1/31 TGIF “Berniestock”, Hot Toddies & Mocktail Hour/OT

The Progressive Wing Posted on January 31, 2020 by BennyJanuary 31, 2020

“If I had Medicare for All in 2012, I’d still be working. I wouldn’t be sitting here dying in my own home. And I don’t want that to happen to anybody else." –Jim Williams pic.twitter.com/FbvjpkMmle

— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) January 31, 2020

Good news Jim! The Progressive Wing agrees with you that Bernie is willing to fight for healthcare as an American right, but that all countries should offer it if they can. We know our country can afford it.

Quite the turnout for Berniestock featuring Bon Iver, though it’s still TBD whether Sanders himself will make it tonight from the Senate trial. pic.twitter.com/5KB6y1s1Rw

DNC Up to New Bullshite today…

The whole idea behind the current formula was to winnow the number, not add.

So now that Bernie Sanders is the frontrunner, the DNC is changing its debate rules mid-primary, eliminating the small donor threshold to let Bloomberg buy his way onto the stage.

Bloomberg’s surrogates are openly admitting he’s running as a Sanders spoiler.

Here we go again. https://t.co/WqGTuQijKo

1/27 Bernie Releases New Iowa Ad: “Generations” & Afternoon OT

The Progressive Wing Posted on January 27, 2020 by BennyJanuary 27, 2020

I like the way this is parsed.

Speaking of generations.

BREAKING: 30 @CCIAction and @IAStudentAction members are refusing to leave @JoeBiden’s statewide headquarters in Des Moines over his lies about #MedicareForAll and his ties to the insurance company CEOs who are funding his campaign. pic.twitter.com/95qJWFv3x6

11/14 Although There is A Recount Going On, Sick Rott Decides to Attend Freshman Orientation in DC Anyway; News Round-Up & OT

The Progressive Wing Posted on November 14, 2018 by BennyNovember 14, 2018

Rick Scott is in DC for Senate Freshman Orientation as Florida Recount Rages On

Scott stood beside Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for a photo op along with incoming Republican freshman senators including Tennessee’s Marsha Blackburn and Missouri’s Josh Hawley Wednesday morning.

The incoming senators will vote for party leadership as well as pose for endless photos and learn where the restrooms are located.

So the question is, did Sick Rott invite himself or did McConnell?

I was gobsmacked by the photo-op on C-SPAN this morning.

Feel free to post your news via excerpts, tweets, and videos. This also serves as an open thread.

See you in the comments.

Would Medicare For All cause millions of people to lose their jobs?

The Progressive Wing Posted on September 28, 2017 by magsviewSeptember 28, 2017

And would those lost jobs disproportionately affect women? Even worse, low-income women? From Bernie’s Sept. 13, 2017, editorial in the New York Times titled, ‘Why We Need Medicare For All’: The reason that our health care system is so outrageously expensive is that it is not designed to provide quality care to all in a cost-effective way, but to provide huge profits to the medical-industrial complex. Layers of bureaucracy associated with the administration of hundreds of individual and complicated insurance plans is stunningly wasteful, costing us hundreds of billions of dollars a year. As the only major country not to … Continue reading →

9/1 Is Kamala Harris Becoming a Bernie Bro?

The Progressive Wing Posted on September 1, 2017 by BennySeptember 1, 2017

Ryan Cooper at This Week Penned an article that the TOP PTA wouldn’t like very much. The headline in the subject line of this diary is similar the one The Week posted online. How should Democrats position their party to restore their catastrophic losses from the last eight years? The same factions from the 2016 primary have continued to slug it out, with the leftists arguing for more economic populism and the centrists arguing to stay the course. Now Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), a centrist darling, has taken up the major proposal of the left, by becoming a co-sponsor of … Continue reading →
