Bernie is canceling his Iowa ad buy that was set to start Oct. 3rd.
I hope he is ok, that's sad to imagine him anything but fired up and yelling.

Oh no. I hope Bernie recovers well. The ad buy cancellation makes me go hmmmm. He's four years older and doesn't have the stamina for a long haul like last time. Especially not when there are so, so many strong candidates.

notblanche Agreed. The stress of campaigning has to take a toll on the body.

Pete tweeted a nice message to Bernie:
This is one of the reasons I love our crop of candidates. They seem like genuinely nice people, for the most part.
Or I'm just so jaded by the orange one that common decency seems novel.
One of the two.
ETA: Kamala and Biden have also tweeted.

And it feels like the stock market is plummeting today. The red carpet is being rolled out for a democratic slam dunk in 2020.

I think the Democrats have done a beautiful job in letting the president hang himself so he can’t point fingers anywhere else.

Can anyone speak to whether conservatives voters know what trump looks like on twitter and what their reaction to it is? Do they go on Twitter and see the spectacle or are most of them unaware simply because they don’t use twitter? Do baby boomers use Twitter?

My parents and MIL for sure do not go on Twitter and all voted for Trump. MIL is a lost cause to Fox News/The 700 Club (🤪) but my parents are more...Washington Examiner-type conservatives?

That's another conspiracy theory: That Democrats are only impeaching to mess up his strong economy so he can't run on that in 2020 which is just..... Big Business for the most part hasn't been happy with Trump since Day 1 IMO - they like stability and he's nothing like it. The debacle of the advisory councils falling apart was actually kind of shocking, viewed historically. Everyone has been waiting for this economy to start contracting - even my 401k advisors were pointing that out a few years ago. That said, I'm really hesitant to be gleeful, because this is truly a tragic period in our history. And, again to be an outlier, I don't think there's any slam dunk here. I truly get why the Speaker was so hesitant to push on impeachment, and I think she finally moved based on loyalty to country over partisanship. I think she wanted the electorate to remove Trump from office. Do people here think it would be easy to run against a President Pence? I don't like him either, but I think it might be difficult for a Democratic far progressive to run effectively against him. I do hope Bernie Sanders has a full recovery - but admit I'd rather see him back in the Senate bringing up ideas for consideration than running for President.

I can’t remember who was following the twitter emergency that Caroline Orr had at the airport, but here is an update on her. Sounds like she is getting help and is safe which is good.

I'm telling you, I think all the Dem nominees should be getting out to rural areas and speaking with farmers, small businesses, etc. Not only because it's the right thing to do, but it might also get votes as a side benefit.

She got 10 years. Not nearly enough but better than the reduced sentencing the defense was going for. I hope Botham Jean's family can find some peace with this.

Hmmm...this doesn’t seem great. I know I've said it before but it is not looking good for small dairy farms. In the last month we have two different farms join into one because neither of them can stay afloat without the other. And if things stay the way they are, I don't know how long they can hold on without either merging with a bigger farm or close completely. The feed prices for cattle has gone up so much. About a week ago I was entering an invoice (A/P & A/R processor at a small town Co-op) and was shocked at the wholesale price of a certain type of feed. I went back about 14 months, when I started, and looked at an invoice for the price difference. It was shocking. I'm talking about a 48% increase on only one type of feed in less than a year and a half.

That is really dramatic. How awful for small farms.
