Marches are scheduled in New York, Boston, Minnesota, and the Bay Area, to name a few. The idea has even spread abroad. HuffPo notes:
… march spokespeople say it would be a mistake to overlook the 370 smaller “sister marches” that have been planned in every state and on six continents that weekend ― and that are expected at last count to draw nearly 700,000 people. Read more here >>>>
OR MAYBE NOT!!!! HILLARY CLINTON’S NAME IS MISSING FROM THIS DOCUMENT!!!!This is the reason you are seeing the hashtag #ADDHERNAME trending.

I once read that Hillary Clinton excels at Tetris. Since I also am very good at that game, I have always wanted to challenge her to a face-off, but she just doesn’t have that kind of time, and, following her, neither do I. It is appropriate, nevertheless, that this week the Democratic Party has behaved like a game of Tetris with the tiles tumbling in fast and furiously.
Earlier in the week (I can’t believe this is all in the same week), contacted by Associated Press, enough uncommitted special delegates decided to commit to Hillary on the eve of the last Super Tuesday of the primary season giving her the clinch even before the polls opened. The next day Hillary dominated in four of the six states.
President Obama wasted no time in jumping on the Hillary bus, endorsing her today shortly after meeting privately with Senator Sanders. Whether the timing was planned or coincidental, former presidential candidate Martin O’Malley also came out with a strong endorsement today.
Hillary Clinton on Thursday at last secured the endorsement she’d long sought — and she also won the backing of Martin O’Malley.
It’s not clear if it was by design or he was just a victim of unfortunate timing, but not long after President Obama announced his support of Clinton as the presumptive Democratic Party nominee, O’Malley said that he, too, was backing his former 2016 rival, in an endorsement that will unquestionably be overshadowed.
In a series of tweets, O’Malley said “for the future of the country, I am committing my energies to the election of Secretary Clinton as the next president.”
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a hero to liberal progressives ideologically aligned with Bernie Sanders’ anti-Wall Street rhetoric, will endorse presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton Thursday night on MSNBC’s the Rachel Maddow Show.
The endorsement will come during an exclusive live interview beginning at 9 p.m.
Warren’s announcement comes the same day President Barack Obama formally backed Clinton in a video lauding her qualifications for the job.
“I’m ready,” she said Thursday on MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow Show. “I am ready to get in this fight and work my heart out for Hillary Clinton to become the next president of the United States and to make sure that Donald Trump never gets anyplace close to the White House.”
Vice President Joe Biden also criticized Donald Trump during a speech at the American Constitution Society convention on Thursday.
Vice President Joe Biden endorsed presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton for president on Thursday, hours after President Barack Obama publicly declared his support for Clinton.
“In my view, God willing, it’ll be Secretary Clinton,” Biden said, referring to the next president, during an address at the American Constitution Society convention in Washington.
“I am honored to have earned the endorsement of the National Association of Letter Carriers.
“The Postal Service is consistently ranked as the most trusted government agency, and the brothers and sisters of NALC are one reason why. Since our nation’s founding, efficient and effective mail service has connected families and enabled commerce. Today, more than 160 billion pieces of mail travel through the postal system each year—many of them in the hands of a Letter Carrier.
“As President, I will stand with the Letter Carriers to protect workers’ fundamental rights to organize, to bargain collectively, to be safe on the job, and to retire with dignity and security. And I will work with the Letter Carriers to build a bright future for the postal system and postal workers in the 21st century. I know that the postal system is still a vital lifeline for American communities from coast to coast, and recognize the Letter Carriers’ vital role in building the American middle class.
“Above all, workers deserve a seat at the table and a champion in the White House. Because when workers are strong, families are strong—and when families are strong, America is strong.”
The Democratic Party is unifying behind Hillary very quickly while the Republicans remain in disarray over remarks by Donald Trump and the image he projects as “leader” of the party. Apparently the remarks are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to potential problems posed by the presumptive nominee of the GOP who likes to cite in unspecific numbers the “many” people, “hundreds” of people who support his unfiltered comments and positions.
Donald Trump casts himself as a protector of workers and jobs, but a USA TODAY NETWORK investigation found hundreds of people – carpenters, dishwashers, painters, even his own lawyers – who say he didn’t pay them for their work.
Back in October, after the first debate, I said this: ” I was proud of my party watching this debate and proudest of my candidate, Hillary Clinton, who did a superlative job.” I am proud again today..
Look for President Obama tonight on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. The segment was recorded yesterday, before the big endorsement today.
Hillary spent a full day campaigning in Iowa. Then she stepped into the big picture arena with CNN’s Chris Cuomo and an audience full of Iowans about to caucus in one week. Drake University hosted the event.
Bernie Sanders began by hearkening back to his Iraq War vote and encouraging people to hear what he said about that. It is also instructive to listen to Hillary’s statement on her vote at that time – her rationale, what she did not say, and what she said her vote did not represent.
Martin O’Malley, upon question one, removed jacket and rolled up sleeves. He does this symbolic act every time. Reminder, this is about a presidential election, not a Tony Award. Onstage costume changes work fine in Evita and The Audience. This is Iowa, not Broadway. He always comes off very smoothly scripted, and he dances well too. Did a pirouette right around the question of where his support goes when he finally drops out.
Hillary came on with a skip and a hop and expressed heartfelt appreciation for President Obama’s words about her. She stood as soon as the questions commenced. She also danced a little – really danced! Not metaphorically. Finally, foreign policy came up with Hillary onstage. She said military intervention should always be a last resort. On her Iraq War vote she countered that she has a much longer history than one vote. That really needs to be the end of that talking point on all sides.
Topics came up for Hillary that did not come up for the others. Aside from foreign policy and interventionism, there was Islamophobia. She was also the only one asked how she would win Republicans over if elected. Most inspirational president? Abraham Lincoln (with a few apologies to others we know).
I do not know what the Iowans will do next Monday, but if they are looking for someone ready to do the whole job, clearly that person is Hillary Clinton.
When it comes to protecting and building on President Obama’s progress, there’s only one candidate who will get it done. #DemTownHall
Better known in Nevada as the Battle Born/Battleground First in the West Caucus Dinner, it was hosted by Harry Reid and the Nevada Democratic Party. Last night, the three candidates still running under the Democratic Party banner joined Senator Reid and hosts of enthusiastic supporters.

