YES!!!! Bernie Sanders Joins Obama's Call To Abolish The Filibuster!!!

THANK YOU!!! x President Obama is absolutely right. It is an outrage that modern-day poll taxes, gerrymandering, I.D. requirements, and other forms of voter suppression still exist today. If expanding the Voting Rights Act requires us to eliminate the filibuster, then that is what we must do. https://t.co/4pLb1rZCSjÃ¢Â€Â Bernie Sanders...

The Economist, “Joe Biden has a good chance of becoming a surprisingly activist president”

The Economist has a great piece out about former Vice President Joe Biden’s presidential candidate.

North Korea blows up inter-Korean liaison office building. The Trump Bromance is over

North Korea blew up an inter-Korean liaison office building just north of the heavily armed border with South Korea, which may be more for domestic consumption, but also signifies the impotence of US-DPRK diplomacy. Easier to develop disinformation blaming South Korea and the US than the PRC. Trump’s incompetence continues as in the aggregate, any diplomacy with the DPRK...

As many of you know, the filibuster has been the top issue for me in the 2020 Democratic Primary.
