    Some folks were all upset that has been leading the fight to prosecute fossil fuel companies that are knowingly destroying the planet. But guess what? A new poll shows that it’s a really, really popular idea.

    maybe the logical next step is to stop publishing climate deniers?

    Interesting -- & his Washington Post "fact checking" team were quick to give Bernie 3 Pinocchios for his demonstrably accurate statement about medical bankruptcies -- meanwhile, they haven't said anything about Joe Biden's comments here:

    Biden today said "details are irrelevant" and his judgment has been sound - but he's backed the Iraq War, the bankruptcy bill, NAFTA & Social Security cuts, all while opposing serious efforts to end the climate & healthcare crises. READ THE BERN NOTICE:

    NEW: says the details don't matter - maybe that explains some of his votes. Bernie knows the details matter & his judgment has led him to be on the opposite side of Biden on the major issues of the day. Read the BERN NOTICE here -- and retweet:

    I don’t think young voters are going to be more pro-Joe when they find out about Joe’s vote for the Iraq War and his legislation to help credit card companies crush young people with debt...
    Senior Biden campaign officials on call with reporters emphasize his standing: 316 endorsers in 25 states, and claim he has a coalition that’s more diverse than his rivals. Concede he’s not as strong among young voters, which they attribute to them not being familiar with record.

    This is an abomination, and every single good, honest journalist who works hard to accurately report facts should understand how shameful this is -- especially because the WashPost continues to refuse to issue a correction.

    Anything you can pitch in would be super helpful. It’s not easy to be an underdog taking on the establishment, win an incredibly difficult primary, win the general and then help lead the fight for progressive change in the legislature. But she’s doing it — with your help.
    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…

    It took the Post five days to update its piece, and the update is incredibly insufficient. The Post fact checking team - the fact checking team!! - is trying to "he said / she said" their way past their own glaring factual errors. A total disgrace

    Krystal Ball: Washington Post "fact check" proves Bernie right. Everyone who believes in facts should watch this. Yes, at least 500,000 Americans go bankrupt each year because of medical debt. Working together, we will end that unacceptable reality.

    “The Washington Post is trying to use fact checking as an ideological weapon. Sanders is under attack not for making false statements, but for calling attention to facts that are politically unpalatable for those who are happy with the economic status quo”

    I get a lot of hate emails and tweets — but I never thought I’d see someone using this website to openly beg a billionaire to take revenge on me. That’s a first.

    According to , Joe Biden launched his campaign by holding a fundraiser with the “founder and chairman of the union-busting law firm Cozen O’Connor” — the firm’s website says it helps corporations “avoid unionization.”
    Biden, in Iowa City, tells this Labor Day picnic crowd that people who aren’t in unions are realizing they’re being taken advantage of. “All of the sudden they’re figuring out that they’re in trouble.”…

    I hear a lot in the corporate media about how Medicare for All is just "too expensive." You know what is too expensive? Paying $28,000 a year for health insurance – the average for a family of four. That is really damn expensive! And it's going to end under Medicare for All.
