lmao is she doing this
How many times do I have to say it's "Warren you guys."
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren's unofficial campaign slogan is "she's got a plan for that." The reality is, she has just one.
She wants to finish what she started when she first came to Washington. And she will bring with her a cadre of energetic, ideologically committed regulators who will go after the bad guys of corporate America who she believes have crippled the national economy.
If Warren wins the presidency, she, like any Democrat, will face steep odds of getting an ambitious legislative agenda through Congress. The real action in any administration is executive in nature: knowing what regulatory buttons to push, which enforcers can really go for blood, who to put where, and how to manage them.
It's a job Warren's done before, when she was charged with building the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau from scratch.
I spoke with 30 current and former government officials and employees, lobbyists, industry insiders, consumer advocates, and members of Warren's inner circle to understand who Warren really is, not only as a policymaker but also as an executive, a decisionmaker, and a leader. Her supporters and detractors describe her as ruthlessly committed to her ideals — and ruthlessly effective at making them real.
Warren staffed the bureau with academics, policy wonks, and industry insiders, and while she had a clear vision for the agency, she also valued data and empirical evidence. She was a lightning rod atop a lightning rod, and she knew it.
"She is laser-fucking-focused on what is happening to working families who need help," said one former CFPB staffer. Perhaps too laser-focused to end up running the agency she created — she sometimes didn't see the political attacks coming until it was too late.
A president's most potent capabilities lie in leveraging the bully pulpit, pulling administrative levers, and tapping executive regulators and enforcers. These are skills at which Warren is adept, and that could make her especially effective as president. Warren projects a moral clarity rivaling that of Sen. Bernie Sanders, and she has the know-how to try to implement her vision. From the Oval Office, she could reshape the Democratic Party from the inside out. Maybe even in ways the party is not ready for.
"How many other candidates have this proven record of actual execution and leadership and management?" said Elizabeth Vale, a longtime adviser to Warren.
While she's previously played the good soldier and pushed others to advance her agenda, she appears to have determined that if she wants this done right she has to do it herself.
"I don't think she's willing to wait anymore," one Warren ally said. "She has learned that it is better to take whatever power and resources you have and use them all at once because you're never going to get another shot."
I hope she gets wrecked.
Yuuuup. The timing from the Iowa journalists on this was impeccable.
Anyone feel like Trump's been a bit more able and cogent in the last week or so? Doesn't even seem shook about the whistleblower thing.
Kirblar and others in Virginia, did you get a check for $110 to $220 recently from the state? Seems like it's their response to the tax bill.
I just hope it permanently sticks as opposed to for a month or two and then forgotten.
Why the fuck did they invite rubes like Sestak and Williamson?Biden was just before Booker. This is seemingly the order: Williamson, Sestak, Biden, Booker, Gabbard, Harris, Buttigieg, Klobuchar, Warren, and Castro.
What she's also going to be saying to her campaign soon hopefully.
His "Jersey" issues aside...Corey Booker is so damn good in this format.
I'm sure she's afraid of catching the queer.
If it quacks like a cultist....Who spends there time typing into live YouTube chats.
Also Tulsi sounds like she hates the gays but is being forced to read a script
Media will focus on the Biden stuff. Trump successfully got the story in the media.
I've been pretty reluctant to join the "pelosi wut is u doiiiing" chorus but things need to get moving fast.
My tongue clicked, sis.I hate when straight people call themselves allies. You don't get to do that. We'll let you know when we're interested. Thanks.
