2/21 TGIF –Green Theme & Open Thread

The Progressive Wing Posted on February 21, 2020 by BennyFebruary 21, 2020

WHAT COULD YOUR FAMILY DO WITH $25,160?

According to the Millman Medical Index, a family of 4 pays on average $28,000 in medical costs. Under Medicare for All a family of 4 with a household income of $100,000 a year would pay $2840.
$28,000 – $2840= $25,160 in savings! #M4A pic.twitter.com/EDCEK0kuxN

We see green when someone calls Nina Turner, Brie Joy, Ilhan Omar, and other team members of the Sanders campaign:

.@MSNBC #FireJasonJohnson after what is clearly a racist & misogynistic rant. If you allow that hate-filled man, who might hate @BernieSanders because he's Jewish for all we know, to continue to work for you then you're endorsing bigotry & should have your ratings fall to zero.😡 https://t.co/RajKAaIIt7

And why?

Something the Warren, Biden, and Buttigieg campaigns are desperate for.

Speaking of green, it’s mocktail/cocktail time.

8/2 News Roundup and Open Thread

The Progressive Wing Posted on August 2, 2018 by BennyAugust 2, 2018

Today’s big story broke this morning in the NYT: Trump Unveils His Plan to Weaken Car Pollution Rules The proposal would freeze rules requiring automakers to build cleaner, more fuel-efficient cars, including hybrids and electric vehicles, and unravel one of President Barack Obama’s signature policies to combat global warming. It would also challenge the right of states to set their own, more stringent tailpipe pollution standards, setting the stage for a legal clash that could ultimately split the nation’s auto market in two. The Trump administration’s proposal, jointly published by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Transportation Department, would roll … Continue reading →

Jess Phoenix’s Campaign For Congress (CA-25)

The Progressive Wing Posted on October 26, 2017 by LieparDestinOctober 26, 2017

From Jess 2018

I’ve seen the value of stepping up my whole life. Both of my parents were FBI agents for over 20 years. When you have people like that as your role models, loyalty, bravery, and integrity become your way of life.

Until now, my way of serving has been through working to understand our planet and how we can live with it…even the dangerous parts like volcanoes and earthquakes. I give back by helping educate the scientists of the future; young women and men from all backgrounds who will be the innovators, educators, and conservationists of the future.

I was moved to step out of my work boots and into the race for Congress because people like Donald Trump and Steve Knight are threatening that future by destroying some of the most basic things we all agree are important. Education, scientific research, disaster preparedness, critical parts of our communities like roads and bridges, national parks, and wildlife are all under assault. Our economy thrives when we invest in our people and our planet. Trump and Knight both deny the science of climate change, which impacts our economy, health and way of life. Their attacks on immigrant families, women’s rights and healthcare coverage are offensive and damaging to the most vulnerable people in our society.

I’m working to win the job of representing the people I care about and the places I love, and because everyone should have a bright today and a brilliant tomorrow.

10/11 News Roundup – Progressives Push For A Primary Challenge For Feinstein, The Fight For “Tuition Free College” & More

The Progressive Wing Posted on October 11, 2017 by LieparDestinOctober 11, 2017

Hello friends!

Starting off with the TheProgressives Push for A Feinstein Primary Challenge:

Progressives are gearing up to challenge Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) after the long-time senator announced Monday that she will run for re-election next year.

Confirming her bid on Twitter, Feinstein vowed to keep working on “ending gun violence, combating climate change,” and addressing “access to healthcare.”

However, during her five terms in the U.S. Senate, the 84-year-old has also riled many progressives with her opposition to a single-payer healthcare system and her support for laws such as the Patriot Act and the FISA Act.

In a recent piece for Splinter, formatted as an open letter to the senator, Emma Roller captured a growing sentiment among California progressives:

Let’s face it: You are a hawkish, centrist Democrat in a state full of voters that have become much more liberal than you have shown yourself to be. Perhaps now would be a great time to retire and make way for a candidate who better reflects the views of your constituents?

Now that Feinstein has committed to running, though, constituents and even some other California lawmakers are calling for more progressive candidates to challenge her.

The article goes on to talk about potential challengers and such, but fails to mention that Feinstein already had a primary opponent for months, proud Democratic Socialist David Hildebrand:

David Hildebrand’s Campaign Announcement Video vs Dianne Feinstein

The Progressive Wing Posted on September 29, 2017 by LieparDestinSeptember 29, 2017

As Half of California’s likely voters think Sen. Dianne Feinstein should retire, candidates are stepping out of the Woodworks to try and take the seat.

David Hildebrand is one such person as profiled here at TPW.

David Hildebrand is a Democratic Socialist running to represent the residents of the State of California in the U.S. Senate. The son of a union carpenter, and a member of a union himself, he knows the value of organizing.

David graduated from CSU Sacramento, where he earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Government. He volunteered and eventually became the Staging Location Director for California’s 6th Congressional District. It was during this time that he saw the true power of a grassroots campaign, run by the people and for the people.

After the primary, he felt compelled to stay involved and continue the fight for a better future, and after serious consideration, decided that he would start a U.S. Senate campaign to represent the working people of California.

David has now launched his first campaign announcement video:

David is very active on Twitterso If that’s your thing, you can follow him there or on facebook.

And just incase they are not listed in the video, here are more of David’s priorities.

9/21 News Roundup – Bernie Heads To California, Medicare For All’s Strong Support & More

The Progressive Wing Posted on September 21, 2017 by LieparDestinSeptember 21, 2017

Good morning friends. I’ve been pretty much out of commission since yesterday but wanted to at least put some content up gradually through the day as I am able. There is plenty of Bernie news, single payer articles, a pretty good selection of youtube vids (if I had to say so myself), and of course the latest water protector/pipeline actions.

Starting the day off though with something a little different. Well if you think about it, its not too very different at all. As the pattern goes: ARTICLE CLAIMS RUSSIA HACKED U.S. > MAJOR MEDIA COVERAGE > Story slowly dies > Turns out Russia didnt do anything > no/to few corrections issued. MOA actually wrote about this not too very long ago in a post titled The Undeniable Pattern Of Russian Hacking>The Undeniable Pattern of Russian Hacking.

Russian hack attempt on Dallas County computers never happened.

Earlier this summer, Dallas gained national attention when county officials claimed Russians tried to hack their voter registration rolls.

Tried but failed.

It was national news when the story broke last June. It was news again when the story re-surfaced on a network newscast just days ago. But emails obtained by WFAA indicate that the information coming from Dallas County officials and circulating around the country was wrong.

The headlines stem from an FBI visit to Dallas County officials in the fall of 2016, prior to the November presidential election.

Agents armed with a list of suspected Russian hackers that may have tried to penetrate Dallas County voter rolls.

For months, there was no word from county officials as to what became of that information, until this past June.

Then, suddenly, the story of a Russian hack attempt was confirmed to the entire North Texas media.

The confirmation was coming from Dallas County elections administrator Toni-Pippins Poole. Pippins-Poole told the news media that her IT department confirmed 17 attempts by Russians to hack into the Dallas County voter rolls.

It quickly became national news then and again just days ago on MSNBC.

But WFAA has obtained internal Dallas County emails indicating the Russian hack attempt likely never happened.

Now everything else will be in the comments. Would love to hear your opinions on this story though. First person to find a MSNBC retraction wins bonus mojo!
