"The riskiest thing we could do is try to play it safe." Mayor @PeteButtigieg at California Democratic Convention, talking about strategies to win the White House in 2020, avoiding looking like "defenders of the system." @FOX40 #CADem19 Image
"The time for small ideas is over." Elizabeth Warren got a pretty loud ovation. Usually a more progressive crowd at the #CADem19 conventions. Not surprising her address got big applause. @FOX40 Image
Warren referenced her policy plans to break up big ag, big banks, and big tech...along with her wealth tax plan, and universal college access/cancelling student loan debt for 95% of carriers. #CaDem19 @FOX40 Image

I’m at the MoveOn #BigIdeas forum in San Francisco outside of #CADem19 — should be an intriguing format. Candidates get 5 minutes to present their “big idea,” and then will have moderated questions. Stay tuned for who shines and who … does otherwise.
First up: Bernie Sanders. Warm welcome from crowd.
Bernie Sanders’ “big idea” is endless war.
“We have got to stop endless wars, we have got to cut military spending,” he says.
On that note, read my profile of Rep. Ro Khanna, who is co-chairing his campaign and who has bonded with him over this issue: sfchronicle.com/politics/artic…

.@ewarren at #CADem19: “For decades, the entire structure of our system has favored the rich and powerful. Pick any issue you care about and it’s painfully obvious.”

(📸: @DavidOAtkins)
"Tax loopholes favor the richest people & biggest corporations. Environmental regulations benefit drillers and polluters. The racial wealth gap holds back families generation after generation. The list goes on: gun violence, healthcare, and housing costs are piling up around us.”
“These are enormous problems. But they are all connected to one thing: power that is concentrated in the hands of the wealthy and well-connected who help themselves at the expense of everyone else.”

As Speaker of the House, it is my privilege to bring you the gratitude of our magnificent House Democratic Majority – a majority that California Democrats delivered! #CADem19 #BlueWaveRolling

We are going to have a frank talk about women’s rights, boycotts and big tents. The vast majority of Americans and the vast majority of Democrats support Roe v Wade and the autonomy and liberty of patents to choose the size and timing of their families. We must #StopTheBans. 1/
People are mobilizing on Tuesday May 21 to rally support for women’s rights and patients’ reproductive justice. (yes, trans and non-binary people can get pregnant too - be inclusive!) We must show support for patients and doctors criminalized under these extreme laws. Sign up! 2/
Sadly, one of our rallies must be in #Louisiana where a Democratic Governor pledged to sign a bill banning abortion rights even in the case of rape and incest. It’s awful and people should ask @LouisianaGov to give patients the same choice his wife had! 3/ cbsnews.com/news/democrati…
