About Gaza, those who asked for an end to the massive killing had an essential request. I'm glad they could make it.

Pray for a knock out debate. She’ll prep hard. He’ll vamp.

Thoughts...

What a difference 56 years makes for Democrats and Chicago.

I like Doug Emhoff a lot now that he's introduced himself properly to the party and the world.

We genetic Democrats are rightly proud that we've nominated the new generation of progressive leaders for the long-term vision they present and strive to realize.

Donald Trump belongs in prison for life because of his "beautiful" insurrection.

Jonathan is entirely right here. And I do agree that the Democratic party adults were also entirely right to ‘convince’ Biden to get out. I did object to some of, language used to characterize Biden as he was obviously in mid passage,toward a decision. Anyone who has served the country as ling and as well as he had does,not deserve to be insulted. But this piece is in every respect’vastly superior to the piece written yesterday by the Economist. That piece is a long diatribe about why doesn’t Harris’do what they want and ‘clarify’ her policy stances so they can then shred them. Her obligation right now is to win in a battle against the most dangerous man ever to run for the presidency.

Despite Biden's obvious flaws, I thought it was too late to replace him. I was wrong. Kamala Harris is amazingly fired up to win, and dare I hope that she is gonna whup Trump's fat ***?

HOWEVER, I insist that Dem Chair Jaime Harrison start raising Hell (for a change) and demand to know why the "other" major party nominated a CONVICTED FELON for its presidential candidate. Now that RFK,Jr. has endorsed Trump, should not the headlines read "HEROIN JUNKIE ENDORSES CONVICTED FELON!"?

I will do whatever I can to help her and Walz. Thanks for keeping us informed.

So well written and spot on.

I remember each of the recent DNC events. ( 1976-84-2004). This one seems to have an enormously positive vibe.

Harris is prepared, intelligent and resourceful.

The GOP is not ready for this team.

It was an incredible and inspiring week at the DNC. This excitement for Kamala Harris at the DNC is unlike anything I’ve ever seen in politics.

Kamala and Tim are the right ticket to lead us into our next American chapter. Period.

Let’s work together to get this done WITH JOY!

That's why I ENJOY wearing this "Kamala removes orange stains" t-shirt everywhere I go 🤣 👇

MAGAs are upset those at the DNC were filled with hope, JOY and enthusiasm. They are jealous!

Can’t wait to say “Madam President.” I just love when history is being made!
