I talk to candidates all day, 7 days a week. I'm so sick of hearing from "progressives" who back Medicare-for-All but are afraid to say the words... or of Democrats who believe in the Green New Deal as much as I do but have been counseled to not use the term or to speak out about it too much.

SWAMP!We've been hearing about the "religious right" for decades. I'm sure you know there are also Christians who take Jesus and his message seriously. That would be the religious left. One of the leaders-- a progressive with zero affinity for Trumpism-- is John Pavloviz, who served as a pastor at at megachurch in Charlotte, NC, the Good Shepherd United Methodist Church.

If you watched the Democratic presidential debate on ABC last week, you probably saw the disgusting 30 second ad above. It was run by Elizabeth Heng, a 2018 Republican congressional candidate in California's Central Valley. The ABC-TV affiliate in Fresno explained the controversy for anyone who missed the debate or ad. ABC30 reporter Nathalie Granda:

Drug prices are too high for many reasons, but there is just one person blocking a fix: MoscowMitchI have to admit that Pelosi’s plan to lower drug costs is more progressive than I-- or anyone else-- expected.

I want to reference Tom's post from Thursday, a reminder of how the DNC's attorneys told a court that "We do not owe voters an impartial or evenhanded primary election."

Bustos and Casten-- Climate IncrementalistsCorporate Dems in Illinois really are spearheading the effort to keep the fossil fuel industry alive. New Dems, Blue Dogs and Vote-For-Sale Democrats are moving quickly to normalize false "solutions" to the climate crisis and to make them acceptable to the public.

Many people still don't understand what Medicare-- let alone Medicare-for-All-- actually means. But, despite a barrage of propaganda against it from the Sickness-Industrial Complex, Fox News, Hate Talk Radio and the Republican Party, it polls very well.

Whenever there's any kind of legislation put forward to help working families, you can always count on two things-- Republicans will vote NO and a certain number of reactionaries from the Republican wing of the Democratic Party will join them. In the forefront of that group of reactionaries is always Central Valley Blue Dog Jim Costa.

I saw an old friend the other day. She's for Biden; depressing for me. She bristled when I called the concentration camps concentration camps; depressing for her. Bummer all around.Wednesday night, while my friend and I were bumming each other out, a bill (H.R.
