It is *really* bad that @PeteButtigieg worked for Loblaws. They were fixing prices illegally while he worked with them.

Loblaws had informants -- but none of them were @PeteButtigieg bnnbloomberg.ca/supreme-court-…
@PeteButtigieg Portends pretty badly for antitrust policy in a Butigieg Administration that @PeteButtigieg thinks it's fine to have worked on pricing for a price fixing company & that's not one of the McKinsey clients about whom he is currently squeamish.
@PeteButtigieg More: theglobeandmail.com/report-on-busi…
@PeteButtigieg This is a pretty amazing story -- leave it to McKinsey to find a corrupt Canadian client to bill (instruct?)! theglobeandmail.com/report-on-busi…
@PeteButtigieg Loblaw & the Weston family which owns it have been described to me by a close Canadian friend as occupying similar right wing terrain as the Walton family & WalMart occupy in the United States. Great client, Pete. canadianbusiness.com/lists-and-rank…
@PeteButtigieg Looks intriguing: rabble.ca/blogs/bloggers…
@PeteButtigieg tl;dr @PeteButtigieg admitted to specializing in "pricing" while consulting for Canadian corporation guilty of... price-fixing.

Again, during the time Pete worked with them on pricing... Loblaws fixed prices. Illegally. theatlantic.com/politics/archi… & theglobeandmail.com/report-on-busi

I am going to highlight a few grafs from the @revolvingdoorDC newsletter from April 1st. The context has only slightly changed. House Dems must take control of their destiny and open an impeachment inquiry.

Sign up here (it's free!): revolvingdoorproject.substack.com (1/4)
Unlike what quivering members of the Establishment think, an "impeachment inquiry" needn't lead to *any vote,* so the fact that the votes for impeachment are not yet secured is a pretty dumb counter-argument. (2/4)
An ongoing inquiry would allow Democrats to control the narrative and remind people of scandals and abuses of power long forgotten. An inquiry would allow Nadler and his Committee mates to weave seemingly disparate scandals into a cohesive narrative. (3/4)

HUGE ERROR in mega @nytimes story everyone is reading.

On the left, the NYT today: nytimes.com/2019/02/19/us/…

On the right, the NYT on 1/5/18: nytimes.com/2018/01/05/bus…

How is being the lawyer for *Deutsche Bank* consistent with being a "career prosecutor"????
"Longtime prosecutor" woulda been technically accurate, although obviously Deutsche Bank past should still be mentioned.

But "career prosecutor" does not track. (1/2)
Especially since he spent 5 years at Kirkland & Ellis, which maintains a unique pipeline to Trump Administration: projects.propublica.org/trump-town/org… (Kirkland was also a huge source for right wing agitation in 1990s, when both Ken Starr & Brett Kavanaugh were partners there)

Quoted in Morning Money about the odd decision of @JoeBiden to seek the counsel of Wall Street's savviest and most powerful political voice, Larry Fink, in considering whether to run for President. politico.com/newsletters/mo… by @morningmoneyben (1/2)
Not only does BlackRock recruit the most powerful former Democrats like they are 5 Star High School basketball players, they also de facto run Domestic policy at Treasury under Trump via Craig Phillips, bloomberg.com/news/articles/… (2/2)
I sorta don't think Larry Fink is a good adviser for "Middle Class Joe," or any candidate seeking to reclaim working class voters of any race or religion. But he might help you figure out a way to privatize Fannie & Freddie....

🚨 Breaking: #PeteButtigieg donated to an anti-LGBT marriage equality candidate per 2012 FEC filings.

Pete’s donation came at a crucial time in the fight for marriage equality.

🎥: #MayorPete-funded candidate Joe Donnelly reiterating his anti-equality position during a debate.
Per the FEC report, the “Donnelly for Indiana” campaign recorded a $409 donation on September 17, 2012 from #PeteButtigieg “Mayor” employed by the “City of South Bend.”

Joe Donnelly campaigned on anti-marriage equality even as the issue gained more support under President Obama.
#PeteButtigieg’s September 17, 2012 donation to an anti-marriage equality candidate needs to be seen in the context of the 2012 push for #MarriageEquality:

On May 9, 2012, Barack Obama told ABC News, “I think same sex couples should be able to get married.”

Really important research out today from @CBItweets on Labour’s renationalisation plans. cityam.com/labours-renati… Strikingly, it completely vindicates the similar exercise we did at @cpsthinktank - although their baseline figure for upfront cost of £196bn is even higher than ours.
@CBItweets @CPSThinkTank In fact, it’s really important to dig into this - even on a day when so much else is happening. Which means it’s time for a THREAD.
@CBItweets @CPSThinkTank Back in 2017, when I took over @cpsthinktank, we got endlessly frustrated by Labour’s refusal to provide any estimate of the cost of its promises on renationalisation. So we decided to have a stab ourselves. You can find the results here cps.org.uk/research/the-c…

I thought today would be a good day to do a quick primer on drug pricing in support of @petebuttigieg's Affordable Medicines for All.

Why are drugs so expensive? What are good and bad ways of making them less so?

(thread)
@PeteButtigieg U.S. companies are the leading producers of new drugs. Even companies headquartered abroad do most of their cutting-edge drug discovery in the U.S. So we play an outsize role in where new medicines come from.
@PeteButtigieg For every new drug that becomes available to patients, there are tons of candidates that don’t. Depending on the discovery method used, there can upwards of 10,000 failed drugs for every one that goes to market.

The Rise and Fall of #PeteButtigieg, a play in three acts (probably):
Act One: Who is this guy with a funny name? Mayor of Notre Dame? I mean South Bend? Well whatever there are like 40 candidates and I don't have time for another random white dude who thinks he ought to be president. Go run for governor or something dude.
Act Two: These quotes reveal an unusually keen mind. The James Joyce, the piano, the Norwegian. Rhodes Scholar? - What if he is the millennial genius that we've been waiting for. I like how he talks about packing the courts, as we need a theory of change as well as policy. +
