    Someone — anyone — with resources, please steal this idea. Please.
    I told this to (who I think is a good guy) when he visited Denver a few years back, and I’m gonna say it again: he should buy a bunch of newspapers in fossil fuel states & give those newsrooms the mandate to aggressively cover the fossil fuel industry & climate change.

    It appears tonight that Elizabeth Warren, after struggling mightily in 4 straight states, just decided to throw under the bus. It’s sad to see her make this turn. Even after this, Bernie would never speak ill of her.
