    Joe Biden says funding community health centers was "one of the crowning achievements" of Obamacare. Couldn't agree more. I was proud to work with Rep. Clyburn to secure that funding.

    I told Westword: I dropped everything to do this tough slog of a job because this multiracial, multigenerational movement is our best hope to address the healthcare crisis, climate crisis & other emergencies that threaten our future. It's that simple.

    Mike Bloomberg is saying he is most qualified to be president because of his management experience — and he’s saying that after he managed a stop and frisk program that terrorized communities of color. Take a moment to really ponder that.

    The person who wins the most votes should be the Democratic nominee. Period. If we want to restore our democracy, we need to lead by example.

    Two polls today showing Bernie performing best against Trump in PA and WI. I'm sure that will elicit a collective shrug from the establishment. I'm curious, however, what rationale they offer for why Bernie's outperforming their preferred choices.

    Joe Biden has a 40-year history of working with Republicans to cut Social Security. Bernie Sanders has a 30-year record fighting to expand Social Security & prevent cuts. If you have parents, grandparents or great-grandparents in South Carolina & beyond, show them this video:

    I've also been wrong & admitted it. I'm not perfect, it's true. So fine, vilify me for a wrongly worded old headline (I didnt write) about Venezuela. But I didnt lie us into war. I didn't defend banks that destroyed our economy. The people who did that are the ones vilifying me.

    Look, I'm not perfect. Over 20 yrs, I've occasionally said stuff inartfully & there are one or two columns whose headlines (that I didnt write) inaccurately overstated what I wrote. If you want to vilify me for that, thats your right. But you arent being honest - and you know it.

    I am amused that some folks are apparently so utterly desperate, they are actually doing oppo on little ol' me -- scouring and dishonestly decontextualizing my old columns from years ago. No doubt, they will soon come upon this -- the most damning piece of oppo research on me 👇

    "Who loves dictators? Bernie or his rivals?" - my latest video essay, post the Cuba controversy and touching on US relations with the Saudis, the Chinese, the Egyptians, et al, has some pictures, videos and quotes that you really need to see:
    Who Loves Dictators? Bernie or His Rivals?
    While Bernie Sanders's top rivals attack him for defending autocrats, his two top rivals — Joe Biden and Michael Bloomberg — have long records of cozying up to dictators.
