Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Elizabeth Warren knows what we're facing and she has plans, from Fox News to Facebook
Elizabeth Warren has a plan to deal with Fox News.
The senior senator from Massachusetts and Democratic candidate for president will answer the right-wing cable channels questions, but she will not do anything that adds money to the hate-for-profit machine.
That means saying no to a Fox-branded town hall.
And just like her plans to fight the opioid crisis and cancel student loan debt and take on the anti-competitive dominance of tech giants like Google, Facebook, and Amazon, her calls to end the filibuster and within hours of reading the Mueller report to begin impeachment proceedings for President Donald Trump, its a plan that this unique moment in history demands.
Again and again, Warren has risen to the greatest assault on democracy by a somewhat democratically elected president and a party of oleaginous enablers by not only clearly describing the crisis we face, but also laying out a path through it. There has been no candidate for president in my lifetime who has better matched her countrys needs.
Of course, just over a decade ago, we saw another candidate for president who was a remarkable fit for his moment. Barack Obama opposed the Iraq War from the outset and promised a new generational approach to country that seemed to be crumbling and drowning at the same time.
But even before Obama said, Yes, we can, Warren was telling anyone who would listen about the risks that were systematically tearing the middle class apart and would lead to the financial crisis.

I've been a fan for years but I'm still gratified and impressed with her there's-an-app-for-that policy proposals.
