    The notion of ‘electability’ reinforces the idea that women, people of color, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community can’t win when running for office. Let’s rid ourselves of this notion.

    Watching local cable news, and their take on Trump’s rally was he hit “familiar themes” and said he might work with Democrats on prescription drug prices. No mention of the massive lies he told about killing babies or his sanctuary city plan. This isn’t responsible coverage.

  6. Warren, asked about homelessness, goes to her plan for 3 million new affordable housing units. "If you can afford to buy a McMansion, you’ve got plenty of supply, because that's where the money is for developers. If you can’t afford that, you’re looking at a deteriorating stock."

  7. After a questioner says she was a 2018 Dem organizer in Nevada, Warren cheers and congratulates the crowd for winning everything here in the midterms. (Lots of Dems do this, but I've noticed that Sanders tends to focus on the revolution pitch and eschew local politics.)

  8. Chants of "WARREN, WARREN" after she finishes with "overturning Citizens United." (Entering its 10th year as the biggest Dem applause line.)

  9. Warren on what the wealth tax can pay for: Universal child care, universal pre-K, universal college, student debt cancellation for 95 percent of the country -- "plus, if you sign up now, 12 steak knives."

  10. Warren explaining the wealth tax: "How many people here own a home?" Most hands go up. "You’ve been paying a wealth tax for years. They just call it a property tax. I just want their tax to include the diamonds, the yachts, and the Rembrandts."

  11. "The good news is that I have the biggest anti-corruption plan since Watergate. The bad news is that we NEED the biggest anti-corruption plan since Watergate."

  12. Warren's opening policy riff here is about climate change, arguing that the old consensus that created the EPA ended after energy industry lobbying ramped up. "They invested in politicians. They invested in Washington to do nothing."

  13. Some new dad jokery on the stump, too: "I knew what I wanted to do since second grade. I know that some of you didn't know until second grade." "I used to line up my dollies and teach them. I was tough but fair."

  14. First Warren town hall for me in a while; the opening story about her mother going back to work after her father's heart attacks has some new flourishes. "People brought covered dishes" after the heart attack; her mother and her locked eyes before she went to get the job

  15. Warren asks if there are any other Okies in the crowd. Someone cheers, another says "Hook 'em!" Warren boos theatrically. "Them's fightin' words." Then she admits that she taught at UT Austin for a while. "It was a little awkward on game days."

    Of course Republicans are hypocrites but it’s striking to me that *Democrats* who were eager to condemn Ilhan Omar’s “tropes” won’t say that Trump has anything to do with the fact that two different synagogues have been shot up by rightwingers spouting “great replacement” stuff.

  17. Warren being introduced in Nevada by former state legislator Joe Neal, who's dramatizing the story of Warren being blocked from CFPB and running for Senate. "She said, if you don't want me in the executive branch, okay: I'm gonna come into your house."
