Elizabeth Warren turns down Fox News town hall, explains why. [thread] I love that she explicitly called Fox News "hate-for-profit" and racist, too. No mincing words. Love her. |

From Emily's List We've joined over 20 other organizations to ask that 50% of presidential town hall and debate moderators are women and 50% are people of color. We support a balanced approach that asks all candidates about women's issues. Read the full letter
UltraViolet Action was the author of the letter.

So much respect for Warren. She is 100% correct. Fox News is the absolute worst.

Kamala Harris here in NH: “I think Joe Biden would be a great runningmate. As vice president he’s shown he can do the job.”

Right? Like I’m clutching my pearls thinking about how if a woman dares to admit she made a mistake right out of the gates of her campaign...whoa...she’d be canceled so fast. |

So on that note, when do you think people will start dropping out? I thought Marianne Williamson definitely would be gone, but apparently she will be on the first debate stage. 🙄

Let's start there to shorten the list. |

Kaine, Schatz and MObana are not going to run I dont think Gates or Oprah will either.
That was just the other names that have been floated.
Like I think at some point, we need to say. Look you have PLENTY OF CHOICES, stop.
Kind of like when i'm naming off things for lunch for my child.
pbj ham pasta eggs salad
No you can not have cake.

The Brennan Center published a collection of essays and proposals on criminal justice reform from both sides of the aisle.
Several of the 2020 Dems contributed.
