Amy Klobuchar should have just made the traveling press corps eat some lutefisk. Standing in the snow is nothing by comparison.
I am here to rag on melted velveeta in any form and fish cured in lye.
Amy Klobuchar should just challenge the press to broomball.

I am here, once again, to complain about the nonsensical type hierarchy in the @washingtonpost app
I am not a designer, but there’s got to be a better way to resolve this. Also, idk, the leading seems off.
So here is the Times. Note that the caption doesn’t seem to overwhelm the byline and dateline. Because serif or smaller or both?

Incredible, disturbing reporting from the @HoustonChron and the @SanAntonioEx houstonchronicle.com/news/investiga…
All over the country, and the world, it has been local/regional papers and news orgs who’ve done the major work at exposing clergy abuse. Support local news.
Ah yes, how about this moral leadership

Queso is nasty and Tex Mex is glop.
cc @Fer_Echavarri (who agrees with me)
Lot of white people jumping to the defense of Tex Mex.

Amy Klobuchar on Fox: "The green new deal? I see it as – by the way, I see it as aspirational. I see it as a jump start. So, I would vote yes, but I would also, if it got down to the nitty-gritty of an actual legislation... that would be different for me."
Klobuchar on Green New Deal: "I am for a jump-start of the discussion and a framework, as Senator Markey has described. I’m not for reducing air travel."
Q: "Economic security for all who are unable or unwilling to work?"
Klobuchar: "I don’t agree with 'unwilling to work.'"

As documented by @TheAtlantic's always-excellent @JamesFallows, one of the underappreciated factors in 2016 election is the failure of #journalism to do its job (one Jim story-- he has many others).
...My thoughts on how to prevent repeat in 2020: <thread>
theatlantic.com/notes/2017/09/…
In 2016, MSM obsessively covered @HillaryClinton emails, while ignoring the far-more-important story of #FBI investigation of the Trump campaign. This failure had a major impact on the election's outcome. My analysis is shaped by experience in both in #journalism and politics:
We're seeing exactly the same dynamic in the 2020 campaign that we saw in 2016: MSM is focusing on horserace issues & GOP talking points, rather than delving into SUBSTANTIVE differences between the candidates. This could determine outcome of Dem primaries-- & general election.

Here’s another oldie but goody under @SpeakerPelosi well-oiled Ethics oversight machine: “The Board of the Office of Congressional Ethics has voted unanimously to refer to the United States Department of Justice certain evidence collected in the course of its investigation.
Rep Jeff Flake of Arizona & Paul Hodes of New Hampshire requested release of the evidence. However, under the circumstances of this case and the risk of prejudice to any pending criminal investigation, among other concerns, the Board was unable to grant their request.
“concerning appropriations earmarks and the now defunct PMA lobbying firm. The evidence pertains to a factual finding by the OCE Board that certain persons and companies saw their campaign donations as affecting decisions about earmarks.”

Amy Klobuchar, like several others in this election cycle, has done everything to prepare but hasn't yet announced. I, personally, am waiting with baited breath, Harris & Klobuchar are our A team 2020! #BlueWave2020 #ThursdayThoughts

2-This piece is fascinating, George Will (yep) points out how Klobuchar appeals to both sides-Dem & GOP alike. Worthy read!

1) In my ongoing penance, I am digesting Cankles' "What Happened" for you since I know none of you who want to remain sane would read it. I'm only going through 75 pp at a time for my own mental health.
2) So (77) Cankles says "I knew that being the first woman to have a serious chance at the White House, I was unlikely to be seen as a transformative, revolutionary figure. I had been on the national stage too long . . and (gag) my temperament was too even keeled."

I. AM. SWAMP.
3) On 78, Cankles compares herself--please, try not to laugh--to Teddy Roosevelt. "He was a shrewd politician who managed to fend off the . . angry populists on his left" (that would be Dinobernie). "Teddy found the right balance and called it the 'Square Deal'
Ugh.
