Bernie’s mittens are made by Jen Ellis, a teacher from Essex Junction, Vt. She gave them to him 2+ years ago and was surprised when he began wearing them on the campaign trail. They are made from repurposed wool sweaters and lined with fleece made from recycled plastic bottles. https://t.co/ErLr29lY2t

.@ewarren camp says at least 20,000 people attended her rally in Washington Square Park tonight.

(They got 23K rsvps, an aide says, and stopped counting attendees at 20K once Warren began speaking.)

This is her biggest event yet, following a Seattle rally that drew 15,000. https://t.co/Exj6CsxKlA

Sanders said he's seen plenty of protesters at his events — many of them Trump supporters — "but this was something different," he told reporters in Phoenix today, describing the swastika as "unspeakable" & the "most detestable symbol in modern history." buzzfeednews.com/article/rubycr…..

Do you consider yourself the Democratic frontrunner, @andersoncooper asks.

Sanders: “Who cares.”

Marianne Williamson is making a surprise appearance in Austin, Texas, to endorse Bernie Sanders.

Elizabeth Warren begins her appearance at tonight's LGBTQ forum in Iowa by reading the names of 18 trans women of color who have been killed this year.

"It is time for a president of the United States of America to say their names," she says.

Thinking always but especially tonight about my dad, Richard Ben Cramer, who wrote more beautifully about Joe Biden, the candidate and the man, than anyone has or will. I really wish he had been able to see tonight.

Cory Booker is forcing a change of pace at the Iowa Wing Ding cattle call tonight, starting his 5-minute speech by noting that Beto O'Rourke, still in TX, didn't miss this event because of some obligation. "He missed this because Americans were slaughtered" in his hometown.

.@BernieSanders has a crowd of 25,872 this afternoon at his Queens rally, according to the security company handling the event, Contemporary Services Corp. That would make this event, his first since his heart attack 18 days ago, the largest crowd drawn by any candidate.

NEWS: With Buttigieg declaring victory on stage tonight, Bernie Sanders campaign is about to release their own internal reporting numbers. It won’t be 100% of precincts, but it’s what they have so far, says @AriRabinHavt. The figures will show Sanders ahead, an aide says.

Doug Emhoff was absolutely frightened, as was I, by the sudden blast of the confetti cannon.

Cory Booker was here in Iowa last night to personally thank his staff and volunteers. I'm told there were tears, hugs, stories shared, etc. This morning he flew to see his New Hampshire team. Trips to SC and NV planned as well. You don't see that from every candidate.

This is a great backstage photo. Another aide told me Sanders has been “pinching himself” all day. Not sure it will move any votes on Tuesday, but big and emotional moment for Sanders personally to get Jesse Jackson’s endorsement. twitter.com/AriRabinHavt/s…..

Students from Sanders’s alma mater are here to organize in Iowa. The quote on the back of the tees, lol https://t.co/ZMtmdm30gk

Quick note from Bernie‘s presser earlier today in Utah. At one point, when a Washington Post reporter raised his hand, Sanders looked at him, pointed, and said, “No.” A terse & striking moment after the recent incident where he criticized the timing of a Post story (see below). https://t.co/ylSySpPo12

Bernie: "No one is going to be attacking Elizabeth."

"We have hundreds of employees. Elizabeth Warren has hundreds of employees. And people sometimes say things that they shouldn't. You have heard me give many speeches. Have I ever said one word about Elizabeth Warren?" https://t.co/ozOAfu5tYr

Reporters at Bernie Sanders’s rally tonight in Phoenix witnessed multiple incidents involving protesters, including one who waved a large flag with a swastika on it. The man was immediately removed. Disturbing and scary.

Unclear if Sen. Sanders saw the flag.

.@Olivianuzzi asked Eric Swalwell about the attacks he got after being unwittingly linked to a Chinese spy and got this extremely depressing Washington story in return

On his campaign plane in Des Moines, due to take off for New Hampshire, Bernie Sanders says he feels confident in his position based on internal numbers, but of Buttigieg:

”I don’t know how anybody declares victory before you have an official statement as to election results.” https://t.co/oBTKvrKmS5

Please do not contact me today unless it’s about Lis Smith’s fake Nigerian burner account.

important update: Bernie Sanders co-chair @ninaturner is pro Tom Steyer's quest to say "Hi, Bernie."

"Mr. Steyer is fond of the senator — you know, obviously," she says, laughing — "and he likes to say hello. We need more of that. We need more of that in politics." https://t.co/euuw7Ik8x3

"Joe knows the anguish of sitting at a table with an empty chair," says Michelle Obama, with a dagger of an emotional image for anyone who has experienced loss.
