THREAD.. apologies in advance.. I've covered the @BernieSanders since December of '18. Indulge me as I take a look back at the roller coaster ride of a campaign that ended today.
First off- a HUGE thanks to @AnnieGrayerCNN & @GregJKrieg my teammates that made the job easy.

"Never Biden" = a vote for Trump
"I'm voting Green Party" = a vote for Trump
"Write in Bernie" = a vote for Trump
"Meh I'll stay home" = a vote for Trump

If you're a Trump voter, own it. But don't dress it up as a protest.

** WARNING **

The Russian trolls pretending to be Bernie Bros will be out en masse declaring they won’t vote for Biden. Their goal is get you to react with an anti Bernie message and thus cause real division and lower voter turnout. Don’t fall for this.

Neil Barofsky, fmr. TARP Special Inspector General, on the $2 trillion coronavirus relief package: “I think there's a general rule of thumb in government programs that a good 10 percent — there’s a good chance it’s going to get lost to fraud.”

Trump's 'America First' response to coronavirus fails in a global pandemic: Conservative columnist

[POLITICO @politico]

Congress assured America that its rush to deliver $2 trillion in coronavirus relief wouldn't lead to waste, fraud or abuse because they packed the law with powerful safeguards.

Yet none of the built-in oversight mechanisms are even close to functional

It took more than 3 months, a death toll above 87,000, cases in almost all countries, repeated pleas from smaller nations. Finally, @UN Security Council is going to meet to discuss the coronavirus — In a private session unlikely to yield any serious action

Absentee ballots ARE mail in voting.

[MS NOW @MSNOWNews]

Jim Acosta: "Can you or the White House staff...provide any evidence to back up your claim that mail-in voting is rife with fraud?"
Trump: "I think there's a lot of evidence"
..
Acosta: "Where's the proof?"
Trump: "We're going to find out about the proof"

@WhiteHouse @realDonaldTrump -45 must have been reading, it was a complete sentence. His god is money & its procurement anyway possible. His lies of when he knew, his denial of pandemic, his lack of response team, his lack of responsibility to governors for equipment required to save lives, attacks instead!

TO: @JoeBiden

Please select @ewarren as your running mate.

1. She cares deeply about average working people and the poor.

2. She understands how Wall St. has gamed the system.

3. She knows how to fix the system.

4. She'll get young people and progressives to the polls.

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

.@BernieSanders bowed to the math in acknowledging that @JoeBiden will be the nominee. He used the time today to laud his movement. But if his goal is to defeat @realDonaldTrump, he’ll have to make a more affirmative case for Biden and why his supporters should support him.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

Let me translate for you. “Widespread voter fraud” really means a lot of "those kinds of people" voting.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Dear @realDonaldTrump: Your “ripe for fraud” statement makes no sense. Absentee ballots ARE mail-in ballots. Also, you voted by mail. Stop being a hypocrite.

And, 72% of Americans support a requirement for mail-in voting. https://t.co/1xHb15BMMX

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

For-profit colleges already suck down enough taxpayer dollars to load students up with debt for useless degrees. If one penny of federal relief money goes to these companies, it should be aid for students – not to boost profits for executives & investors. https://t.co/gyOLcyMSoS

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

It’s World Health Day, and we owe a profound debt of gratitude to all our medical professionals. They’re still giving their all for us every day, at great risk to themselves, and we can’t thank them enough for their bravery and their service.
