“Michelle is a classy woman and that she has to remind us to ignore our tendency to nitpick and worry that a bill or a stance or a decision is not perfect, is a reminder that democracy is incremental, messy, but must advance at all costs.”

I've tried to stay away from conjecture but it wouldn't surprise me at all if Beyonce shows up and performs with them given their histories. The symbolism on that would be pretty hard to resist given how The Chicks were treated in the 90s and how Bey was treated at the CMAs.
