I'm sure he'd be fine with you even attributing it to him, a lot of people are sharing it. If you really want the name I'll message you.

All the big insurance companies are starting to pour money behind Blue Dog Democrats to ensure Medicare for All supporters aren't elected into congress with the blue wave pic.twitter.com/LCvyQL3rG5— Michael Sainato (@msainat1) March 25, 2018

The concept of “Medicare for All” has majority support in 42 states, according to the small liberal policy shop Data for Progress. Using numbers from the Kaiser Family Foundation, which tracks public opinion about health-care policy, a handful of researchers found that the concept of universal Medicare was popular in all but two states (Montana and West Virginia) where Democratic senators are seeking reelection this year.“We find that there are a number of states, such as New York, Illinois, Rhode Island and California, where there is majority support for Medicare for All but Democratic senators who have not signed on to S1804,” said Data for Progress’s Sean McElwee, giving the number for the Medicare legislation introduced by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

Randy Bryce (@IronStache) does a good job making the concise case for abolishing ICE: It's a new agency that spends a massive amount of money breaking up families and terrorizing children who haven't committed a crime.

Kucinich, who spent some of his time away from elected office serving as a Fox News contributor, is a rare politician who is now occupying that sweet spot where Sandersism meets elements of Trumpism.

i know i know 538, but i think this is at least a useful way of thinking about 2018 strategy, even if the individual views advanced are not useful. i'm not sure what the right answer is. don't focus on russia. focus on healthcare even though they "won" that battle. what else?
