    Out of all the media stories about , this one from 2000 is my favorite. It says everything about persistence and leadership in the face of establishment intimidation and corporate money. These battles take so long to win.

    Emily is a progressive who won an incredibly tough primary, won the general election and helped Democrats win the legislature. She relies on grassroots donors. If you can pitch in anything at all, it would be a big help. Thanks for considering this request.
    PITCH IN: In 2018, you helped me win an upset victory & helped progressives win Colorado. I need your help again. As you can see, Trump aims to win this state. We must stop him. I dont take corporate PAC money, so please click…

    A contingent of Democrats -Biden, Delaney, Ryan - have argued Medicare-for-all would be bad for union workers. When General Motors cut health benefits for upwards of 46,000 striking union workers, it made counterargument pretty straightforward.
    Did General Motors just make the case for Medicare-for-all?

    Hmm. But Joe Biden keeps telling me it's Medicare For All that's going to make me give up my beloved health insurer.

    Let me be clear: I've never thought tweeting will win or lose the presidency, or any other election large or small. I think tweeting lets me drip a few facts into an vast ocean of bullshit, which momentarily makes me feel a bit better...before I remember it's probably pointless.
