Tim Walz’s endorsement of David Hogg for DNC vice chair is a significant move, continuing a pattern of endorsements that highlights a specific approach to party leadership. This choice, however, is sparking considerable debate and raising questions about the Democratic Party’s strategic direction.

Tim Walz and AOC are set to play Madden together on Twitch, and my excitement for this unlikely pairing is a complex tapestry of irony, symbolism, and a bit of absurdity. I find myself captivated by the idea of two politicians stepping into the virtual arena, battling it out on a platform that typically serves as the stomping ground for gamers, not governors or congresswomen.
