Sanders: The irony is that the proper criticism of communism is that the Soviet Union was an authoritarian society.  And then you’ve got the most authoritarian president in the history of this country. So I suppose when he says, “I’d be a great communist,” yeah, I think there’s some truth to that

Maybe if we didn’t attack other people’s water supplies and threaten to bomb them into smithereens. … And maybe if red states hadn’t sued EPA for trying to protect our water supply. … Hacks on U.S. Water Supply Follow Years of Warnings and Neglect www.nytimes.com/2026/08/05/u...

🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump says Abdul El-Sayed is “full of shit.” Trump says he’s a communist who will bring “filth, crime, death, destruction, embarrassment. You lose your home.” Talk about reflection. Sounds like America under Trump’s leadership!

Democrats are ‘united by a common purpose,’ Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand say in joint statement

Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.

The “Barack HUSSEIN Obama” people are going to go all in on racism in Michigan.

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"

Michigan Democrats chose Abdul El-Sayed because he’s a fighter willing to stand up to the tyrant in the Oval Office. Corporate Democrats like Chuck Schumer aren't up to the task because they won’t bite the corporate hands that feed them.

The Real Meaning of El-Sayed's Victory

It's not what you're hearing

robertreich.substack.com

On a private call, Todd Blanche said his goal was to make the "Dobbs decision permanent in every single state." This isn’t just a confirmation vote anymore—it’s a roll-call vote on which Senators endorse BANNING abortion in ALL 50 states. I’m voting NO.

If only Molly Ivins was still alive to satirize these nuts.

Texas Legislature has the dumb

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."

I did NOT vote for him. 😡 Don't blame me.

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Folks from the Women's March have been arrested at the Capitol for protesting ICE. Shout out to the women who are putting their lives and livelihoods on the line to get their message out: ABOLISH ICE.

Jenifer Lewis said it best: 35.9 million people sat out 2024, and we don’t let that shit happen again. Not this time. Not with 90 days on the clock and everything on the line. Speak out, knock louder, make it impossible to ignore. It’s on all of us to flip it all blue. #BlueWaveIn90Days

These right-wing white guys love emphasizing in an obviously not so coded way any name that sounds Arabic or Muslim. Think Trump with his repeated references to “Barack HUSSEIN Obama”

Gross — Mike Rogers 🤥 is already lying about @abdulelsayed.bsky.social, saying he said “🇺🇸 deserved 9/11” (he did not) He also says “I’ve never seen someone so radical and extreme get nominated”😵‍💫 The fearmongering and lies is so laughably predictable and stale

Racism will never bring down the cost of groceries or gas.

Good for her!! Glad to see this.

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

First - Get out the money Then - get out the vote

Big Truth here. Haley Stevens received over $30 million from AIPAC, not to mention the awful ad hominem advertisements targeting AES.

Abdul El Sayed talkin bout being outspent 11:1 but lookin like his supporters got a win regardless. It’s a nice twist on “get the money out of politics” to instead be like “we can defeat the money”

I'm a Democrat, but support a lot of the DSA platform, like universal healthcare and childcare, and worker protections, and safety nets for struggling people. And let's not forget environmental protections. These are not radical ideas.

Doctors say that you should eat a balanced diet that includes whole grains and fresh fruits and vegetables. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seat seats and doesn’t wipe his ass says you should subsist entirely on sauerkraut and steak. For a busy eaters it can be hard to know who to trust.

Nah, Politico, Abdul El-Sayed won. People voted for a more progressive candidate even though he was outspent 10-1 $ by his opponent who tried to fear-monger.
