On Wednesday, the DNC announced the schedule for the Democratic debates, confirming that the party will hold only six debates before the primary. According to TPM's Caitlin MacNeal, Bernie Sanders, who asked the DNC to expand its debate schedule in June, said on Thursday that he will continue “working with the DNC to see if we can significantly expand the proposed debate schedule.”

BUZZING: Today in the Hive
From a TPM Prime member: "Handcuffs for a traffic ticket? Wow, talk about overkill, and how interesting it is that police don't think twice about using that overkill. I really, really hope this problem gets addressed. I can see that this could generate revenue for the system because more people would be willing to clear their records if they didn't have to interact with the criminal justice system over petty offenses like parking fines. The more people are dragged, against their will, into the system, the more incidents will happen. I also think this gives cops the feeling that pretty much everyone is a perp waiting to be taken in. 1.2 million outstanding arrest warrants!?"
