The candidate for president, Beto O'Rourke, responds to an antagonistic tweet from the current president. Notable is the fake Hispanic comment; like Liz Warren, the president appears to favor focusing on racial purity, or as he sees it, a lack thereof. (See all Pocahontas tweets)
Also notable, the stark change in tone from mere days ago.

"Open wounds cannot heal if we are divided" is what President Trump said on Monday following the shootings in El Paso and Dayton.
Also a fact left out by President Trump: Beto is a name the candidates parents gave him. He has had it since childhood. Most people seem to be aware of this already because Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, legal name Rafael Edward Cruz, made it a talking pt during Beto's run agnst him.
From the candidate's twitter feed, a snapshot of him as a very young child with the nickname given to him by his family emblazoned across his chest.

What I find interesting about the rxns to this podcast is the # of ppl who didnt want anything to do w/Sanders, listened and came away w/ either a) changed perspective on him or b) a willingness to ask more q's re: healthcare, min. wage, drug abuse etc to their preferred choice.
People really detest this man or profess to on social media. He is polarizing. But that some actually took the time to listen to an in-depth political conversation for 1hr+ w/an open mind - that is encouraging generally speaking. Open minds give good ideas room to flourish.
Not sharing the podcast to endorse any candidate or endorse Rogan or his show. I am however noting this podcast because it broke records for Rogan's program and some of the commentary on social media was enlightening. I see Warren voters giving room to Sanders platform...

House Judiciary Democrats are ramping up pressure on the White House and appear to be plotting a course toward an impeachment inquiry.
Lawmakers asked a fed. judge today to order Don McGahn, a central figure in Mueller’s investigation, to testify before Congress.
I will have more breaking this down in my story coming up soon for @CourthouseNews.
@CourthouseNews “The Judiciary Committee is now determining whether to recommend articles of impeachment against the President based on the obstructive conduct described by the special counsel," the complaint states.

1/ This poll is from yesterday at 8PM. The link to the full survey is below. What does it tell us?
a. That Biden is (still, see below) leading
b. That Warren, Bernie and Buttigieg are technically tied

cdn.cnn.com/cnn/2019/image…
c. That in 10 days, Biden has lost 10 points of advantage. That is A LOT in demographic terms. I don't have the number broken down by demographic variables.
realclearpolitics.com/epolls/latest_…
d. But Biden's loss of vote intentions is much smaller than Beto O'Rourke, who is now a minor player.
e. That the Buttigieg's rise is unexpectedly high.
f. That Warren is maintaining a leadership position with a slow and steady rise

Beto O’Rourke takes stage to Clash song “Clampdown.”

Big crowd standing in a street in El Paso. O’Rourke says he was born there. He says it represents America at its best; welcomes immigrants. Immigrants were called to contribute to success and they have.
O’Rourke praises El Paso’s Civil Rights and labor leaders.

He says it’s a safe city not despite immigrants but because of them.

He quotes MLK about a single garment of destiny.

He praises his teachers. He praises the business community.
“Not as a Democrat, not as a Republican, but as an El Pasoan.” - Beto O’Rourke on how he served on the City Council

He says as a Congressman he helped expand mental healthcare and turned around the VA.

The thing that's scary about #Beto isn't so much his policy, or lack of it, which is slightly upgraded neoliberalism or whatever the party wants. It's that he is so much like candidate Michael Dukakis, and Al Gore, and John Kerry, and John Edwards, and...

they all lost.
He was for it before he was against it. Eerily familiar problem.

Of course.
