That’s cold.
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison appeared to have a seriously lukewarm reaction to fellow Minnesotan Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s (D-MN) withdrawal from the Democratic presidential race on Monday. In a tweet Monday, Ellison congratulated Klobuchar for her “participation” and thanked her for her run in the Democratic presidential primary.
Bernie is set to get his own participation trophy soon.
What is wrong with these “Bernie” followers?
But it will be from the other team…
Once again, very poor journalistic (or maybe purposely) omission of an important FACT by a TPM “editor”.
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison is the Co-Chair of Bernie Sanders campaign in Minnesota, and was his campaign chair in 2016.
Conveniently left out of the article? or you just don’t care anymore?
I am trying to figure out what is wrong with his tweet. I guess TPM writers have to write about something even if it is nothing.
Ellison is a Sanders supporter. What did he do wrong from that perspective.
There’s the class and graciousness we’ve come to expect from Sanders supporters.
I think the feeling is that the TPM article was as omissive as Ellison’s Tweet was dismissive.
Great “reporting”.
What a monster!!!
I know! If he had written something the total opposite of what he wrote, it might have been a little negative towards her! That bastard!
Oh, they’re likable … enough.
Where is her RiBbon
This is a big deal why exactly?
Is it a harbinger of Dog Bites Man becoming newsworthy?
Why is the CDC not updating their coronavirus data on their website?

Bewildering - what do you want the guy to say - keeping in mind that Ellison is actively supporting Sanders - there isn’t a real “protocol” for congratulatory (?) messages that are to be made to a candidate who withdraws on the day before Super Tuesday.
Really - what do you say? Hallmark does not make a card for that.
“Thanks for coming - sorry you had to leave early … we enjoyed having you here”
It is not like he said “good riddance - don’t let the door hit ya in the ass”
Not sure how the “Bernie Bros” could be considered worse than the “Anti-Bernie Bros”. I don’t see much of the former but tons of the latter.
People are saying they’ve been defunded and the assistant greens keeper at failing Trump Doral golf club is now in charge.
Trump released his fiscal year 2020 federal budget proposal in March, recommending huge cuts across the federal government, including a 12 percent cut to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and a 10 percent cut for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
At CDC, a reduction of that magnitude equates to a $750 million spending cut over fiscal year 2019
. APHA member John Auerbach, MBA, president and CEO of Trust for America’s Health, said the proposed CDC cuts not only threaten federal public health capacity, they would have a “devastating” impact on state and local public health departments, which depend heavily on CDC dollars flowing down to the community level.

But WAIT! There’s more.
Going back to 2018.
Benjamin noted that the recent announcement to not renew funding for global health initiatives to monitor Ebola and other outbreaks is intertwined with the PPHF, as well. By choosing not to renew the supplemental package, the CDC will reduce or stop work in 39 of 49 foreign countries focused on preventing infectious-disease epidemics and other health threats. Slashing those programs, along with financial support for PPHF, which provides infrastructure and support for some of those programs, hampers the CDC’s broader capacity to respond to and contain disease outbreaks. And, he notes, the cuts limit research innovation. The National Institutes of Health, he says, plays a valuable role in basic research to combat disease, but translation work is done by the CDC, so programs related to such research could be affected.
