After nearly 5 decades in politics, suddenly one of the most conservative Democrats in the Senate is trying to "look" vaguely progressive. Status Quo Joe, once fought against Elizabeth Warren's bankruptcy proposals now says he backs them. Friday, at a small town hall in Illinois he said "I’ve endorsed Elizabeth Warren’s bankruptcy proposal, which... allows for student debt to be relieved in bankruptcy and provides for a whole range of other issues." I don't believe him. I believe his record.

On Friday night, Ryan Grim broke a fascinating piece of news. It isn't news to anyone who's been reading DWT for the last 12 months that Elizabeth Warren was the most likely Bernie running mate, despite two campaign staffs that are hostile to each other.
