Meeting bae's family, YouTube, Dem Debate, Bernie Sanders, and my mystery famous subscriber
Hey everybody,
Thank you all so much for your kindness. I mean it. I was truly stunned by the outpouring of support I received after talking about my grandmother's passing. I couldn't respond to every message or note but it helped a lot, truly. She passed, as peacefully as was possible, on Saturday evening, surrounded by family. We will host a memorial in her honor this weekend, and I will speak about the difference she made in my life.
Boyfriend update: I'm meeting boo's dad tomorrow night! This is a really big deal for us and I'm super excited. Cross your fingers that I make a good impression!
YouTube: Be sure to subscribe to my new YouTube channel! Right now I'm just posting TV clips, but I have unique originals in the workings to be posted as soon as this weekend. You don't wanna miss it.
Oh, and I covered last night's Democratic debate, hosted by CBS News ahead of the South Carolina primary. My takeaway? It was a chaotic, poorly-moderated affair, with Bloomberg and Biden both having not-awful nights, and Bernie Sanders taking a bit of a beating. I anticipate a close Biden victory in SC that will reignite his campaign and make it a three-way race between Biden, Bloomberg, and Sanders.
Book Club: I'm re-reading my favorite fantasy book of all time, Mistborn by Brandon Sanders. It's a weird dystopian novel about this theocratic dictator in a cool world where a variation of alchemy gives some people mystical powers. About 300 pages into the first book. They're lengthy, but I HIGHLY recommend for fantasy fans.
Food Take: Sorry white girls and gays, but Chipotle is gross. Most over-rated chain of all time. I stan Applebees as the best chain in America and that's just a fact.

Conservative group touts 'anti-Greta' in idiotic display of right-wing hypocrisy
It's wrong when liberals hide behind a troubled teenager and outsource their intellectualism to a minor. It's even worse when conservatives do it, because of the rank hypocrisy. Read about the 'anti-Greta' German teen climate deniers are pushing.
Don't let Democrats downplay Sanders's radicalism
Now that he's the Democratic front-runner, some liberal media figures and Democratic establishment types are already trying to downplay his socialism. Don't fall for it -- his policy agenda is wildly radical and not just "social democracy" or something tame.
Never Trumpers backing Sanders have let anti-Trump derangement melt their brains
I get not liking Trump. You don't have to vote for him, and can always vote third-party, write in a candidate, or not vote at all. But the anti-Trump "conservatives," like Joe Walsh, backing communist sympathizer Bernie Sanders have let their hatred for the president drive them batshit crazy.
Competitors attack Bernie Sanders with unfair Russia smears at Democratic debate
What do you do when someone questions the Democratic establishment? Slime them as a Russian asset, of course. Democrats must stop using these cheap smears and start making real arguments.
Joe Biden's '150 million gun deaths' error didn't happen in a vacuum
He made a massive error on the debate stage, but no one called him out. Why? Well, because the Democratic Party has sadly become quite uncomfortable with spreading misinformation on gun control.
Bonus Brad:
So, I'm not going to say who, but apparently a member of the president's cabinet low-key subscribes to this newsletter on his personal email. How cool is that?!? Stay tuned, we'll be setting up an interview soon ;D
