I've been on Team McGovern for a while now and as we approach the summer months I’m reminded of all the public events we should be doing right now. I think about our community outreach picnics, the annual Pride parades across the district, and training new groups of volunteers and fresh graduate interns.

Thanks, Timehop.

The world looks really different right now. We're in uncharted territory in so many ways as a campaign, a community, and a country.

Today is Juneteenth, and I'd like to amplify the words of Jamelle Bouie in his Op-Ed for the New York Times yesterday:

"Juneteenth may mark just one moment in the struggle for emancipation, but the holiday gives us an occasion to reflect on the profound contributions of enslaved black Americans to the cause of human freedom. It gives us another way to recognize the central place of slavery and its demise in our national story. And it gives us an opportunity to remember ... that our experiment in liberty owes as much to the men and women who toiled in bondage as it does to anyone else in this nation's history."

The number of things the Trump administration has tried to slide past the American people during the Coronavirus crisis is unthinkable. The latest? They're working towards privatizing the United States Postal Service, a move that would cut hundreds of thousands of jobs all in the name of greed.

We count on the mail to deliver medication to seniors and supplies to hospitals, to keep commerce alive during the pandemic, and to safeguard our democracy by distributing vote-by-mail ballots.
