NEW HAMPSHIRE VOTES: It's Primary Day! After muddy results from the Iowa Caucus, this could be the first clear victory for a Democratic contender. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
24 pledged delegates are up for grabs in the race to pick up the 1,990 needed to win the nomination. After Iowa, Pete Buttigieg leads by just one delegate.
Sen. Bernie Sanders hopes a repeat of his decisive NH victory in 2016 will push him ahead. Meanwhile, Republicans are choosing between Pres. Trump, who once called the Granite State a 'drug-infested den,' and the former governor of neighboring Massachusetts, Bill Weld.

DEFENDING TRUMP'S BUDGET: Treasury Sec. Steven Mnuchin is testifying about Pres. Trump's 2021 budget before a Senate committee. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
Trump's plan calls for extending his individual tax cuts, which overwhelmingly benefit the wealthy, at a cost of $1.4 trillion.
Meanwhile, the budget would cut safety net programs like Medicaid and food stamps by $292 billion, cut spending on student loan forgiveness by $170 billion, and cut the Education Dept. and the EPA by 8% and 27%, respectively.

NEW CHANCE FOR EQUAL RIGHTS: Speaker Pelosi and Dem lawmakers are speaking out for the Equal Rights Amendment, or ERA. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
The ERA is a constitutional amendment to ban discrimination based on sex. It's been in the works for nearly 50 years. The deadline to ratify it expired in 1982 when only 35 of the 38 necessary states had passed it.
Now that Virginia has become the 38th state, Pelosi and others are trying to extend the deadline. The ERA would provide a legal defense against a potential rollback of Roe v. Wade, as well as guarantee a federal judicial standard for sex discrimination cases.

SENATORS GRILL FED CHAIR: Fed Chair Jerome Powell makes his semi-annual report to the Senate Banking Committee. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
While the Fed is supposed to be free from political pressure, Pres. Trump has routinely publicly insulted Powell and tried to bully him into lowering interest rates to 'ZERO or less.'
The U.S. has never cut interest rates below zero. Lower interest rates can help stock market investors, but they hurt families trying to build up savings in bank accounts.

New Hampshire votes today, so while you wait for tonight’s results, check out my analysis of what I saw after nearly a week in the Granite State. Bernie is running a strong campaign, Biden falters, and if Warren was a man, this would all be over already. salon.com/2020/02/11/pri…
First of all, I doubt anyone "wins" New Hampshire, as in takes home more than half the votes. But Bernie's strong base means he may be able to dominate a split field long enough to get the nomination. The big concern is that he may not be building on that base.
Second, if Warren was a man, this would be over already. In person, it's even more obvious how much stronger a candidate she is than everyone else, and people love her. But they've talked themselves out of voting for a woman.

I knew it! After the Iowa debacle, Democrats want to change the order of states.

Before the Iowa caucuses, Democrat media outlets were griping about Iowa being first and insinuating Iowa was “too white and rural.”
November - Julian Castro said Iowa and New Hampshire didn’t reflect the Democrat party.

January 29, The Atlantic - “Iowa has white privilege and should t be first.”

Depressed Democrat Turnout: The Iowa Story that Matters americanthinker.com/articles/2020/…
When given the first opportunity to turn out and vote for a candidate to oppose President Donald Trump, Democrats largely shrugged and said, "Meh." Turnout was down almost 30% from 2008.
This is by far the most important story out of this primary, and why it will be largely blacked out by the media.
Democrats clearly expected a greater show of voter force when they were given the chance to do something other than howl their Trump derangement rage at the moon.

THREAD @Dr_ColetteDavis: What happens at the #Iowa #caucus?The caucus is a mystery wrapped in an enigma, yet I wld argue that it asserts the very best of democracy. It may not work in other places, but in #Iowa, it is a Beautiful Thing. #IowaCaucus
Allow me to explain. On a cold Jan night, Iowans leave their homes & go to the high school, community center, small school house, or even a home. When I lived in Iowa City (for 12 years and three election cycles), we caucased (yes, that’s a verb) at the nearby high school.

.@twitter You don't need to delete inactive accounts to maintain #Twitter's integrity. Here's my idea; please scroll through this thread to know about it. @twittersupport @jack @delbius @vijaya @kayvz
You divide Twitter into an old sector on "1.twitter.com" and put all things we have now over there and a new sector at 2.twitter.com.
Handle pools would start afresh on 2.twitter.com while all users would be checked for activity by having them completing a prompt to switch over to the new sector along with their username & content,
