Statement from Barack and Michelle #Obama:

"By selecting Tim #Walz to be her vice president from a pool of outstanding Democrats, Kamala #Harris has chosen an ideal partner – and made it clear exactly what she stands for. Governor Walz doesn't just have the experience to be vice president, he has the values and the integrity to make us proud." #HarrisWalz2024

In March 2023, #Walz signed an exec order to the right of residents to have access to #GenderAffirming #HealthCare. Weeks later, he signed the "#TransRefuge" bill, banning the enforcement of arrest warrants, extradition requests & out-of-state subpoenas for those who traveled to Minnesota for care.

"When someone else is given basic rights, others don't lose theirs," Walz said. "We aren't cutting a pie here. We're giving basic rights to every single Minnesotan."

#Walz has a long history of supporting #LGBTQIA+ rights. While teaching at #Mankato West High School in the 90s, he helped found its first #GayStraightAlliance group.

"You have an older, #White, #straight, #married, male #football coach who's deeply concerned that these students are treated fairly & that there is no #bullying," Walz said in a 2018 campaign ad.

Scoop: Tim Walz cemented his nomination this weekend when, on his way out after his interview with Harris, he unprompted changed the oil in her car.

Polls have been getting more and more inaccurate in recent years for a variety of reasons.

Take nothing for granted. Get everyone you can to the polls, even in deep red states. There's actually a chance that a few deep red states could flip thanks to the abortion issue.

And if you live in a blue state, we need a win by the biggest possible margins to push the mandate narrative and to overcome possible post-election shenanigans.

A university in Netherlands opened all academic vacancies to women. If after 6 months, no suitable female applicant was found, men could apply. After centuries of systematic exclusion for women, when men have to wait a mere 6 months, they file complaints.

Regrettably though, Donald Trump will be in the news for years as his criminal and civil cases make progress, but if enough Americans vote blue this fall we will never have to worry about him again at least.

It’s actually pretty damn simple: Vote for Kamala Harris and you never have to think about Donald Trump ever again, for the rest of your life.

“The behavior we have seen today in #Liverpool city center is completely unacceptable,” Jenny Sims, the asst chief constable for the #Merseyside Police, said. “What should have been a sunny Saturday on the historic waterfront to be enjoyed by people of all ages turned into an afternoon of unashamed #disorder & #violence, which potentially put decent members of the public, including children, at risk.”
