2020 Democrats Wrestle With A Big Question: What Are Reparations?
Several Democratic candidates have been quick to embrace reparations recently. Bernie Sanders is more cautious.
At a CNN town hall on Monday, a woman asked Sanders about his view on reparations, and at first he talked about trying to "put resources into distressed communities and improve lives for those people who have been hurt from the legacy of slavery."

The ‘Big Lie Is No Lie’ Lie
The thing about Donald Trump’s “Big Lie” is that it is: 1. big and 2. a lie. Trump has now filed a $475 million lawsuit against CNN, insisting that the news channel stop referring to his lies as “lies.”
That’s High Trumpism: lying about lying while putting your hand out and asking for money.
CNN’s lawyers can rest easy. The lawsuit (which I encourage you to read) is an

Here Are The Billionaires Funding The Democratic Presidential Candidates
As Democratic candidates drop out of the race, more billionaires are jumping in. By the end of 2019, about 20% of American billionaires had donated—either directly or through their spouse—to at least one Democratic candidate running for president, according to a review of the latest Federal Election Commission filings. At least 100 billionaires donated in their own names. And at least 25 did