Hope you also followed the hashtags I offered earlier.
Hillary Clinton was her exacting, specific, inclusive, and incisive self. One thing I can say: I am glad she has been primaried because otherwise many issues would never have reached home screens this season. Only the #DemDebates have raised issues like racially imbalanced incarceration and drug abuse. Only the #DemDebates provide any discussion of gun control.
Many argued that Saturday night was not a good night for a debate. Our own Brassy Rebel explained that it is due to prime time availability on network TV since many seniors and working poor voters cannot afford cable. I availed myself of the opportunity to explain that to Jeb!when he questioned it. For those of us who are political junkies or, more likely, die-hard Hillary supporters, it was the best Saturday night date!
“Our prayers are with the people of France tonight, but that is not enough.”
Hillary addressed the horrific attacks in Paris during her opening statement at the second Democratic debate. Watch:
“Well, our prayers are with the people of France tonight, but that is not enough. We need to have a resolve that will bring the world together, to root out the kind of radical, jihadist ideology that motivates organizations like ISIS, a barbaric, ruthless, violent, jihadist, terrorist group.
“This election is not only about electing a president. It’s also about choosing our next commander-in-chief, and I will be laying out, in detail, what I think we need to do with our friends and allies in Europe and elsewhere to do a better job of coordinating efforts against the scourge of terrorism. Our country deserves no less because all of the other issues we want to deal with depend on us being secure and strong.”

The fight against global terrorism will take center stage Saturday night when Democrats gather in Iowa to debate after the gruesome attacks in Paris that laid bare the kinds of threats the next American president will face.
A month after the Democratic presidential candidates clashed on gun control and financial regulations in their first debate, which focused largely on domestic and economic issues, they are expected to face more questions on foreign policy and national security. Hours after the deadly attacks, CBS News, a co-host of the event, said it would refocus the debate to give candidates an opportunity to discuss how they would respond to such an international crisis.
Despite the tragic nature of the events, the new backdrop represents an opportunity for Hillary Rodham Clinton, the former secretary of state, to shine at a moment when her two remaining rivals, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Martin O’Malley — neither of whom has much foreign policy experience — will be under pressure to blunt her momentum.
It is not that there are no differences. There are. There are differences in priorities and in the details of the plans. There were no personal insults. There was no name-calling. There were moments of strong agreement, head-nodding, and laughter. I am not going to try to review this whole debate here. I am a Democrat. I have been since long before I could register to vote. I was proud of my party watching this debate and proudest of my candidate, Hillary Clinton, who did a superlative job.
My fav lines: “I know how to find common ground, but I know how to stand my ground.” – HRC. Also, “Enough of the emails!” – Bernie

@U.S. Senate: Time to ratify LOST!
"... ratify the Law of the Sea Convention, which has provided the international framework for exploring these new opportunities in the Arctic. We abide by the international law that undergirds the convention, but we think the United States should be a member, because the convention sets down the rules of the road that protect freedom of navigation, provide maritime security, serve the interests of every nation that relies on sea lanes for commerce and trade, and also sets the framework for exploration for the natural resources that may be present in the Arctic." -HRC, 06-03-12, Tromso Norway
