Ben Shapiro fighting for his life to point out that you can’t use nominal prices as a measure of much of anything. Probably a bad idea for a political movement to roll into office promising deflation.
We’ve update our Medicaid enrollment tracker and the news for children isn’t good. Since January 2025 there has been a shocking drop of 2.3 million kids enrolled in Medicaid/CHIP. This means the child uninsured rate is likely going up.
Sayed currently winning by less than 1% so this is needed and necessary to bring everyone together ASAP More people need to grow up and learn this lesson. All that matters is a Democrat winning in November in every race across the country
Sahil Kapur@sahilkapur.bsky.social · 2h agoWithin hours of the primary result, Democrats elites are rallying around winner Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan. Haley Stevens plus Schumer, Gillibrand/DSCC, Whitmer, Slotkin, Gary Peters, Jim Clyburn all swiftly embraced him. He faces Trump-endorsed Republican Mike Rogers this fall.

This should 100% be done to all of Trump's cronies at HHS/FDA/CDC because they were very obviously making backroom deals too for Trump Rx
Yashar Ali 🐘@yasharali.bsky.social · 3h agoBREAKING via WSJ A Senate panel investigating Dr. Anthony Fauci has obtained a copy of the iPhone he used while he was working at HHS. Full Story: on.wsj.com/454Q13z
The GOP campaign against El Sayed will probably be the most deranged we've ever seen, especially since the media basically treats anti-Arab or anti-Muslim rhetoric as acceptable and the electorate as a whole cares less about it compared to other groups or religions.
This isn't happening and Carlson has already laid the groundwork for supporting Vance by trying to propagandize his low performing listeners into thinking Vance is not at fault for this administrations actions with Israel and Iran.
David Gilbert@davidgilbert.bsky.social · 11h agoNEW A group of anti-Trump MAGA figures are prepping to run a third-party candidate for president in 2028. The name at the top of their list: Tucker Carlson www.wired.com/story/maga-i...
Enemy of the people, but also extremely dumb.
❀°。Der Siebenschläfer *.ﾟ✿ ⋆@sababausa.bsky.social · 11h agoIf you want a sense of how deranged the media is about Musk, Fareed Zakaria described Musk's promise as an "ambitious goal" and brought in astrophysicist Janna Levin for an interview, and she opened with "it's going to be extremely challenging, yet I think it's achievable" youtu.be/-FCEEFaKyK4?...
Hopefully this means Dems are feeling pressure to quickly consolidate & let bygones be bygones

NBC Calls it for Abdul El-Sayed to win the Democratic nomination for Senate in Michigan. We're waiting on AP call and another network.
the median midwestern voter loves two things: electing republicans and thwarting republican policy goals via ballot referendum
TBF this guy is sort of a Republican in name only at this point and he's 66 so doesn't really have much of a political future?
Walker Bragman@walkerbragman.bsky.social · 22h agoAnd this is why people hate the Dem establishment. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/04/u...
I do think AES has done enough to win. And I just want to say, start to finish, maybe my least favorite federal primary ever. Even if you like AES as I do, this whole primary was extremely damaging and an enormous waste of money (think about how much progs had to burn here to keep pace...crazy)
regardless of which candidate you support I really hate this bit where pundits pretend being electable in a primary makes you electable in the general election just ask senators Hershel Walker, Blake Masters, Todd Akin, Richard Mourdock, and Sharron Angle how that worked out for them
First NYT estimate is AES+2, but well within the MOE right now 😵💫
Dj@djsoke.bsky.social · 23h agoIt’s not clear to me that AES will win, because some counties are tabulating eday *first,* but I don’t think I’ll be able to stay up for the results lmao
I’m gonna lose leftist cred for this, but I think McMorrow would’ve won this primary 60/40 over either candidate
It's gonna be really funny after all this if either of these two are more gracious in defeat than Crockett was with Talarico
Jeff Fecke@jkfecke.bsky.social · 24h agoOh good, it looks like Michigan will be close, that will definitely make everyone happy and make it easy to coalesce around the winner.
it seems clear that El Sayed is going to underperform his polls really badly in Michigan whether he wins or loses

Oh so now it's illegal for men to update women on their whereabouts
