Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Elizabeth Warren isn't just a former Harvard professor...

Evan Halper @evanhalper Aug 27One early launchpad for @ewarren stardom: Dr. Phil. Yes, that guy. Longtime Warren chronicler @Noahbierman looks back at their alliance...
____ "I am such a fan " of Warren's, Phil McGraw, Dr. Phil's real name, wrote in 2010, urging President Obama to nominate the Harvard University bankruptcy law professor to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Agency, which she had helped create. He added, "We are so like-minded !"
Warren didn't get the job in Washington, but the setback proved career-changing : It led her to run successfully for U.S. senator from Massachusetts in 2012, and now for the Democratic presidential nomination.
The interaction between the Ivy League academic and the host of a daytime TV talk show was crucial in another way. Between 2003 and 2005, Warren appeared three times on the "Dr. Phil " show, doling out personal finance advice to a live studio audience in Hollywood--and millions of Americans at home...
"I didn't know if I'd be any good at all, but I knew that if I didn't try, I wouldn't have a chance to reach Dr. Phil's audience, " she said. "I was game to give it my all."
Warren later credited McGraw for suggesting that she and her daughter write a follow-up book. "All Your Worth : The Ultimate Lifetime Money Plan " was marketed as a self-help bible, with step-by-step guides to "a Lifetime of Riches."

An effort aimed at ending systemic hunger in America. He runs hot and cold for me, but overall, I think that he is good at heart.
