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!

During my primary race, some folks said similar things about me. That I wasn’t actually Black cause my mom is Cuban. Or that I’m not actually Latino because I’m Black.

We need to fiercely call out this type of bigotry and ignorance.

@deepseadawn Wow! Looks scrumptious!

@Tam5 Feel better soon!

Today, Florida’s 6-Week Abortion Ban goes into effect. A near total ban that rips away the human right of bodily autonomy from our people.

This Election Day, we can fight back & codify abortion rights. Vote #YesOn4 and Organize others. Get involved 👉🏾 https://t.co/VfbWAgBkCG

Matt Walsh is under the impression that transgender people have done nothing. On Trans Day of Visibility, lets look at some of the contributions, accomplishments, and amazing things transgender people have done.

We have always been here.

For decades, Tribes have been on the frontlines of the climate crisis without the resources they need to adapt and plan. This funding will help more than 100 Tribes protect their homelands, communities and the places they've stewarded for millennia. https://t.co/rWd5KW3zhB

@Geoderma_Jrnl @TU_Muenchen Looks like a great paper! Soils under organic management could retain more C as time goes on depending on the managment.

WATCH: The first ad of our spring media campaign.

Donald Trump takes care of Donald Trump. President Biden fights for you.

[Fred Guttenberg @fred_guttenberg]

To all MAGAT's using Laken Riley, where were you when my daughter was killed by a teenage American male? Where were you when Trump lied about the Parkland murder? You don't give two f-cks about Laken or her parents, just as you don't about victims of gun violence by Americans.

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett @RepJasmine]

Y'ALL. LIE.

[John McQueen @j_fuzzy]

@reggaj Yeah, once in a while. He lives in FL and when I visit I get to take it for a spin. Such a blast, like nothing else.

Here is the "Doonesbury" cartoon that Gannett removed from ALL of their newspapers this past Sunday. That's almost 400 news papers including USA Today.
