Buying your way onto the debate stage

Look, Beto isn’t going to write this campaign a $12 million check. He’s not accepting money from PACs or lobbyists either. John, a new candidate will be joining the debate stage. Tom Steyer is a billionaire hedge fund manager who already spent a staggering $17.6 million on TV ads trying to …

The question of impeachment has only become more urgent every day that passes in this lawless administration. John, I started talking about how we need to impeach Donald Trump in 2017. Back then, not a lot of folks knew where to stand on the issue and weren’t sure if it was the best path …
