Harris’ running mate Tim Walz talks of ‘bringing the joy’ in his national introduction at DNC





CHICAGO (AP) — Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz accepted his party's nomination for vice president Wednesday night, using his Democratic National Convention address...



I’ve loved Tim since we were teachers at the same high school.

Whether it’s on a farm, fishing boat, or football field, his commitment to service comes from the values we grew up with.

I’m so happy the world now gets to know him. - Gwen Walz

Why Trump Isn't In Jail For Inciting Jan. 6 Is Exactly What Is Wrong With With Our Justice System
Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) went after Donald Trump on Wednesday, using her prime-time platform at the Democratic National Convention to warn voters that his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol is enough evidence he poses an outsized threat to American democracy.




Whenever I see Jan. 6th video, I feel so much raw contempt for the fact that the ringleader of the insurrection is within a few points of becoming president again when he should've been forced to flee the country under an assumed name that very day. Disgustingly unpatriotic. - Bob Cesca









Gus Walz Was All Of Us Last Night
Democratic Vice Presidential nominee Tim Walz’s son Gus Walz burst into tears during his father’s emotional speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Wednesday.

I voted for Shirley Chisholm in 1972, my first time voting for president at age 22. I am thankful to FSU's Strozier Library which was filled with current newspaper and magazine articles about her. When Hillary mentioned her last night, tears came to my eyes. They are now as I write this.
