--
Fundraising numbers are in and Bernie Sanders has broken records. Mayor Pete raised a lot of money with billionaires but wants to convince you that he has a grassroots campaign. Elizabeth Warren has fallen behind but still posts impressive numbers.
--
A video of Joe Biden taken out of context has gone viral and now everyone is apologizing for it. At least the Left is willing to correct itself. Unfortunately, this places us all at a major disadvantage when dealing with Right-wingers who have no regard for the truth.
--
Fires in Australia highlight the impending climate disasters. Meanwhile, a new UN report shows that we can buy ourselves 20 years with just $300 billion. That's just the net worth of Bezos, Gates, and Buffet combined -- so it's not really that much. But odds are, the world will end before we tax the rich sufficiently.
--
Finally, compare Joe Biden's track record on economic policy to that of Bernie Sanders. Biden was groomed in Ronald Reagan's trickle-down, neoliberal economic theory. Sanders has been calling out the resulting concentrated wealth that those theories create for at least 33 years.
