How Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders joined forces to craft a bold, progressive agenda
Where Biden and Sanders’s policy-focused task forces go from here.
A “unity” task force created by Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders has released a detailed set of policy recommendations for an incoming Biden administration, if he wins the November election.
The administration it imagines — while not so progressive that it would embraceplans like Medicare-for-all or a jobs guarantee — would push for one of the largest public sector investments in decades. On Wednesday night, a senior campaign aide described Biden’s forthcoming economic plan as the “largest mobilization of public investments in procurement, infrastructure and since World War II.”
It’s also a sign of Biden’s success in his ongoing push to unite the party: Numerous progressives on the task force chosen by Sanders told Vox they were happy with the mark they made on the final product.
The final report weighs in at over 100 pages, covering six key domestic policy areas: health care, the economy, climate change, criminal justice, education, and immigration.
Perhaps one of the most ambitious goals in the report, released Wednesday, is its commitment to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, plus more immediate benchmarks on climate — including a national goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions for all new buildings by 2030, and eliminating carbon pollution from power plants by 2035.

Instead of wasting trillions of dollars on counterproductive regime change wars that don’t solve the problem and cause terrorist groups to proliferate, we should use that money and resources TO HELP THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. We need that peace dividend to provide adequate medical care for all, high quality education for all, affordable housing for all, a living wage, adequate food for all, clean water, clean air, and rebuild our crumbling infrastructure that gets a grade of D- #humanrights #peace #peacedividend #healthcare #healthcareisahumanright #medicareforall #affordablehousing #cleanwater #cleanair #greennewdeal #peaceeconomy #endthewars #endregimechangewars #tulsi #tulsigabbard #tulsi2020 #givepeaceachance #peacenotwar #americansfirst #endhunger #endhomelessness #education #educationforall #college #collegeforall #freeeducation #progressiveagenda @tulsigabbard https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw4jMp6HvwA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cqrfthk7vsd

'Just sad': Ted Cruz perfectly SCHOOLS Harvard chair on America's founding (bonus Elon Musk SLAM)

'Just sad': Ted Cruz perfectly SCHOOLS Harvard chair on America's founding (bonus Elon Musk SLAM)
From a tenured chair at Harvard … we can’t make this up.
The USA, created by int'l community in Treaty of Paris in 1783, betrays int'l community by withdrawing from #parisclimateagreement today
— Joyce E. Chaplin (@JoyceChaplin1) June 1, 2017
Sorry but this is PROOF of what is truly wrong with America today. People like this woman educating young people and deliberately misleading them to support her progressiveagenda. Grade school kids know how the country was founded, how can Joyce not?
Ted Cruz was more than happy to remind the Harvard chair about actual history:
Just sad. Tenured chair at Harvard, doesn't seem to know how USA was created. Not a treaty. Declaration+Revolutionary War+Constitution=USA. https://t.co/tQALvjdkTs

The seat of power: Four open districts in Dane County offer chance to push progressive policies
Democratic Rep. Melissa Sargent is looking to succeed Sen. Mark Miller in the 16th Senate District after serving in the Assembly for eight years. Fred Risser was first elected to represent a Madison district in the Wisconsin Legislature in 1956, the same year Dwight Eisenhower beat Adlai Stevenson for his second term in the White House and Elvis Presley topped the charts with “Heartbreak Hotel.” Risser served in the Assembly for five years before winning his state Senate seat in 1962.
“I didn’t intend to necessarily be in the Legislature all my adult life but time went by from election to election and I kept being active and now in retrospect, that’s the situation,” said 93-year-old Risser, who’s retiring this year as the longest serving lawmaker in state and national history.
“I just feel like I’ve done my best to represent the people of this community and they’ve been very good to me and I’m honored that they kept returning me to the job.”
Risser’s tenure is an extreme example, but Madison Democrats elected to statehouse seats generally hold them for as long as they’d like. Currently, Republican challengers are few and rarely formidable in one of Wisconsin’s Democratic strongholds. It’s not common to see a single open legislative seat on the ballot in Madison.
But in the Madison area this election cycle, there are four.
In addition to the one being vacated by Risser, another held by fellow longtime Sen. Mark Miller is also available. A third will be left open by Rep.

