A big day for MidPod fan and guest @IAmKrishanPatel. You can hear from this inspiring young activist in our season finale. @ewarren is fortunate to have your support. You give us hope for our country. themidpod.com/podcasts/2018/…
Krishan says he believes in me, and I believe in him! We talked about taking back the Senate in 2020 and getting rid of the filibuster. We're going to do this together, Krishan. Thanks for chipping in.

Today is the 4th anniversary of the death of our beloved son Matthew. It is more wrenching than ever. As I think of him, I also am thinking of others I know who have lost children, the most difficult of all losses. Hug your kids close today. Life is so very fragile.
