Bethlehem Steel’s furnaces went cold 20 years ago. The valley’s thriving economy today is driven by insurance, banking, health care and education. Air and water are cleaner. And a Dem, @RepSusanWild, flipped the GOP congressional seat last fall.
Also, @RepSusanWild beat a Bernie-endorsed candidate to her left and a Trump-curious guy to her right in the Dem primary, in case you want to argue which Dem 2020 presidential nominee has a better shot in these kinds of places
This is one of the moments POTUS seems to have reacted to, when Bernie got the audience to participate in a call-and-response

2 days after a cold snap led Trump to tweet 'Whatever happened to climate change?' his administration issues a devastating report predicting US economy will shrink 10% if nothing is done to fight warming. nyti.ms/2zmesuU
"In direct language, the 1,656-page assessment lays out the devastating effects of a changing climate on the economy, health and environment, including record wildfires in California, crop failures in the Midwest and crumbling infrastructure in the South,'' reports NYT
"The report could become a powerful legal tool for opponents of Mr. Trump’s efforts to dismantle climate change policy, experts said."

So a week ago I wrote about how health care is a top issue in the Senate race in West Virginia, one of the poorest, most unhealthy states. The next day I began a vacation in Italy & experienced a health emergency. The contrast w our system was stark. 1/ nytimes.com/2018/09/08/us/…
In WV the Medicaid expansion has lowered the uninsured rate almost more than any state, but the GOP candidate calls the ACA a calamity bc of spiking premiums & wants total repeal. 2/
The Dem accuses his opponent of trying to eliminate protections against insurers discriminating against patients w pre-existing conditions. The debate is angry and polarized, as it has been for decades in the US. Meanwhile, Italy believes health care is simply a right. 3/

There was anger over POTUS’s remarks about LeBron James & Don Lemon. The unsubtle racial overtones brought to mind interviews I did with Trump supporters at a rally of vintage car owners in western Penn. 1/
The president seems to instinctively get what arouses a swath of his core supporters.
The covo among 3 car owners moved from illegal immigrants to Black Lives Matter to NFL kneelers. 2/
Owner No. 1: ‘Veterans are coming back with arms and limbs missing, nobody protests about that shit. But you’ve got thse foreigners that ain’t supposed to be here to begin with and they’re out there protesting…3/

The debate is on the UK's progress towards net zero. Lib dem's Layla Moran kicks off. Stresses the debate has cross party backing and says she would not have applied for the debate without the School Strikes.
The House looks just under a quarter full. The Government benches... less so.
Jonathan Edwards of Plaid says the House is 'dysfunctional'. Complains that MPs bang on about Brexit, but it is a disgrace that climate has not been debated for two years.

Outtakes from the #DNC Executive Meeting in #PuertoRico (thread)

Chair promises a 2020 process that is fair. Will release a protocol on debates soon; expect debates in summer 2019 . Will decide by March 2019 the Host City for 2020 Convention: Houston, Miami Beach, or Milwaukee.
We have worked hard to rebuild trust on our presidential process. Rules and Bylaws Cttee working with early states on rules. A key rule change ends superdelegates voting 1st round absent consensus candidate BUT elected officials can still be PLEOs & not run against constituents.
The PLEO Party Leader Elected Official designation is for pledged delegates who are Members of Congress Governors etc who want a first round #DNC convention vote but don’t want to run against activist to get there.

Within weeks of the Orlando nightclub shooting, Sen. Tom Udall (D-NM) participated in a sit-in at the House to demand votes on gun control legislation, saying, "We owe it to the LGBT community & all families harmed by gun violence to keep terror suspects from obtaining guns."
Since he was first elected to Congress in 1998, Sen. Udall has taken a leadership role on a wide array of environmental issues, receiving a lifetime score of 96% from the League of Conservation Voters.
#DemSenate2020 #DemsWork4USA #DemFuture #ForThePeople
Sen. Udall was one of the original co-sponsors of the Arctic Wilderness Bill, and more recently has worked closely with the Navajo and Pueblo nations in New Mexico to oppose new leasing, drilling and fracking near Chaco Canyon National Park. #DemSenate2020 #DemFuture

Today's @BV post is about how the U.S. middle class hasn't actually lost ground since the 1970s: bloomberg.com/view/articles/…
After adjusting for inflation - which means taking into account the rising costs of health care, housing, education, etc. - the median American has seen real income gains of 30-45 percent since the mid-70s.
That median income increase includes government transfers! America has been getting more generous, not less; real transfers have been going up and up.

Also, non-wage market income (pension contributions, asset income, etc.) has gone up.
