    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.

    REMINDER: touted Bernie's Medicare for All plan -- then gave him cash & Pete suddenly started attacking the same plan. This story tells you exactly who Pete answers to. (hint: it's not you, unless you're a billionaire)
