Never flashy, @JayInslee didn’t find his lane. But he impressed me with his smart, earnest advocacy around climate change and an array of issues.
He leaves with his dignity in tact and reputation enhanced, which isn’t always true in presidential races.

I has an #AxeFiles convo with @JayInslee awhile back, before he set out on the POTUS path. Worth a listen.

This photo w/@BernieSanders was taken in an RV during the very 1st episode of the #theaxefiles on 9/28/15. Tomorrow, 346 eps later, we’ll be sharing a best of Dem candidates reel, featuring excerpts from past shows w/Sanders, @elizabethwarren, @KamalaHarris & @pete.buttigieg. 
Fun reminisces from all, including Sanders’s recollections of his years a student organizer at @UChicago in the ‘60s, where it all began! #AxeFiles on @hearluminary!!
That’s @PeteButtigieg!

I can't tell you how disappointed I am with @CoryBooker right now.
He literally just threw every single person in prison aside from "low-level drug users" especially folks on marijuana under the bus on the #AxeFiles
Beyond upset, plus he was factually incorrect too

1. Over 50% of people in state prisons are in prison for violent crimes @CoryBooker - you do not fix Mass Incarceration without extending mercy to these folks
While many of these people may also have drug problems or mental health problems they ALSO have violent charges

2. Of those 50% of people in state prisons who are incarcerated for violent crimes, the OVERWHELMING majority are PEOPLE OF COLOR...your choice to suggest your motivation is to address racial disparity while ignoring these folks is, with respect, laughable
