Daly Announces D6 Progressive Primary Election Details
In a letter addressed to progressive allies who Daly hopes will sign on to become an election co-host or an observer, Daly wrote: “Even though District 6 is a progressive district, there is a very real risk that, even with ranked choice voting, the progressive vote could split and not transfer to the strongest progressive candidate.

Why I appreciate Press TV
The allegation that Press TV serves as the “mouthpiece of Iranian government” deserves scrutiny. Every media outlet around the world endeavors to satisfy its owner and serve—or at least not undermine—its interests, especially when the owner is a government. Press TV is going to grow professionally, and become more like an Iranian BBC. I personally oppose Press TV serving as a mouthpiece for any power, including the Iranian government; however, the problem is that we don’t know of any international news outlet that doesn’t often serve as a mouthpiece for its respective government.
