Warren on the stump is way more … well, pleasant, than Warren in debate. Presents a coherent, unified case. Tells a moving story. Leaves you with a good idea of who she is & what she'll do. I don't buy it, and she's still too Nader-serious, but it's much more complete than Amy. pic.twitter.com/B6eorz7yBF

Judging from the 2 Democratic candidate rallies I saw tonight, Democrats are really fired up to get rid of …Mitch McConnell.
Applause lines about getting rid of Trump don't get nearly as much reaction.

"[W]age growth has been greater for workers than for managers"–finally, after "decades of stagnation."
Can't have that! Cue Mulvaney.
Wouldn't be a lot of mourning if Mulvaney were fired. https://t.co/iAmImuEv98

What @NickKristof won't tell you: "Deaths of Despair" FELL in 2018 — under Trump — for what looks like the first time since 2000. Driven by a drop in drug-related deaths, which seems to have continued into 2019. (Still at a high level, but have to start somewhere–see chart.) https://t.co/6a8V23jjNw

It's out in the open now. Veteran immigration sellout Mulvaney has always thought this. Will Trump betray his election promises in his first term's final lap? https://t.co/NKRqbbZM14

ORCA III: Don't understand the affinity of election officials for untested software, apps, iPads, etc. After Iowa, you'd think they'd move to ink on paper. Put in car, drive to central office. Hard enough to count 1st and 2d votes, no? https://t.co/dWnlEzjG8g

Just what America's least-paid workers need: "[E]xpand guest worker programs, including creating a visa for less-skilled workers to do year-round nonfarm work." https://t.co/VS0FpPsmE7

Yikes. Trump's in a stronger position than 2 years ago, because he's managed to wrangle money for the wall. So why does he seem to be about to give away a big guestworker increase (and amnesty) in exchange for …. what? https://t.co/VS0FpPsmE7

Bloomberg was a little like the new kid who tried to sit at the table with the mean kids in the cafeteria. They may hate each other but they will pile on the new kid to chase him away.

Tried to avoid the term "vision thing" when writing this https://t.co/umk3iVDihD But yes. Trickier to come up with it than in the past because we've lost confidence in the future.
But it ain't a "management" problem. https://t.co/bkbnLBj2iC
