Making her primetime Democratic National Convention debut, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York on Monday night gave a rousing call to arms to elect nominee Vice President Kamala Harris and "deliver on an ambitious agenda for the people."
"We choose a new path, and open the door to a new day, one that is for the people and by the people," she said.
In a marked departure from her 90-second introduction of Sen. Bernie Sanders at the 2020 DNC, Ocasio-Cortez was given a primetime speaking slot on the first night of this year's DNC. Ocasio-Cortez, who was first elected in 2018, reminded Democrats of her own working-class roots, saying Republicans want her to "go back to bartending."

Robert Morris, founding pastor of Gateway Church, a megachurch in Southlake, Texas, has been indicted on five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child, stemming from alleged incidents dating back to the 1980s, the Oklahoma attorney general's office announced Wednesday. We are aware of the actions being taken by the legal authorities in Oklahoma and are grateful for the work of the justice system in holding abusers accountable for their actions. We continue to pray for Cindy Clemishire and her family, for the members and staff of Gateway Church, and for all of those impacted by this terrible situation.
