Bernie Sanders: "I think this is a prelude not only to cutting benefits, but to privatizing Social Security ... why do you lie so much about Social Security? Why do you make it look like it's a broken system? The reason is to get people to lose faith in the system so you can give it over to Wall St"

I'm still waiting on Lin-Manuel Miranda to write "Burr," only it's about Aaron Burr's life after he shot Hamilton. Lin-Manuel plays Hamilton's ghost throughout, constantly reminding him that he aimed up. #musicals #Hamilton #Lin-Manuel #suggestions

Scoop: In a tense off-the-record meeting with reporters that went off-the rails, the Pentagon's new press chief indicated they'll do away with the travel pool. He also scolded reporters for their coverage. "It was bleak and horrible," I'm told.

Just saw the people asking — my daughter is doing great.
Thyroid cancer. But it was well contained, no signs of spread in her lymph nodes. Partial thyroid removal, but everything looks great.
Again, if you work at any part of a hospital with the word “pediatric” on the wall, God bless you.
