Barbara Lee and Delores Huerta have already endorsed Kamala
https://twitter.com/BLeeForCongress/status/1096202185296220160Dolores Huerta Endorses Kamala Harris
I have spent my career advocating for workers rights, immigrants rights, womens rights, and on behalf of the LBGTQ community because I believe our country is only as great as the opportunities we afford all our communities, Huerta said. Senator Kamala Harris is the right leader to expand those opportunities as president, and I am proud to endorse her.
Huerta also praised Harris, whom shes supported in the past, for fighting on behalf of and giving a voice to the vulnerable and singled out her work on criminal justice reform and for immigrants, ranging from creating innovative programs to help first-time offenders get education and job training to avoid recidivism, to demanding that California and our country protect immigrant communities and afford them the opportunity to fully contribute to the country they love.
For Harris, who since ascending to the Senate in 2016 has prioritized shielding immigrants and specifically the Dreamers from deportation, Huerta is an important validator, and not only in her home state of California Huerta comes from a Mexican immigrant family and was raised in Stockton but also neighboring Nevada, which stands to provide its winner a boost of momentum heading into Super Tuesday.
Huerta, a past recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Eleanor Roosevelt Award for Human Rights, has been active in California politics for decades. She was on stage with Robert Kennedy at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles the night he won the primary and was later assassinated.

Oh Mahalo, yardwork! My son took this Rainbow
pic today! I saw one earlier on the bus in my neck of the woods but it wasn't nearly as bright and full arc as the Rainbow in his neighborhood!
Good Evening to You!

And, this makes no sense..
Why would Michael Sanchez send his sister's private texts to the Enquirer if he believed that?!
But, what's this last paragraph.. ?! It doesn't make
sense if Michael Sanchez is the one who leaked his sister's private texts to the enquirerer.
From your link..
The identity of the Enquirers source was only one of the many mysteries in a tale that is sordid and tangled, even by supermarket tabloid standards. Still unresolved: why Sanchez allegedly supplied the information to the Enquirer; why the Enquirer promoted a story about Bezos with such vigor; what, if anything this had to do with the Enquirers long-standing support for Trump; why its parent company was so bothered by the suggestion that it was motivated by external forces, political or otherwise; and why AMI tried to later coerce Bezos with a previously-unreleased d*ck pick.
And, this makes no sense..
Documents reviewed by The Daily Beast show that Michael Sanchez believed the Enquirer pursued its story about Bezos with President Trump's knowledge and appreciationa chase encouraged, in Sanchezs estimation, by Republican operatives who THINK Jeff gets up every morning and has a WaPo meeting to plot its next diabolical attack on President Trump.
Why would Michael Sanchez send his sister's private texts to the Enquirer if he believed that?!
