The kid already made hamantaschen. Being part of this Jewish cooking tradition is making me remember my maternal grandmother, Edith Goodman. When I was young she lived in an apartment building in Southfield Michigan with my Grandpa Sam. 
1/
Edith use to play cards with her two lady friends in that apartment building. Goldie Adler and Evelyn Plesko. The game was called “spite and malice”. She taught me when I slept over. They played for money. Saved it so they could all go out to dinner together.

2/
Goldie was the widow of the rabbi who was shot by a “troubled youth” as my mom put it. She always had a jar of dill pickles at the ready in her apartment upstairs. Evelyn taught music at the synagogue. She wore lots of jewelry and smelled nice. Their memories are a blessing.

🧵 Q: Bernie supporters told me that a vote for Elizabeth is a vote for Biden. Is that true?

A: No. A vote for Elizabeth is a vote for Elizabeth. Bernie’s camp is reasonably worried that nobody will have a majority of delegates when they get to the convention this summer.

1/
There are rules in place that Bernie helped write in 2016. Under those rules, on the first vote at the convention, pledged delegates must vote according to our primaries. If nobody has a majority, then there will be a second vote. On the second vote, delegates can realign.

2/
It’s quite likely that neither Bernie nor Biden nor Warren will have a majority at the outset. So, all three of them will be viable and there will be some serious horse trading.

Here are the rules for you to read
