Never has a bigger statement been made about climate change, than the Democrats deciding to have the #DNC in South Philly in July.

Deeney also tweets locals should use the DNC as an opportunity to gain traction to rebuild Philly’s public schools. This is a good plan; even this conservative I found arguing with Chris Matthews on Twitter is of the same mindset.

And you thought you could get through a roundup of DNC tweets without some Sixers commentary! That’s right: With Michael Carter-Williams hurt, Robert Covington will replace him in the Rising Stars Challenge on Friday night. Look, the Covington news is almost as big as the DNC for Philly’s hoops fans. This is a great time to be alive in Philadelphia.

I love that Philly duped Debbie Wasserman-Schultz into thinking it's a 15-min walk from Wells Fargo Center to downtown hotels. #DNC2016

Yes, this is what Debbie Wasserman Schultz said at the press conference today. Perhaps by 2016 all Democrats will be riding bicycles and it will be a 15-minute trip down to the sports complex. The Philadelphia Business Journal reports the DNC believes Philly’s organizers will not have trouble raising money for the convention. Let’s hope so!
#DNC2016 Philly seems like the perfect opportunity for Hillary to get drunk at McGillin's and announce her candidacy after fighting someone

Tip for national reporters writing about #DNC2016 in Philly: Forget cheesesteaks, add in a smart roast pork reference instead.

And, from Citified‘s Patrick Kerkstra:
The DNC, the Pope, the skyline, the growing population… Philly really has the big mo’ right now. Plea to the next mayor: don’t fuck it up.
