I WAS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND CAN CONFIRM THAT EVERYTHING CHUCK TODD SAYS IS COMPLETELY STUPID

Written by CHRIS FARAONE Posted February 12, 2020 Filed Under: COLUMNS, Dear Reader, NEWS+OPINIONS

My point is to draw a comparison between the horse-race repetition and robotic uniformity of the kind of trash commercial bigs, from putrid right-wing radio to elitist broadsheets like the Post, reported out of New Hampshire this week, and the unique features that our squad produced.

NUCLEAR DECISIONS: THE ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES DON’T ALL AGREE ON

Written by ERIN NOLAN Posted February 11, 2020 Filed Under: News, NEWS+OPINIONS

“Right now, we just don’t know what to do with nuclear waste. It lasts 100,000 years ... It’s shockingly toxic. We’re going to have to figure out what to do with that waste for sure. I mean, 100,000 years."

A DISABLED REPORTER WALKS INTO A DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY EVENT… 

Written by LAURA KIESEL Posted February 11, 2020 Filed Under: FEATURES, News, NEWS+OPINIONS

I attended three carefully chosen events with three separate candidates over the course of 24 hours: Pete Buttigieg, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders. All three candidates stood out for me because they have been more actively courting the disability vote, as compared to their peers in the candidate pool.

Written by JORDAN FRIAS Posted February 11, 2020 Filed Under: News, NEWS+OPINIONS

“I know his polling numbers are low. My hope is as time goes on he’s able to build some momentum and potentially be a viable candidate."

SMALL BUT LOUD: THE GRANITE STATE’S RELIGIOUS LEFT REMINDS YOU TO VOTE

Written by CLAIRE SADAR Posted February 11, 2020 Filed Under: News, NEWS+OPINIONS

“The biggest misconception about progressive people of faith is that not wearing religion on your sleeve means it’s not important to you. Westboro Baptist Church’s faith is not more real because they scream the loudest about it."

BIG CHILL: A YAWN OF A CENTENNIAL, DINNER WITH MICHAEL J. FOX, AND THE MICHAEL BENNET PRIMARY TEST

Written by DAN MCCARTHY Posted February 10, 2020 Filed Under: News, NEWS+OPINIONS

“I’ve read and listened to so much stuff from the architects of the New Green Deal,” Jay said. “The number one thing I’d want Michael Bennet to say to someone like me is how his plan would be different [than Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’] plan.”

AS CLASS DIVIDES BUTTIGIEG AND SANDERS SUPPORTERS, MAYOR PETE AIMS TO WIN OVER SUBURBAN VOTERS

Written by MARK GRUETER Posted February 10, 2020 Filed Under: News, NEWS+OPINIONS

In these relatively affluent towns, voters are less inclined to care if Pete has 40 billionaires, as Sanders noted in Friday’s debate at Saint Anselm College, contributing to his campaign.

GIG DEAL: WHEN IT COMES TO UNCONVENTIONAL JOBS, ONLY ONE CANDIDATE (ALMOST) GETS IT

Written by ARIELA SHAPIRO Posted February 10, 2020 Filed Under: News, NEWS+OPINIONS

This year, workers’ rights, the economy, and wealth distribution are focal points in the campaigns of progressive Democratic candidates, particularly US senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, and businessman Andrew Yang. But do the candidates have a clear policy for government reform that integrates the new nature of business and protects gig workers?
