Elizabeth Warren's first law review article blasted an anti-busing court ruling - CNNPolitics cnn.com/2019/07/06/pol…
Fascinating details from @ewarren. In 1975 she held the opposite view from #Biden. While he was arguing for a constitutional amendment to stop busing, she supported busing, critiquing those who would stop it, as she wrote in a law review article. (Harris was in grade school.)
It will be intriguing to watch Warren and Biden in the next debate, as she is famous for her opposition to him on bankruptcy, where she argued for the people and he defended the credit card companies.

This video is six minutes long.
The details come in at about four minutes.
The average ad is 45 seconds.
No delineation is made between public colleges and private. I personally balk at paying wealthy legacy kids' Harvard bills, but that just gets a handwave here.
1/
Our family has two kids in their freshman year. I would love to see their exorbitant college paid for. But I want more details on how we really get to this, and how it differs from @ewarren's plan. Taxing corporations seems like a fantasy, tbh. Break it down, Bernie.
2/
This plan as described here asserts that all people making over $150k pay for their kids' college in cash. But is that true? Or are they taking out loans and just not paying them because of how investments work--it's a write-off. Bernie should know this.

Of course she did. Because if women don't lie about sexual assault then there are two dozen women out there telling the truth about her husband sexually assaulting them.

Melania Trump reportedly told Donald that Christine Blasey Ford was 'lying' nypost.com/2019/07/07/mel…
The false claim that women lie about sexual assault has been debunked by actual statistics time and again. Fewer than 2% of rape accusations are false--lower than any other felony.
The idea that any woman wants to go through the brutality of reporting is flat out lunacy.
I wrote about the latest rape accusation against Trump.
The one everyone dismissed.
It was only 17 days ago.
That's all.
We really shouldn't have let it go.

It was a truly unfortunate decision on @SpeakerPelosi's part to allow herself to be baited into commenting negatively on four young Congresswomen of color. These women, especially @AOC, have generated immense interest and engagement in politics among young voters. They matter.
1/
AOC pushing back will be framed by older Democrats as proving Pelosi's point, but really, this is what a healthy party does--it has a range of views, it doesn't accede in lock-step like GOP does. AOC raises crucial points in response to Pelosi's attack.
2/
 thehill.com/homenews/house…
Pelosi's dismissal of activist voices which do reflect public sentiment as AOC said, is a wrong tack to take. If Pelosi is focused on winning 2020, she needs to support all wings of the party, not just the centrists. That's not how to reel in new young voters next year.

"Biden takes flak on race and busing. But his views may still mirror America’s" by @isaacstanbecker. This is a good piece that quotes historian Brett Gadsden, whose book "Between North and South" is the best place to start to understand Biden and "busing" washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/06…
To understand the #DemDebate2 exchange between #KamalaHarris & Joe #Biden, you have to understand that "busing" has been used since the 50s as a code word to oppose school integration. I cover this history in "Why Busing Failed" & the book's website whybusingfailed.com/anvc/why-busin…
White parents in the North organized after Brown v Board to maintain segregated schools, using euphemisms like "busing" & "neighborhood schools" to maintain segregated schools without explicitly saying they didn't like black or Latinx students #DemDebate2 whybusingfailed.com/anvc/why-busin…

Looking at her list, @SenWarren could've made more -- much more -- if she hadn't been so selective, if she hadn't stuck to work consistent with her principles. The vast majority of her work was standing up for consumers and small businesses.

/1
Warren was helping asbestos victims get their fair compensation, helping employees get their pay, and helping small businesses take on big ones. Last one there is her helping the lawyer portrayed in the movie A Civil Action. /2
Some of Warren's cases show just how deeply respected she is in her area of expertise. It is quite rare for a Circuit Court to appoint a neutral expert at all, much less an expert to advise them on a matter of law. /3

First question to @AmyKlobuchar is whether she thinks Trump should be impeached, and she dodges.

"The impeachment proceedings are up to the House. They're going to have to make that decision."

She says she's in the Senate and they'll deal with a trial if it comes to that.
Amy Klobuchar on why she opposes Medicare for all:

"I want to bring down your health care costs, I think I've explained that; and I think you've gotta believe me on this, I've been out front taking on pharmaceutical companies," she says at CNN town hall.
Amy Klobuchar's PLEASE CLAP moment:

"I have won every single congressional district in my state, including Michele Bachmann's."

*silence from college crowd who were kids when Bachmann retired*

"That's when you guys are supposed to cheer, OK?"

*laughter followed by applause*

The prosecutor #Biden got fired was leading a wide-ranging corruption probe into the natural gas firm #Burisma Holdings that employed Biden’s younger son, Hunter, as a board member. thehill.com/opinion/white-…
Last year, Biden bragged at a foreign policy event about his threats to the Ukrainian president but left out the part about his son’s company being investigated.

Elizabeth Warren in a recent speech:

“I’m not a person of color. I haven’t experienced anything like the prejudice that you may have experienced just because of the color of your skin.”

Also Warren:

"My Indian parents were forced to elope because of white racism"

Seriously.
Also Elizabeth Warren submitted multiple recipes for the Indian cookbook “Pow Wow Chow” and signed her name, “Elizabeth Warren - Cherokee”
Also, Elizabeth Warren used offensive, racially charged language to defend her claims of Native American heritage, declaring that her family had “high cheekbones” like “all the Indians do.”

Here is video of that moment:

.@CNN published an article today naming "25 influential American Muslims". edition.cnn.com/interactive/20… And unsurprisingly there are quite a few with a history of anti-Semitism. Not just Linda Sarsour, though of course she's on it. 1/14
Now before the inevitable charge of "Islamophobia" is made, I'll note that many on the list have steered entirely clear of Jew-hate and anti-Zionism. And some are involved in genuinely praiseworthy interfaith efforts. To them, kol hakavod for being honored! 2/14
.@CNN states that this list was compiled as a result of conversations with leading American Muslims, Let's meet some of them. We already know about Sarsour's admiration of #BlackDavidDuke and the terrorist murderer Rasmea Odeh, and her advertising for Sharia. 3/14
