Warren's Des Moines speech is faster with applause lines than any of her speeches so far: "Strengthen our unions," "health care is a basic human right," "join the rest of the world and provide child care."
Warren's stump also ends with a three-part framing of her agenda:

- Change the rules in Washington (anti-corruption)
- Change the rules of the economy (unions, health care)
- Change the rules of politics (voting rights, campaign finance reform)
Also, if you're on WARREN COLD WATCH, she's actually recovered her voice during the speech -- just more warbly than usual.
Each speech is also ending with a kind of cri de coeur: "Dream big and fight hard."
VOTER: Thank you for sponsoring the Bankruptcy Bill of 2018
WARREN: It's a nerd thing.
Extremely 2019 moment: Warren says the words "Wells Fargo" and the crowd starts booing.
And we're out. Warren's walk-off music: Aretha Franklin, "R-E-S-P-E-C-T."

I'm at GWU at the moment where Bernie sanders is telling a rapt audience of college students about he successful campaign to end the power of superdelegates. (Lots more to go in speech, just interesting how he started.)
Sanders on his work for Hillary in 2016: "It was clear to many of my supporters that on her worst day, she would have been a much better president than Trump."
On how he felt on election day: "My wife, who is smarter than me on most issues, thought Trump was going to win."

It was for conservative voters! All-time blunder by Dem establishment was to fulminate about how the court "needed nine" justices, instead of relentlessly explaining to their base what the first liberal majority in decades could do.
My pet theory is that the Aaron Sorkin wing of liberalism over-learned the lesson of FDR's court-packing, and doesn't want to alienate voters by admitting the truth that you need favorable courts to make policy.
The story of court-packing is actually sort of proto-Trump: FDR threatened to blow up the norms of the conservative court. Public was divided. Editorial pages, aghast. Judges backed down and started ruling for FDR.

21m15s - 'officially' go live.

@CiaronOReilly starts describing the scene outside the Ecuadorian Embassy London, where they are guarding Julian Assange, inside.

"It's Saturday night & we're next to Harrods so the co-option of..."

@CiaronOReilly:

For 6 years, Julian Assange has been experiencing sensory deprivation inside the Embassy.

"No sense of hot or cold, not seeing more than five meters."

Unsurprisingly, he has developed physical health problems.
6. #Wikibees #20 🐝

@CiaronOReilly is bristling at the Guardian's attacks on Julian Assange.

"They present him as elitist & aloof, and he's not."

"My personal experience.. is he has a great self-depreciating sense of humor and he's a compassionate man."

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...

It’s DAY FOUR of the Kavanaugh hearings how we doin friends?
The format for today's hearings is different with 5 panels of witnesses, some from the GOP and some from the Dems. Senators will likely shuffle in and out today
Some folks have asked what happens next. Well, the Judiciary Committee has to vote first. Dems have few procedural tools to block a committee vote but they could delay it. That would put it sometime around the 20th or so of September my my rough morning math

Having trouble understanding what SJWs say?

1. You're not alone.
2. It may be simply a case of misunderstanding. They speak their own language, the beauty of which lies in its simplicity.
