Our favorite Abuela had the same message.

talked about how she wanted to punish wall street banks but in private big ticket donor meetings promised she wouldn't do anything to injure their bottom line.

MEANWHILE, IN BUTTE MONTANA...

quote:

Wastewater bacteria gorged on grease, got out of control

The �gooey nightmare� that overwhelmed Butte-Silver Bow�s wastewater treatment plant in early April overindulged on grease, possibly bacon grease.

The brown, sponge-like foam that bloomed so badly that the plant had to shut down for six hours is �uniquely good at eating� fatty oils and grease, said Matt Moore, treatment plant operator.

Bacon grease, he added, is a significant problem for Butte�s wastewater treatment plant.

�It�s worse (here) than other cities,�� he said.

County workers broke a �huge grease dam� around Montana Street and Josette Avenue on March 29 that had been plugging the sewer line. Once those chunks of grease made their way to the treatment plant on Centennial Avenue, the brown bacteria inside the plant engorged itself and bloomed out of control.

The foam grew so large workers opened the plant doors to let the bacteria, which looked like something out of the 1988 Hollywood horror movie "The Blob," roll out.

While his numbers have declined in recent years, I would hesitate to declare Matt Forte a "mess". His 2016 performance is the result of the Jets being a mess and a waste than Matt Forte personally.

cool, finally got a quist fundraising email that isnt lovely, soul-crushing spam

Our Revolution posted:

Rob Quist and his grassroots team of supporters in Montana are working harder than ever to win Montana's special election to Congress. Coming from a rural state like I do, Rob is raising issues that resonate with people in a way that the Beltway establishment just hasn't figured out. We know that we can surprise the pundit class and push Rob over the top on May 25th, but he's going to need our support.

On every major issue, Rob Quist is leading the way for Montana. He is a devoted supporter of Medicare for All, Planned Parenthood, raising the minimum wage to a living wage, and equal pay for equal work. He also wants to get big money out of politics by overturning Citizens United. I intend to be campaigning with Rob next weekend all over Montana. Together, we can give Rob an enormous boost in the final stretch of his campaign and send a message to Washington that progressives across the country are doing more than just mounting challenges -- they're running to win.

This is especially important in Montana, where President Trump's executive order to review the status of our national parks puts natural treasures like Glacier and Yellowstone in the crosshairs of Wall Street and the fossil fuel industry. Rob believes, like I do, that public lands should be passed down to the next generation, not sold off to the highest bidder. After the incredible turnout at the People's Climate March, it's clear that the American people are on Rob's side.

Rob spent the last year campaigning with us during our campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination. It's time we returned the favor.

It's in moments like these that we need to rally to the cause and advance our progressive agenda. A victory in Montana would not just be a step forward for that beautiful state, it will be a step forward for progressive politics all across the country. That's why I'm adding my voice to this fight -- I hope you will add yours too.

In solidarity,

Bernie Sanders
