Pushback 80
Hi friends. Just back from the California Democratic Party convention, a small taste of which you will read about in the reports of Tim Walz's speech to delegates, of whom I was one. I am working on compiling my thoughts on the weekend. Walz was definitely a highlight, along with Cory Booker. Suffice to say I didn't hear enough about how we will be winning back the House or our state legislative goals for the next year. More to follow. Until then, please know that there are still protests every day in every state, and the GOP are having a tough time holding it together. Keep calling your senators!
