I hope it gets pinned at the top and regularly updated. And bookmarked. This information, if it's available more broadly, might encourage others to endorse him as well.

The anti-Bernies (can't stoop to calling them "haters&quot constantly crow that he has very few endorsements, as part of their despicable campaign to discourage and depress us.

You've been doing good things this morning, Bubzer!

And some surprises. Ann Rice? I thought she was a Republican, for some reason.

Anyway, I'm sure there will be many more to add to the list as the months go by.
