.

    I have a crazy idea: Those who insist our campaign must go silent in the face of attacks don't want us to do that because they desire "civility" - they want us to be silent because they know us refusing to be quiet up until now is part of why we are winning, and they hate that.

    *thousands of lanyards suddenly go silent*
    It might be a good idea for anyone working for an organization that has received lots of money from Mike Bloomberg to recuse themselves from commenting on a primary in which Mike Bloomberg is running.
