Anyone willing to consider the viewpoint that requesting a toning down of angry rhetoric might be damn good advice coming from a person whose Presidential ambitions were destroyed when the press portrayed him as having too angry of rhetoric to be mainstream?
You see an attack? I see really good advice.*
* Note: I did not say Warren should change anything.

"In Iowa, nowhere for O’Malley to go but up"
That means that O'Malley, who has been weighing a possible presidential bid for at least the past two years, should have lots of opportunities to convince people of his merits when he travels to the early nominating state in March.

My 2 cents: O'Malley's campaign is clearly stalled. IMO, he should reject what his advisers are telling him and announce now.
This would give him some media attention which could kick start his campaign. Make his events public and force the media to cover him on a daily basis. Set up some town hall meetings type with local candidate. Have Q&A sessions on college campuses. His problem is he is virtually unknown outside of the Mid-Atlantic and didn't capitalize during the Democratic National Convention with his speech. Gaining a spotlight to push his views would help him, he is a likable candidate with good ideas. Mother Jones has called him the candidate with the best environmental record.
Gov, call me. I'm available.

Are you ready for Ambulance Drones?
Essentially a flying toolbox, the first prototype drone is capable of delivering an automated defibrillator (AED) to the point of care along with real-time instructions and communication with a emergency care professional to guide the layperson through the process. AEDs are the same type of defibrillators seen in gyms, malls, and other public places because they can be easily used by bystanders. Once someone has dialed 9-1-1 (or 1-1-2 in the Netherlands) a drone would be dispatched to their location by an operator where it would provide supplies, as well as real-time video and audio support from an emergency professional.

Home Sweet Dumpster: How to Transform a Trash Bin Into a Sustainable Living Space
Having a smaller house also forces people outside to interact with their community and nature, inspiring more potential for collaboration or creativity. It also reduces time spent on practicalities like cleaning and maintenance. I can paint my entire interior faster than most people can clean their house, Wilson said.
Moreover, since the Dumpster is on the university campus, no longer does Wilson need to commute to campus in a car, saving time, money, and vehicle emissions. My commute time has gone from 35 minutes to one minute and 35 seconds, he said.

Senate Bill #1 - Keystone XL Pipeline Approval Act
Think about it. Everything going on in the world, everything going on in this country, and the GOP picks a bill that chiefly benefits a foreign oil corporation as the most important bill. The pick Keystone as the vital bill to try and push through first.
Words cannot describe the pure shittiness of the GOP and their ilk.
Mitch McConnell should be laughed out of office.
No mention of Elizabeth Warren & Elijah Cummings on Morning Joe this morning?
Very supportive of the Obama administration, very critical of the GOP led Congress.
