Van Jones blames Hillary supporters.

Van Jones on CNN:

"It’s not the racist person in the KKK that we have to worry about.

It’s the white, liberal Hillary Clinton supporter walking her dog in central park"

This is going to motivate the hicks in the stix.

The looting and violence on the streets is just going to motivate those rust belt white folks to go out and vote for Trump.

Ryan Grim is deleting all his Tara Reade tweets.

He gave up his credibility, put his reputation on the line to be a 2020 partisan hack for Bernie Sanders. Now no one will hire him besides The Intercept where journalism goes to die.Chris Hayes and others will likely do the same or live in shame. They ran an UGLY campaign falsely accusing Biden of rape. This is why I will never vote for a candidate endorsed by rose twitter.

Progressives lost in Multnomah County! Holy shit!

Portland is one of the most progressive cities in the nation. Moderate Mayor Ted Wheeler wins primary, may avoid run off. Progressives fought hard for Sarah Iannarone but lost. Also, Moderate Mark Hass will beat Shamia Fagan for SOS.

Thanks Bernie! NOT!

The Senate was just one vote short of adopting an amendment that would have required a search warrant for the government to conduct secret surveillance of internet users’ search and web browsing data.

The vote 59-37 vote Wednesday, with 60 needed to adopt the amendment, was a defeat for privacy advocates.

The amendment to require warrants was sponsored by Republican Senator Steve Daines of Montana and Democrat Ron Wyden of Oregon. It would have limited the authority under Section 215 of the Patriot Act, which allowed the government to access a variety of records in national security investigations.

“The American people will not tolerate warrantless government spying,” Wyden said Wednesday on the Senate floor.

“If you want to see an American’s search history, then you better go to a judge and get a warrant,” Daines said.

Independent Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Democrat Patty Murray of Washington did not vote. Murray was flying back to Washington on Wednesday.
