Remember when John Kerry was Swiftboated by Chris LaCivita who is doing it to Tim Walz now? Guess who funded it? Harlan Crow, the billionaire who has been lavishing freebies on Clarence Thomas.
I have never posted that gif of some muppet running around happily but if I posted gifs and could remember with any specificity what that one was, I would post it right now: a muppet with their hands in the air running around ecstatically.
One of the many extremely appealing things about Walz is that he doesn’t appear to have had a grand plan to take over the universe. He appears to have gone into politics because he likes helping people, and risen because he’s really good at that. What a concept!

With today's big news, speculation is rampant about who @KamalaHarris's Vice Presidential pick will be. One name floated has been North Carolina's own Governor @RoyCooperNC.
For those of y'all not from NC - welcome. Allow us to introduce you to Governor Cooper. 🧵👇
