For all of Trump’s chest-thumping about the potency of his endorsements, especially in GOP primaries, three Trump-backed Republicans have lost in the last two months. The Amir Hassan example in Michigan, however, is clearly the most embarrassing. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Trump-endorsed candidate loses congressional primary to a rival who had quit the race

For the third time in two months, Republican primary voters simply ignored the president’s advice, despite weird boasts about his intraparty powers.

Sen. BLUMENTHAL: ‘I’m his lawyer’ is what Todd Blanche said in his confirmation hearing. He had no intention of saying it, but he let it slip. And it was a glaring illustration of his mindset. He was, is now, and will forever be Donald Trump’s personal lawyer.

A challenge for y'all.... Can we get this pack to 300 shares? 😁

Abdul El-Sayed wins Michigan Senate primary in major victory for Democrats’ progressive wing

Abdul El-Sayed has won Michigan’s Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate, defeating U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens in a massive victory for the party’s progressive wing in a battleground state.

El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."

So you can’t afford groceries, gas, healthcare, utilities, or your mortgage. But hey, I got gold horses.

The science is crystal clear - there can be no new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea. Andy Burnham must stop Rosebank, stop Jackdaw and make polluters pay for the destruction they are causing.

JUST IN: Trump is scrambling to stop the BBC from digging into the finances of his business empire after a judge ordered him to hand over records in his $10B defamation lawsuit against the network.

El-Sayed: "Mike, I'm gonna say it right now, I know you're gonna say no because you're a coward: Five debates, alright? ... By the time we're done, you are not gonna have safe quarter from people holding you accountable to what you've done for them here in Michigan. We will send you back to Florida"

Worth a watch. Never knew Whoopi’s role as Sister Mary Clarence in Sister Act was originally intended for Bette Midler. Can you imagine?? Legit can’t even picture anyone other than Whoopi playing this role. Love hearing Black Elders talk about their experiences. ✨

NEWS: Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) just dropped out of his re-election race at 3:32 a.m.m. He said he’s done running but will finish out his term. This after the House Ethics Committee found “substantial reason to believe [he] violated House Rules related to sexual harassment and hostile workplaces.”

Michigan just proved something the political establishment doesn’t want to admit: When we organize, we WIN! Now, let’s make it happen again on Tuesday, August 11. Join @indivisible.org’s phonebank for @peggyflanagan.bsky.social on Monday and help us keep up the momentum.

Everyone’s expectations got skewed over the past week but Abdul El-Sayed getting $70 million spent against him in a state he lost a primary by like 20 points eight years ago and still winning last night is probably the most impressive electoral accomplishment of the decade.
