And here we are in September. Let’s start with Bernie’s reaction to the corporate blitz planned against the reconciliation bill.

Bernie Sanders’s Third Campaign: As chair of the Senate Budget Committee, Sanders’s big-government message has found its moment. “If you’re asking me was I born to be an inside-the-Beltway player, I was not. I would much prefer to speak to a rally of 25,000 people than get on the phone and talk to some of my colleagues. That’s true,” he says, as he leans into the next campaign. “But this is my job. This is where all my energy is at the moment. I’ve got to do it, and I will do it.”

Let’s start the month rolling. August 3 can’t come fast enough.

Starting with a pretty good article about the state of the race in Ohio.
