Welcome to Breitbart News’s live updates of the chaotic Democratic National Convention. Monday’s theme is ironically “United Together” and featured speakers include Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), First Lady Michelle Obama, and DREAMers. Outgoing DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz is scheduled to speak, but Democrats are reportedly trying to pressure her not to speak.
Breitbart News will also monitor how mainstream media “reporters” “report” on their home team’s convention.
All times eastern.

FLASHBACK: “It’s not been as widespread as it has been made out to be,” Clinton said of the VA Scandal.
10:36: Trump predicts the “dishonest” media will find a way to spin their home team’s convention:
Wow, the Republican Convention went so smoothly compared to the Dems total mess. But fear not, the dishonest media will find a good spinnnn!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 25, 2016
10:31: According to MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell, Wasserman Schultz was escorted out of her breakfast by security after delegates jeered her after the Wikileaks email leaks.
“I’ve never seen anything like it,” Mitchell reportedly said. “The chair of the Democratic Party, a Congresswoman from Florida, who has bee enormously popular in her district… was absolutely booed by protesting Bernie Sanders supporters, right off of the stage. She had to break off her speech, finally gave up and was escorted out by security. I’ve never seen anything like it.”
10:28: Mook nervously wants the media to “suspend any polling analysis” until after the Dem. convention when asked about Trump’s poll numbers.
10:27: Clinton Press Secretary Brian Fallon says Clinton will “probably” hold a press conference and say Clinton has been answering questions in a variety of formats. False — Clinton last held a gaggle nearly two months ago in Compton, California and has not had a press conference since December of LAST YEAR.
10:25: Mook says the DNC is reviewing all of the information and claims that some of the information may have been “altered” by hackers. [No critical follow-up questions again from reporters as reporters treat Dems. like their favorite kid who messed up while treating Republicans like the stepchild they hate.] Mook says Wasserman Schultz is expected to gavel in the convention.
10:22: Mook gets a question about the Russian government/Wikileaks emails. He’s allowed to spin and there aren’t any critical follow-ups or questions about what evidence he has backing up his assertions. Lapdog “reporters” at work.
10:16: Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager Robby Mook sounds a bit nervous at the DNC briefing as Democrats appear to be more disunited than ever. Mook says Democrats will have an “optimistic”convention.
10:00: Outgoing Chair Wasserman Schultz jeered while addressing her home state delegates:
