Among the findings of POLITICO’s examination of Our Revolution, based on interviews with two dozen sources inside and outside the organization:

• Board members and Sanders presidential delegates from 2016 have raised questions about whether the group’s president, Nina Turner, is using her position to prepare for a presidential run of her own, and to settle scores with the Democratic National Committee from 2016.

• Two weeks ago, the group’s board of directors nixed Turner’s attempt to install her personal political consultant and friend as her chief of staff, even though the person had no experience in political organizing and had praised President Donald Trump repeatedly and attacked immigrants on Fox News.

• Monthly online fundraising totals have plummeted to just one-third of the group's take a year ago, based on an analysis of processing fees reported to the IRS by Act Blue, the tool Our Revolution uses, and verified by several people familiar with its finances. Our Revolution maintains that it’s still running a surplus and that repeat donations are steady.

• Amid the poor fundraising, Our Revolution earlier this month filed paperwork to launch a PAC so Sanders can help it raise money directly and so the group can coordinate directly with campaigns.

• A founding board member resigned last month, saying Our Revolution wasn’t paying adequate attention to Latino candidates and issues of importance to Latinos.

Some Sanders stalwarts worry that Our Revolution’s performance could have a harmful spillover effect if he runs again: Though Sanders himself continues to reshape Democratic politics, with many presidential contenders signing on to his “Medicare for All” bill and primaries across the country being fought further on the left’s turf than in decades, supporters warn that the senator himself will suffer if the group formed in his name is seen as weak and floundering.

Yeah I knew this would happen. Nina Turner on some other ****.

Our Revolution leaders said that what they’re building goes much deeper than winning elections. The focus, said Larry Cohen, the group’s volunteer chairman, “is not that scoreboard. The focus is: Can we grow in actually measurable ways in this movement?”

We don't have time for this. They are delusional if they think we do. You need points on the scoreboard before the other team takes the ball and leaves the court.

Tomi Lahren Has Drinks Thrown at Her During Hip-Hop Brunch in Minneapolis

Tomi Lahren and her mother Trudy walked into a Saturday brunch in Minneapolis over the weekend and they didn’t receive a warm welcome. The Lahren women instead got accosted at the Union Restaurant and Topher had water and obscenities hurled at her.

The incidents were captured and posted on Twitter, and in one video you can see the unidentified hurl a drink at Tomi’s over processed bleached hair.

Tammy’s mom attempted to defend her daughter, as the water thrower said “**** Tomi”. When the bouncer, identified by the Blast as Jeremey Jackson, tried to intervene, Tobias was a bit peeved that he wanted her to leave the area instead of kicking out the brunchers.

Mpls

Abrams escaped the backlash from her approval of a GOP led gerrymandering bill a few years ago I see. Was curious how that would impact the primary.

 

[sonoftony]

So that's why we didn't see Rusty post much last night. He had to console his lady

 

[chao7]

Steve King and company are putting forth legislation that would lock up people like Oakland's mayor over sanctuary cities. Every day it's something else.

Philip Roth Once Torched Donald Trump In The Most Literary Way
“A massive fraud, the evil sum of his deficiencies, devoid of everything but the hollow ideology of a megalomaniac.”

https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/philip-roth-donald-trump_us_5b053224e4b07c4ea1035e46

Literary giant Philip Roth’s critical comments about President Donald Trump are being remembered following the author’s death at the age of 85 on Tuesday.

In a January 2017 interview with The New Yorker, Roth described Trump as “just a con artist” while comparing him with the leading character Charles Lindbergh in his 2004 novel “The Plot Against America.”

Trump was “humanly impoverished” and “ignorant of government, of history, of science, of philosophy, of art, incapable of expressing or recognizing subtlety or nuance” and “destitute of all decency,” the Pulitzer Prize-winning author added.



Roth also slammed Trump for “wielding a vocabulary of seventy-seven words that is better called Jerkish than English.”

The novelist struck a similar tone in an interview with The New York Times in January, calling Trump “a massive fraud, the evil sum of his deficiencies” and “devoid of everything but the hollow ideology of a megalomaniac.”

A hip-hop themed brunch, I presume and who knows why Tamara would show her face there.

She probably just likes all the opportunities to say the N-word when singing along.

There was a video a few months ago of her singing along to 21 Savage. Of course all the buscuit boys were impressed.

 

[AEA18]

They will eat the food, be entertained, and have sexual relations with the same people they hate.
