More news, tweets, perspectives, news in the comments. Monday, Monday!
The Progressive Wing
You Are The Revolution
+2700 💩
you’re a trooper Benny!🦋💜🐟🌝
This was promised in the campaign. Biden caved to corporate Democrats. Why bother with putting this in the SOTU when you don’t deliver what you little you promised.
A lot of people will be sitting at home next year because they think Biden is wedded to corporate donors. And his efforts show his fidelity to them, not the regular Joe from Scranton, PA. If I were John Fetterman, I’d be running away from Biden.
yikes. didn’t know that fetterman was cozying up to biden. goes against his independent/progressive image.
also yay for welch.
Fetterman hasn’t cozied to anyone so far. I hope it stays that way.
Fetterman hasn’t won his Mayoral and Lt. Governor’s races by cozying up to GOPukes and GOPuke lites. He knows better.
Genuine Progressives are going to be in some of these Democratic Primaries, the DNC be damned. They will run on these issues. And some, if not all, will win. Regardless of all the noise and propaganda the Craporate Media spews, these candidates get the word out, voters will respond.
Well said Benny.
Smart politics. I hope Beto comes through.
i wish he’d shadow bernie for a while and get solid. and i desrly hope he wins.
I think it’s best that Beto tries to get more endorsements from locals and state officials in Texas.
yeah. i just feel like it would do him good to work with a solid progressive for a while he seems sort of wishy washy to me, still.
He will have to appeal to disillusioned voters like LD. He’s won office before; he knows it.
Another phony until proven otherwise.
His gun stance will hurt him, not that i disagree with his stance as he wants to get weapons of war off the street. The gun nuts down thier would rather give up thier first born than their guns
I’m hoping since Beto was splitting his initial fundraising with DGA they will be able to help his campaign.
i was hoping you meant DSA. 😂
People need to force the car companies to allow them to disable those surveillance functions in their cars if they so desire.
Agreed On Star gathers enough info on you even if you dont use it.
Obama, best president ever.
lol. big club vibes.
Guess that will help the Raygun Yuppie pay off that eyesore he owns in Martha’s Vineyard.💩
In that pix he looks like a clone of Lex Luther
I got a question about industry ratios related to this company today. Thanks for sharing as now I know I answered correctly where to look!
Hedge Funds and Private Equity need to be wiped off the face of the earth.
dang. Bernie can be so frustrating, too. There was a progressive who was considering a run.
“Welch, a Democrat, is known to be planning a run to replace Leahy if and when he retires. If Sanders endorses Welch, he functionally forecloses any challenge from the left. State Rep. Tanya Vyhovsky is also contemplating a run for Senate if Leahy steps down but told The Intercept she won’t do so if Sanders gets behind Welch. “I don’t want to lose any capacity I have [in the state legislature] in a race that’s unwinnable,” she said. “That is a big piece of this — if Bernie is going to endorse Peter there’s not much point doing it.”
the intercept.
Maybe he felt she did not have a chance
She may be better suited for the House. Bernie knows from experience that it’s tough to go to a big position without the requisite steps.
good point.

Are there issues with Welch? I’m not super familiar with his record, but nothing jumps out at me as a problem.
afaik, just more right on the scale than bernie. nothing to worry about, idt.
Biggest problem is his age. We need someone younger that can carry on when Bernie retires. Isn’t Welch 71?
how weak is it to make the pitiful number of drugs they’re even going to negotiate not take effect until after the next presidential election?
It’s like they don’t mind if the Republicans win.
if we’re so deflated, i feel badly for Bernie. A lesser man might allow humiliation to show. I admire his strength.
They don’t care if the Repuplicans win. It’s the other siad of the oligarchy coin, and they all have to play nice and share, when it comes down to it.
Man, if she isn’t an indictment of how full of corrupt sh1t the DNC is!💩💩💩💩💩💩

The NYT continues to spew the nonsense of attacking what constitutes a Left in this country. It’s yahoos like James Carville, Spannbergen (sp?) and other GOPuke lites who are the real problem.
this is the New Yorker. I think they’re owned by a different “people.“
Although I would’ve preferred an even more direct approach this is by a writer i value and believes she makes some good points especially these here.

apparently there’s a documentary coming out on Showtime, with a fairly reliable, highly positioned, ex-CIA guy talking about it. maybe already out.

JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass
The good info was more than likley destroyed long ago, along with death threats to family members if they talked. time has passed to the point that anyone that knows anything is dead.
probably. still might take the free week and cancel if i have one left.
