      This thread is a good critique of Bernie Sanders' letter about Center for American Progress & Think Progress. I think its important to make a distinction between CAP & TP.https://twitter.com/rmc031/status/1117458405873078272 …

      uh so out of curiosity I wanted to see what ThinkProgress ran about Elizabeth Warren + Native Americans in November 2017 here are the two pieces: https://thinkprogress.org/trump-warren-pocahontas-bdfb856e31a6/ … (a pro-Warren news story) and a critical op-ed by a Cherokee writer https://thinkprogress.org/elizabeth-warren-is-not-cherokee-c1ec6c91b696/ …

      I do think that Bernie or any other progressive Dem presidential candidate will have to have a battle with the think tank world (which, with a few exceptions like @MattBruenig, really is beholden to the super-rich). But the grounds for this particular battle are bad.

          Matt Bruenig's wife is employed by literally the richest man in the world.

          Yeah, we judge people by who their spouses work for because it's the 19th century. Wait, no, it's the 21st century.

          Maybe tell that to CAP whose YouTube video slammed Sanders. And tell that to @MSNBC who continues to air Neera Tanden. Oh wait, Comcast is a huge donor to CAP as was the UAE. https://theintercept.com/2019/01/16/center-for-american-progress-cap-uae-leak/ …

          How about a battle with Republicans? That might be beneficial assuming that one isn't simply trying to consolidate power.

          Replying to @HeerJeet @MattBruenig

          It's stunning to see @SenSanders camp attack think tanks. Many of those chiming up are either current or former alum of The Intercept. See @ZaidJilani The Intercept is funded by a billionaire too (Omidyar). SO SICK of the hypocrisy & whining by BS' cult. Divisive 💩!pic.twitter.com/srlYzAaTqc

          Bruenig having a credible think tank is the most laughable thing I read. 😂😂

          The fool hired a bunch of campaign staff from the Intercept, which is beholden to its Republican donors.
