This is new: Kamala Harris is actually talking about her record. Not in response to a question from someone in the crowd but talking about what she did to prosecute sexual assault cases and her creation of Back on Track, things she says were “in the name for the people”

Kitchen table conversation has turned to @MomsDemand and the NRA “Why are you guys talking about guns?” the youngest asks “So you don’t have to worry about it,” Harris says

On this tour of small businesses in Des Moines, Harris has run into at least four school aged kids on the street. “Why aren’t you in school?” she’s been asking. (It’s lunch hour for them apparently)

Y’all. Right before this she said Trump was using this as a political tactic and said, “I have no support for it whatsoever.” Read the whole tweet thread from reporters before you do this 👇🏽

Kitchen table issues — literally. Tonight, Kamala Harris is making salad with a family in Ames, Iowa 🥗 So far, we’ve heard a lot of talk about school. And how to make salad dressing. And what olive oil tastes like.

Warren draws around 7,000 in Seattle (including overflow crowd). She starts her remarks congratulating Sanders for winning the Nevada caucus... and then immediately slams Bloomberg for trying to buy the election.

I am deeply concerned about the threat that coronavirus poses. Trump’s stumbling response is putting American lives and the economy at greater risk. I offered a plan ten days ago, and today I updated it based on the latest data and expert recommendations.

Gender and power dynamics pretty much always include women being held to different standards. As more women gain power, especially in government, we’ve seen more women call out the double standard. What is equally worth watching is if, when and how men speak up, too.

Dr. Biden earned her degrees through hard work and pure grit. She is an inspiration to me, to her students, and to Americans across this country. This story would never have been written about a man.

After her hit ended, @KamalaHarris cracked up and said “there’s kind of a lot of sound going on,” and then turned to @amyklobuchar while her hit was still going and whispered, “You’re doing great, Amy!”
