CNBC: Silicon Valley has found its presidential candidate in Andrew Yang.

Chapo Trap House is the dirtbag left socialist podcast. One of their members, Virgil Texas, interviewed Yang a couple days ago.

Went fine. Virgil tried to nail Yang down on his beliefs about "entrepreneurs being job creators" but it was unclear where he was going with it, Yang handled it pretty well. I think Virgil thought he could push Yang on "why UBI instead of a social wealth fund or XXX other policy" but Yang was like "those are good too!"
Yang's explanation about how he could get Republicans in congress to vote for UBI went unchallenged which was kinda ridiculous since, ya know, there's no fucking way on planet earth that Republicans would vote for a VAT.

Gillibrand says the she, and other female senators, is being unfairly treated for calling out Al Franken's conduct. She says it has harmed her fundraising efforts.
Although many of her Senate colleagues now also seeking the Democratic presidential nomination — including Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Cory Booker of New Jersey, Kamala Harris of California and Bernie Sanders of Vermont — followed her lead in calling for Franken to step down, Gillibrand has continually faced more questions than others about being too quick to condemn him.
She's said for months that she stands by her decision. But Gillibrand has also maintained that her presidential campaign's fundraising has been hurt by some top donors who continue to blame her for setting in motion the events that led to Franken's resignation. The stakes are high since Gillibrand will participate next week in the second Democratic presidential debate, but her low standing in polls and struggle to meet minimum fundraising thresholds mean she's not on track to qualify for subsequent debates — likely increasing pressure on her to drop out of the race.
The New Yorker quoted seven current or former senators saying they regretted calling for Franken's resignation, none of whom are running for president. Gillibrand said Monday that she "could have told" any of the senators who called for Franken to quit that "there is no prize for someone who tries to hold accountable a powerful man who is good at his day job."
"But we should have the courage to do it anyway," she said. "So, no. I do not have any regrets."
Gillibrand also noted that, while Franken was still in the Senate after the allegations surfaced, female senators were asked "every day, multiple times a day" about his resignation.
"Were the male senators asked? Absolutely not. So let's be clear, there is absolutely a double standard," she said.
"Women are asked to hold accountable their colleagues. The men are not," Gillibrand added. "Who is being held accountable for Al Franken's decision to resign? Women senators, including me. It's outrageous. It's absurd."
She said doing so hurts Democrats' chances of denying President Trump a second term, saying, "If this party thinks that, by not valuing women, they're going to beat Trump, well, they're wrong."

Buttigieg has already spent $300k on private airfare while campaigning, more than any other candidate. He is also spending more on hotels compared to his competition.
The expenditures have enabled the South Bend, Indiana, mayor to keep up an aggressive schedule, shuttling from his campaign headquarters in his hometown to fundraisers and political events across the country. But his reliance on charter flights contrasts sharply with his image as a Rust Belt mayor who embodies frugality and Midwestern modesty.
“It’s a trade-off. The downside is that taking a private airplane can look very elitist,” said Dan Schnur, a University of Southern California political science professor and former press secretary for John McCain’s 2000 Republican presidential campaign. “On the other hand, it allows you to cover a lot more ground and talk to a much larger number of voters.”
His campaign spent about $110,000 at a Hilton hotel in downtown Miami during the first round of Democratic debates last month . Buttigieg’s campaign says the expenditures covered a large block of conference rooms and rooms for campaign staff, though records show it’s drastically more than any other top contender paid for lodging that week.
He also spent about $20,000 at other Hilton hotels, $14,000 on car and limousine services and $4,100 at the Avalon in Beverly Hills, which bills itself as a hotel that “sets the tone for hip repose.”
When it comes to charter flight expenses, Buttigieg is followed by former Vice President Joe Biden, who spent $256,000, according to records. Biden’s campaign declined to discuss his use of charter flights in detail but said carbon offsets purchased to reduce environmental damage from combusted jet fuel contributed to the high cost.
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren has spent about $60,000 on private planes but regularly flies coach and often takes selfies with supporters in airports. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders spent about $18,000. And California Sen. Kamala Harris spent $17,000 on charters, records show.
