Biden set the 24-hour-fundraising bar in that conf. call earlier this week and he appears to have met it --raised $6.3 million in 1st 24 hours, more than Sanders and O'Rourke. 96,926 contributors.

THOUGH pay attention to potential spin in that Biden press release -- 1/2
2/2 Biden heralds ONLINE donations.... "97% of online donations were under $200... average online donation was $41"...

What about donations overall?

And how much of $6.3M is just for primary cash v general election? Will update with more when we get it --
UPDATE: Campaign says ALL of this $6.3M is primary cash, NONE is for general.

Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, a victim of the shooting at the Chabad of Poway Synagogue, tells NBC his “fingers got blown away” during Saturday’s incident.
2/ Goldstein heard a “large bang” and turned around, “face to face with this murderer, terrorist who was holding the rifle and looking straight at me. Then as soon as he saw me he started to shoot toward me, and that’s when I put my hands up, and my fingers got blown away.”
3/ Rabbi Goldstein went on to say his close friend Lori Kay, was shot dead in the moments following. “Then he continued on, and he just killed Lori Kay right there on the spot.”

1) His reporting repeatedly has eschewed any actual context and represents the select misreading of randomized facts. Saying this is "accurate" is in itself deception. His singular skill set is in the misuse and manicuring of fact to achieve a desired claim....
2) He is the personification of the old newsroom adage: "I had to shape my facts to fit my story." Calling him a real reporter is an affront to anyone who ever actually labored at the craft. Let's pause to examine one such decontextualization of reality:
3) Two months after receiving the very real personal gain of having Sanders, a national figure, appear on behalf of his wife's personal campaign, Sirota embarked on an attack on O'Rourke, then perceived to be a primary campaign threat to Sanders. Mark you, there is no...

Did this pretty quickly so don't take as gospel, but it looks to me like 10 candidates have already qualified for the debates under the DNC's *polls* criteria: Biden, Sanders, Harris, O'Rourke, Warren, Booker, Klobuchar, Castro, Gillibrand, Buttigieg.
Gabbard, Inslee, Hickenlooper and Brown (if he were to resurrect his bid for some reason) already have 2 of the 3 polls they need. The fundraising threshold is probably the *easier* way to qualify (65K donors) but polls is pretty easy too. bit.ly/2UN80FJ
Yang claims he's met the donor threshold, and we have no reason to doubt him. (Although, it will be a while before the DNC officially verifies anything.)

We are not sure that any other candidates that *didn't* meet the polling threshold *have* met the donor one—but are checking.

This awed tone of MSM coverage of #Sanders is so gendered.

Harris and Klobuchar are both daughters of single mothers who had to raise their kids alone after their husbands left the families.
Warren also grew up in a working class family in Oklahoma.

THREAD📌📌📌
1/
Money was a stress for these women's families as well. Klobuchar has spoken movingly of her family's estrangement from her father, an alcoholic.
But the coverage of these women not only hasn't reflected this awe of their families' struggles, but has been harshly critical.

2/
No one has situated Klobuchar's perfectionism within the well-documented construct of being the child of an alcoholic fighting chaos.

Harris and Klobuchar both had to work harder than their male counterparts to get on their college & career paths, due to their backgrounds.

Week 2 CFB. Gonna go down the rotation and talk ACC and SEC:

GT @ USF (+3.5/63) Color me surprised by side and total here. Expected USF to be slight chalk but hasn't been the case. Total feels about a TD too high to me here but this is a very high variance game, IMO.
Not much to be gleaned from either team's Week 1 games against Elon and Alcorn State. I'll start with GT, I think they could be a candidate for improvement this year. I think the big upgrade was getting rid of Roof at DC and hiring Woody. Simplifying things is usually good.
Didnt' see GT week one but appears they are still trying to get Marshall to throw more and he's still throwing like the A-Back he played prior to QB. Earlier this week USF LB was asked about GT and he said, "Navy with athletes". Last time they played Navy, 52-45 win in 2016.
