Who is a woman journalist who whenever you see their byline, you know you are going to learn something? Bonus points if you list what they cover.
I'd be remiss if I didn't list some of mine

Also gotta include @claremalone @mollyesque @emmaroller @wpjenna (who had some of the best early dispatches on Trump and took him more seriously than others) @elainaplott @lyzl (though she covers a lot more).
I don't know what to classify @ashleyfeinberg as but because of her, I have no burner accounts.

It is well known that Klobuchar despised Buttigieg. But this is I think the second thread from a former Warren staffer unloading on Buttigieg (he pivoted to the center and started hitting her on health care in October, which is when she started to decline).
One thing I have learned over the years is that oftentimes, campaigns take on the traits of the candidate. Warren is unfailingly polite and her staff reflected that. But that doesn’t mean that they can’t throw a punch when they want (see Warren hitting Bloomberg)
So looking at this, it looks like you could at least say Buttigieg was supportive of Medicare for All who want it for a while. Buttigieg did pivot came from selling himself as more leftist to being more in the moderate lane when he started attacking Warren.

Compared to Warren, Harris, Castro and Buttigieg's plans, which were widely praised, I've seen plenty of criticism from the disability community of Klobuchar's plan. @JustStimming is a major authority on this.
@JustStimming There are a number of reasons why you see Democratic candidates courting disability rights activists and releasing policies when it wasn't a big deal even last cycle.
@JustStimming For one, there is a competitive primary. Last cycle, Hillary Clinton released a pretty comprehensive Autism policy. Sanders conversely, had little to no disability policy of which to speak and his Medicare for All Plan caught the ire of some.

You can’t make this up. I am at the Climate crisis rally to cover the rally with @GretaThunberg, probably the most famous #ActuallyAutistic person, and this dude outside has a sign about vaccines and autism.
Update. One person in my mentions noticed that the person was most likely a woman. I didn’t look carefully enough. My bad
Ok, caught up with this woman with the anti-vaccine sign. She gave me the same spiel you get from anti-vaxxers. She said autism used to be 1 in 10,000. She said she only had one vaccine growing up. It said vaccines didn't reduce disease. It was quality of living.