Former Senator (D-ND)
Amanda Terkel
HuffPost(Moderator)
As Democrats choose a candidate to run against President Trump in 2020, one key question has shaped the primary: should the Democratic Party embrace policies like Medicare for All and a Green New Deal, or should it stay near the ideological center? Can a more progressive agenda win the Electoral College, or is courting swing voters in the middle really the only way to get to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.?
Join the IOP for a friendly debate on the future of the Democratic Party, featuring IOP Pritzker Fellow Abdul El-Sayed and former Senator Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND). This conversation will be moderated by Amanda Terkel, Washington Bureau Chief for HuffPost.

The New Deal was like a revolution. Bernie Sanders wants to institute changes that are like a revolution. He’s all in on things we need and will benefit from. Do you want all in or someone who is only pandering for votes? #berniesanders2020🇺🇸 #itstheplatform #progressive #bold #progressiveagenda #sincerity https://www.instagram.com/p/B1fQhOPohg0JU8Nn9WUlBWgHcuRIjsraqlxhV40/?igshid=1s0u907b1mwtt

Once again Bunny nails it. The Bernie smear campaigns were out in force then and are out in force now. You’re gonna hear him called Sexist, Anti Semitic, Misogynistic and more. But where are the receipts? Take into account who is saying it and why they might be. Mainstream Democrats, the Pelosi style politician are terrified of a Sanders Presidency because his views are revolutionary. He’s gonna shake things up not give you more of the same. He wants Citizens United overturned. He wants normal people to have a real voice. Does anyone believe CNN or MSNBC really want that? I won’t even mention the Right because that’s too obvious. Yes Bernie comes from a rural state where more people have guns. But is he really Pro Gun in 2019? If you care at all about your country then you should care about the facts. It’s too easy to have your narrative fed to you then just repeat it. It’s just like the blind followers of Trump who think he can do no wrong. #berniesanders2020🇺🇸 #theplatform #progressiveagenda https://www.instagram.com/p/B1dotdWIfHvH0Zxy9ldVnuXvvSe0Ivg1IgJT1M0/?igshid=12aabjlcdqb0r

This is who the right wing has chosen to demonize. This is who the right wing has chosen as public enemy #1. Can't they afford mirrors? The people they prop up and act like are the second coming, well, do I even need to finish this sentence? #AOC #socialdemocrats #progressiveagenda #lookingtowardsthefuturenotthepast #republicanhypocrisy https://www.instagram.com/p/B0ialHBnJRl0O9Y83B1vB8IV2ahbQZo3yhfFBU0/?igshid=2wncl6xdxit1

Why is she a national treasure? Because she doesn’t give a fuck. You see Nancy Pelosi pointing out this kind of stuff? Nope. I’ve had it with the mainstream. Progressives are the future. That is if the future holds promise. I want to believe it does. #progressiveagenda #aoc #dumptrump💩 https://www.instagram.com/p/B0HbFn7oKZXou4KiVB1Cs9mDTyQGNd2NfZAguQ0/?igshid=6j60k3uvnh80

Who could disagree with any of this? What on earth is radical about it, if people on the right weren’t so busy protecting billionaires, the NRA and the social backwardness of Evangelicals they might understand that what she is proposing will make ALL OUR LIVES better. Why would anyone question having a better life? WTF #progressiveagenda https://www.instagram.com/p/B0ER-Spo1qnUQZcc4ryAgyEcwB6jHeQDIPgWtA0/?igshid=iqzx2llpchv

Don’t believe the mainstream media’s false narratives. Americans can have nice things. Americans can have progress but only if they vote for it. The advances of Progressives have always been fought over by Conservatives. But we are the majority not them. 70% of Americans have stated they don’t care if the President is gay. We already voted in a half African American President twice. Yes we can. Social Democracy is the future. Don’t be afraid of it. Read up on what they actually believe. #FDR #socialdemocracy #progressiveagenda #humanrights #equalityact #commonsense https://www.instagram.com/expatmichael/p/BxMTLL5AjgYtRcmJ0gckgAP_qy629U-NJr9y0k0/?igshid=1g9bh0mbwca5

For your information Bernie Sanders is no dummy. He’s got the receipts. He’s done his due diligence. Beware those who are cheap substitutes. #berniesanders2020🇺🇸 #progressiveagenda #hopeforthefuture✨ https://www.instagram.com/expatmichael/p/BvhvRs5At38vTe5DQm17E8Pd347DhklrzR9keE0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1noqj2v4ftu3v
