I've been thinking about @chrissyteigen all day — not normally something I'd say, but this is 2020.
Just over 8 years ago, I went home with no baby just like she did. 1/4

I'm getting kind of tired of doing this, but ... (A thread.)

Today, we learn the truth about Bernie Sanders, for better or for worse. We learn where his priorities lie and what he is or isn't willing to compromise.
After another night that shows the majority of the Democratic Party rallying behind Joe Biden, Sanders has two options. 1/
If Bernie's priority is the revolution, it will be full speed ahead, damn the torpedoes.
The Bernie Bros will have his back, and he will take this all the way to the convention — because he knows this is his final showdown and the clock is ticking toward high noon. 2/
