DINOS Attack Elizabeth Warren
The Washington establishment’s war on Senator Elizabeth Warren has officially begun.
On Friday, Jim Kessler, vice president of the centrist Democrat think-tank Third Way, took to the airwaves to defend his organization’s recent attack piece on the Senator.

So now they’ve joined Republicans in declaring an all-out war on her and
everything she stands for......more
Progressive Change Campaign Committee has an online petition
