Q for Bernie Sanders tonight: if your allies admit that Medicare-for-all probably won’t happen, why is it so important for all Democrats to agree on your single-payer vision?
Q for Joe Biden tonight: You’ve argued that the GOP will work with you to achieve shared goals. foxnews.com/media/joe-bide…

Given the GOP’s track record of working for a decade to kill Obamacare — a law you fought to pass — what evidence do you have that you’re right?

An eye-catching WaPo story about poor patients in Missouri being sued to pay their medical bills - and the rural hospitals struggling to stay open - completely ignores that Missouri rejected Medicaid expansion. washingtonpost.com/national/the-f…
The two previous stories in this WaPo series - on struggling rural patients and hospitals - also skipped over how each GOP-led state in the series has rejected Medicaid expansion.
It’s possible these are deliberate omissions - either to try and focus on people (over politics) or save for a “reveal” later in the series.

But it’s an odd disconnect. Would be like assigning a top writer to big series on struggling soybean farmers that ignores Trump’s tariffs.

Biden — speaking at fundraiser hosted by Seattle gay-rights leader — suggests that mocking “a gay waiter” was seen as OK just five years ago, leading to crowd objections, per pool report.
Biden’s host, Roger Nyhus, led public relations work for the state’s LGBT marriage equality bill… almost eight years ago. seattlemag.com/article/roger-…
Some more context: Here’s where Biden spoke tonight, on Pride weekend in Seattle.

I’m live-tweeting tonight’s #DemDebate in the replies to this thread.
How did some of these also-rans qualify for this debate when Cory Booker didn’t?
Bernie Sanders votes against literally everything, so he can brag about having voted against anything that doesn’t work out.

This is the thread translating the Democratic debate into language everyone can understand.
#DemDebate #YangAndTheWhiteGang
First of all, if he doesn't become President, Pete Buttigieg could get a job as a youth pastor at any white church in America.
How the hell is Amy Klobuchar onstage and not Cory Booker? Have you ever met a Klobuchar supporter?

And why does she always wear purple gabardine suits?

The swamp runs DEEP.
Sleeper[s] everywhere.
Think Coats.
Wheels in motion.
The Senate must be unrestricted to conduct 'other' important business.
If [D]s knew Senate would not vote to convict - why proceed?
How long does a typical Senate impeachment trial take?

#Democrats may appear to have no message, no platform & no viable candidate, but all of that is irrelevant. The Democrats ONLY quest is to destroy our President at any cost. And I do mean ANY. Getting #Hillary back in the White House was merely to give Democrats access again
2/ the government printing presses. America was to finance the entire NWO and the Elites along with it. The #DeepState is an elaborate cover used by BOTH sides of the political aisle. I find it highly ironic the DNC has been exposed, along with Joe Biden, his son, John Kerry and
3/ HIS son, as well as Nancy Pelosi & her son, as beneficiaries of countries like #Ukraine #China & #Iran We have heard stories of different companies funded handsomely in large part using TAXPAYER DOLLARS & at the behest of AMERICAN covert agencies: the CIA, the FBI & NSI;

A brief (?) thread on the future of health reform, inspired by the new KFF poll. This poll shows a lot of public support for Medicare for All -- but this is a great slogan that could mean different things 1/ kff.org/health-reform/…
To oversimplify a bit, M4A could mean either (a) replacing the existing system with mandatory govt insurance, obliging those with private insurance to switch, or (b) offering an option to buy into govt insurance, while providing subsidies that make all insurance affordable 2/
Everything we know suggests that (a) would be cheaper -- low administrative costs, more bargaining power over prices -- and more effective at covering everyone because people wouldn't have to choose a plan or pay premiums. But it would be a big change 3/
