Ohso poor Julián and Kamala set a poor example!
IN TODAY’S EMAIL: Stephen, I’m putting the DNC on notice. I’m not interested in a handout for the debate stage. I’m not asking for anybody to change the rules of the game in the middle of it. But it’s time for our party to make some big changes. It’s time for the DNC to[...]
