Sanders still itching for a convention fight. Swallow wants an evidence hearing. Lee planning to attend the GOP convention.

Happy Friday. Bernie Sanders is still spoiling for a convention fight. Although a draft of the Democratic Party's policy platform found unity among the committee's authors, it appears to still be unpalatable to the Vermont senator. In an email to supporters, Sanders wrote that "we are going to take our political revolution into the halls of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia where we will fight to place a $15 minimum wage, opposition to TPP, and a ban on fracking directly into the Democratic Platform."
