Tim Walz is the dad an entire generation wish they had instead of the one they lost to Fox News.

[Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke]

Met Tim Walz on my first day in Congress, sat next to him on Veterans Affairs committee for the following six years. No one fought harder for veterans. And he did it by bringing Democrats and Republicans together to get the job done.

As Governor of Minnesota he codified abortion rights, implemented background checks, legalized marijuana, passed paid family leave, restored voting rights and invested more than $1 billion in affordable housing. Not bad.

And before any of this, he was a high school teacher, football coach and a 24-year veteran of the army national guard.

He also happens to be a terrific dad and husband — there isn’t a conversation I’ve had with him where he doesn’t bring up his kids, always with the biggest smile on his face.

We became friends in Congress, going on early morning runs (in the dead of DC winter, I’m bundled in layers and he’s wearing a t-shirt and shorts), talking Minnesota music, the Replacements (Tim!), Prince, Dylan, Husker Du, and sharing stories about our families and hometowns.

In a business that prioritizes transactional relationships, he’s always been good to me, reaching out when I’m up, reaching out when I’m down, just being a good friend. And in a profession that encourages poll-testing and focus groups and political corporate speak, he’s always himself, the real deal. Common sense, kindness and empathy.

I couldn’t be more excited that he’s on the ticket, couldn’t be more energized to do everything I can to help Vice President Harris and Governor Walz win the most important election of our lives.

Let’s go!

She is just getting started. This is going to get bigger. Button up.

Obvious. Bet he was a fun teacher when he was back in the classroom. Love this guy.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (DFL) explains why he rejected Republican lawmakers' attempts to means-test school meals for K-12 students:

"The haves and the have-nots in the school lunchroom is not a necessary thing. Just feed our children."

[Maya Contreras @mayatcontreras]

Yep.

Love the headline in Gothamist: 'Politicians start passing NY's $229B budget. Nobody's happy about it...'
Good stuff in the budget -
*free school meals for all
*no tuition increase for SUNY & CUNY students
*subst. casino revenue to MTA
*expand Empire Child Tax Credit

There is a “no words” story coming out of McCurtain Co today involving county leaders discussing killing local journalists, flagrant racism & mocking a woman’s death from an arson. This is a community paper w/no online presence.

Billionaire Harlan Crow Bought Property From Clarence Thomas. The Justice Didn’t Disclose the Deal. https://t.co/eQHzJAvtBL

[Andrew Bechard @andybechard]

Oh boy…

[Andrew Bechard @andybechard]

@NBCNews Why did the Justice disclose such gifts prior to 2004, and then stop when the LA Times reported on it and asked the Justice for comment? Perhaps the Justice repeatedly broke the Ethics in Government Act for almost two decades? Why won't the Court comment? https://t.co/GOS84LDVJW
