2 years in and so much good…

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

I’ve never been more optimistic about America’s future than I am today.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

Correct

[VoteVets @votevets]

🚨JD Vance skipped 45 of the last 45 Senate votes.

Imagine asking for a promotion when you’re not doing your job?

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

While you're watching this, remember that Trump's Project 2025 would:
- Eliminates FEMA
- Eliminates the National Weather Service
- Eliminates federal-backed flood insurance
- Eliminates emergency disaster funding for state/local govts

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Come to think of it, denigrating the worth of a soldier’s service based on whether he deployed to a war zone is… kind of like denigrating the worth of a woman’s citizenship based on whether she happens to have children.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Tim Walz served honorably and well.

Again, this is strategic: team Trump needs us tied up in debates over pre-retirement conditional rank promotions because they are desperate NOT to discuss their (unpopular) policies, like tax cuts for the rich and banning access to abortion.

[Katherine Clark @WhipKClark]

Senate Republicans had the chance to lift 16 million kids out of poverty by expanding the Child Tax Credit.

They voted against it.

Remember this the next time they claim to care about American families.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

I served for years with @GovTimWalz in the house. We always got along well, and when we would argue issues it was always with respect.

He will make a great VP to @KamalaHarris

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

Tim Walz, a Nebraska native, enlisted in the National Guard when he was 17 and served for more than two decades.

He later was a high school social studies teacher and football coach before he won a congressional seat in a largely rural and agricultural district in 2006. @NBCNews @MSNBC

[Josefine @josefine_wi]

I’m a known dem, but we don’t talk politics at the bar around here.

This ad came on & a MAGA guy I know came up to me & said, “I never thought I’d say it, but maybe it’s time we have a woman as president.”

Don’t count us out out here. We’re in for @KamalaHarris 💙

[Alex Vindman 🇺🇸 @AVindman]

Always a great choice picking a U.S. Army Master Sergeant to get it done. Congratulations @GovTimWalz @Tim_Walz !!

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

Tim Walz is a military veteran and former public school teacher.

He served in the House for 12 years, representing a rural district in southern Minnesota.

He was elected governor in 2018 and won re-election in 2022.

[Fred Wellman @FPWellman]

This is what it looks like to actually care about the people who elected you. He didn't parachute in to fun for office. When Republicans wanted a "means test" to keep some kids from getting free lunches he told them to get bent. Feeding kids is an investment. Let's go!

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Can't wait to watch MAGA twist themselves into a pretzel trying to convince America this guy is evil.

[Amber 🇺🇦 @Ambular727]

What a nice bonus!

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

If Kamala Harris and Tim Walz WIN the election, Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, a fellow Democrat, would become Minnesota’s next governor.

She would be the first female governor in Minnesota and the first Native American woman to serve as governor in the country.

[Amber 🇺🇦 @Ambular727]

Ditto!

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

I had my personal preference (Buttigieg), but I'm pretty damn happy with Tim Walz. Excellent choice. Let's go win this thing.

[Rob Israel @robisraelart]

Democratic Governor Tim Walz signing a bill guaranteeing all children get to eat. Republican Sarah Huckabee Sanders signing a bill forcing children to work at the Hog De-Knuckler factory. Both parties are not the same.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]
