The New Hampshire Senate race is projected to be stalemate to the bitter end, with Democrats and Republicans searching for any advantage over each other’s widely popular and respected candidates to break open the contest.

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders alluded to possible vice presidential picks Tuesday, even floating liberal darling Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren as a potential running mate.

Absolutely and unbelievably irresponsible.

Warren needs to stay in the Senate.

Bernie needs to sit down and -unless he is going to be honorable enough to steer his supporters back to the party he supposedly is suddenly a member of- or shut the fuck already.

Philadelphia police are investigating whether a rivalry between two gangs led to a pair of deadly shootings in the city’s Cedarbrook section.

Gangs? Sort of a weird for gang violence to center around elected officials, no?

What a shit show…

What a fucking cunt for politicizing bullying and trying to convict Hillary for the sins of her husband. An absolutely skuzzy, used cunt-rag, trashy little bitch. Hope her karma bites her in the ass real public like.

Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said he is “deeply troubled” by the irregularities.

good.

What Sanders decides about the future course of his campaign could be crucial to how quickly the party comes together after what has become an increasingly fractious nominating battle, something the Clinton forces are keenly aware of. Sanders’s recent attacks on Clinton have alarmed her supporters. They are now listening closely for a change in his rhetoric — as there was in Clinton’s at roughly the same point in 2008 in her contest against then-Sen. Barack Obama.

In an historic first, U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts used sign language from the Supreme Court bench on Tuesday as he welcomed a dozen deaf and hard-of-hearing lawyers who took part in a ceremony authorizing them to argue cases before the court.

Bernie Sanders has run a surprisingly effective presidential campaign. But Bernie Sanders is not going to win the Democratic nomination. Sanders performs especially well in caucuses, in heavily white states, and in open primaries. He performs badly in racially diverse states and primaries that only allow registered Democrats to vote. Of the 1,400 remaining delegates to be voted on, just 14 (1 percent) will be chosen by caucus.

Yes, it’s not purely democratic. That’s for the best.

Bernie Sanders isn’t leading a new movement, and he doesn’t represent the dawning of liberal ideology. To the extent that there is a movement at all, it is simply a movement to get Sanders elected president. Nothing more and nothing less. This is a classic insurgency, updated for 2016. But that doesn’t mean it’s insignificant. This year, the insurgency is larger than it’s ever been, and that in itself is an opportunity. A chance for the insurgents to play the long game, to co-opt the institutions that have held them back and to emerge as the leaders of a new Democratic Party. Sanders may not be the Democratic nominee, or the president of the United States, but if his supporters take the opportunity, they’ll accomplish what past insurgent candidacies couldn’t, and he’ll stand as a key figure in the origin story of a new, new left.

There is no Bernie Sanders movement.

Democratic voters are looking for a candidate to bring about needed change and think Clinton is the best to do it, a new CBS News/ New York Times poll shows

hmmmm

I concluded that the fact that Sanders only got three bills through Congress (two of which were for naming post offices) wasn’t the only meaningful measure, so I looked at the legislation he introduced during his senate career. It turns out that, every year, year after year, he introduced the same legislation to make a point, and no one else ever seems to have signed on to it. To me, this looked like showmanship rather than governance — an exercise designed to highlight his own support for a very progressive agenda.

...I concluded that Sanders was less interested in actually accomplishing anything than he was in staging protests where he could claim some kind of moral high ground, not interested in getting in the weeds and doing anything to actually achieve his goals within the Congress he worked in.This research put Sanders’ supposedly pristine progressive agenda in perspective: it is very easy to maintain that agenda if you never make the hard choices necessary to get things done.
