@JulianCastro Hundreds of thousands of us who support and believe in Medicare For All were deeply disappointed when @KamalaHarris, who literally co-sponsored Bernie's Medicare For All plan, recently broke away and has now created a weird mash up that still keeps private insurers.
RT @shaunking: @JulianCastro Thank you so much to the brave protestors right now who are chanting FIRE PANTALEO. They are speaking of the horrible NYPD police officer who murdered Eric Garner in broad daylight and has since been protected by Bill de Blasio and the entire government.

@JulianCastro I actually think Trump would beat Joe Biden. For almost all of the same reasons that he beat Hillary Clinton. He does not energize young voters or a dozen different highly energized bases of support within the party. I would literally prefer 7 of tonight's opponents to him

Tonight I'll be watching and live-tweeting the Democratic debate. I predict, again, that @JulianCastro will outperform the other candidates. Also, the bar has been lowered for Biden. It shouldn't be. He's literally done this his whole adult life.

RT @BernieSanders: 54 years ago today, LBJ signed Medicare into law, guaranteeing health care to people 65 and older. At the time it was called "socialist" by opponents. Half a century later it is still incredibly popular. When we are in the White House, we will expand Medicare to ALL.
RT @UFCW: .@BernieSanders is right. Amazon paid $0 in taxes on over $10 billion in profits. All while the avg American pays $10,489 in taxes. Something needs to change. Our nation needs to start valuing hardworking people and make companies like Amazon pay their fair share. #DemDebate https://t.co/4WX3SPo7mH

RT @ErikaAndiola: Your administration IS IN POWER sir. You separated children like those you saw today from their parents. You still had the nerve to say that the people you saw were "treated well" right after they were yelling at reporters that they had been detained for over 40 days in cages. https://t.co/RuTAia8pO1
RT @AOC: When we opposed using public money & tax giveaways to build Amazon’s HQ2 in Queens, one of the prime concerns was driving up rents on working families. Looks like were right. Sadly, families are already feeling priced out in Arlington: https://t.co/XKRsylrd4B
RT @BernieSanders: Actually, my concern has to do with the fact that you had no problem getting bailed out by working Americans, while you've been picking on them by advocating for cutting Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. https://t.co/m7KN9ul7EP

RT @Baxter: With all that said, here is part one of my series, which explains this issue and how we got here. It features commentary from NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, Kobe Bryant and many others. I hope you’ll make time for it. https://t.co/YDG83QQnaZ
RT @Baxter: In the past two seasons, the number of NBA games lost to injury or illness surpassed 5,000 for the first time since the NBA stopped using the injured reserve list prior to the 2005-06 campaign. It's hard to draw a direct correlation, but some experts say that's not a fluke.
RT @Baxter: This issue has grown as basketball has become the most popular youth team sport in America, with more than 10 million boys and girls aged 6 to 17 playing it in 2017. How can such a large culture be overhauled? As an AAU official told me, “I don't know what can be done."
RT @Baxter: In short, youths are specializing in basketball and playing it all year long from ages as young as seven or earlier. By the time some reach the NBA, their bodies are simply worn down, many experts say. As one researcher told me, “Kids are broken by the time they get to college.”
RT @Baxter: Over a two-year period, I interviewed NBA team and league officials, current and former players, AAU coaches, parents, youth players, researchers, medical and athletic training officials. Many described a crisis and point to the same primary culprit: youth basketball.
RT @Baxter: This project began, in a way, in the 2014-15 season, when eight of the top 11 draft picks suffered serious injuries, many of them early in the season. An NBA athletic training official told me the injuries weren’t a fluke. He called many young players “ticking time bombs.”
RT @Baxter: Thread: Today, ESPN is publishing part one of my two-part series on the spike of NBA injuries and why experts are deeply concerned that young players today are physically breaking down at an alarming rate. “It is grave,” one NBA GM told me. https://t.co/YDG83QQnaZ
RT @theappeal: Paul Ebert, Commonwealth Attorney for Prince William County for 51 years, is retiring in November. He's obtained more death penalty convictions than any Virginia prosecutor and capital punishment is a key issue in the race that will decide his successor. https://t.co/v5yReSYQ7E
RT @BrooksEmanuel: Why do people plead guilty to things they didn't do? Here's a pretty compelling, and pretty common, reason: you're locked up for being poor and the prosecutor tells you they'll let you out if you plead guilty. Pretty simple. https://t.co/WaTfWpWxFJ
RT @MrMichaelLee: Great work from @Baxter. Reminds me of a conversation I once had with Andre Miller who told me the secret to his longevity & durability was he did absolutely nothing in the offseason. Just rested & planned to get back in shape at training camp. Body, mind & spirit need a break. https://t.co/NF6GIEvWKc

RT @repjohnlewis: Fifty-eight years ago this week, I was released from Mississippi State Penitentiary, also known as Parchman Farm, after being arrested at the bus station in Jackson, Mississippi for using a so-called "white" restroom during the Freedom Rides. #GoodTrouble https://t.co/tNaDu57nXC

RT @ESOP_STL: The St. Louis Police Officer’s Association (SLPOA) is a mess. Prior Chiefs allowed rampant corruption. They said nothing when two of their black officers were beaten and shot. Now there’s a black Chief and Circuit Attorney, and they bash them for holding officers accountable. https://t.co/Q7hhCMN1mK

But that’s not stopping him from heading to @Netroots_Nation this week where he’s positioning himself as a progressive champion leading the fight against @realDonaldTrump. Give me a break. https://t.co/iUSosdy79H

RT @dantbarry: You would think the fact that the police plant drugs to be in the possession of Black and Brown people in order to put us into prison would be from a movie but this ain’t no movie folks. This is frequent especially with communities devastated by every day gun violence. https://t.co/mEbcXTn8Uc

RT @nyclawgrrrl: #MeToo in NYC’s Jail System: Why new Department of Correction policies on sexual abuse fall short. “Investigations languish for months or even years and so are unlikely to result in objective and fair results. Memories fade, evidence is lost." https://t.co/HTB5C46yaj
