Hey everyone, don’t forget that Hillary is holding a big fundraising gala in Philadelphia tonight!
$1,000 or a $27,000 bundle gets you into a private acoustic set with Bon Jovi.
The event is sponsored by Franklin Square Capital Partners, a $17,000,000,000 Wall Street investment firm.
Besides boosting Clinton, the event allows the Franklin Square officials to showcase their firm for a high-powered audience. Franklin Square employs Ivy League-educated money managers and salespeople with experience at big Wall Street firms - plus four personal trainers and a dietitian to keep staff happy and productive amid the gym, yoga and nap rooms, Sol LeWitt art installations, and fancy cafeteria.

And it just so happens that Franklin Square is heavily invested in fossil fuel companies, including offshore drilling and fracking — for which Hillary has been an expert global salesperson.
UPDATE: It should be noted that tomorrow’s big Wall Street fundraiser in NYC, hosted by BlackRock (the world’s largest asset management firm), has been rescheduled for Feb. 16. I guess back to back big money fundraisers days before a primary is a little much.
