El-Sayed, Lawrence and McKinney all won progressive campaigns in Michigan last night by talking about climate and clean energy like it was a kitchen-table issue — because skyrocketing energy bills and endless wildfire smoke matter to people.

El-Sayed: "Mike Rogers is a guy who wants to put a data center in your backyard so he can make himself feel a little more manly by making an AI video ... he's a guy who went back to Florida so he could lick every single boot Donald Trump owns to bet for his endorsement."

BREAKING: Donavan McKinney has defeated incumbent Shri Thanedar in the MI-13 Democratic Primary! McKinney is an unapologetic progressive while Thanedar is a pro AIPAC pro genocide corporate puppet. A huge win for working people in MI!

Waking up to Sharia Law in NYC is crazy. Knicks won, crime is down, 2,000 toddlers are going to school for free, parents got “date night” with nyc babysitters, they’re building housing on city land, small businesses are saving money and selling ice cream. Its sunny out i should go get one.

I'd like a statement from all Democrats who accept AIPAC money. Would you rather have AIPAC money or control of the Senate? It cannot be both. BTW, this would have been true if Haley Stevens won instead. They aren't going to spend against themselves!

⚠️ AIPAC out with a statement: “Our members remain determined to ensure that voters reject Dr. El-Sayed and his radical anti-Israel agenda in November.”

PRESS RELEASE
AUGUST 5, 2026 • PRESS@AIPAC.ORG
AIPAC Congratulates Pro-Israel Primary Winners in Five States
AIPAC congratulates the 30 pro-Israel candidates who won their primaries in Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Virginia and Washington. With these victories, more than 215 AIPAC-backed candidates from both parties have now advanced to the November general election this cycle.
In Michigan, AIPAC members were proud to stand with Governor Whitmer, Senator Peters, former Senator Stabenow, former Governor Granholm, Attorney General Dana Nessel, and the many others who supported Haley Stevens in the Senate primary, helping her fight for an authentic Democratic agenda for Michigan. Our members remain determined to ensure that voters reject Dr. El-Sayed and his radical anti-Israel agenda in November.
In Missouri's First District, AIPAC congratulates Congressman Wesley Bell on defeating former Representative Cori Bush for the second time. AIPAC members and United Democracy Project were proud to support Bell, a serious, thoughtful leader who delivers for his constituents. In Congress and throughout the race,
, Bush demonized AIPAC's
members, attacked Israel, and refused to condemn Hamas terrorism-and voters made sure she did not make it back to Congress.
In Michigan's 11th District, Haley Stevens' open seat, the pro-Israel community was proud to support State Senator Jeremy Moss in his win over two anti-Israel detractors. Would-be Squad member Aisha Farooqi, who accused Israel of "genocide," called for cutting off all aid to Israel, and disparaged AIPAC members, and Don Ufford, who worked to smear pro-Israel Democrats, both lost-leaving pro-Israel leadership in place as Moss succeeds Stevens in this safe Democratic seat.
While disappointed that some of our AIPAC-backed candidates did not prevail, our community is proud to support pro-Israel Democrats and Republicans who stand for our values, and we are encouraged that voters in races across this primary season continue to bro…

JUST IN: Missouri voters reject Amendment 5, the proposed constitutional amendment that would have given state lawmakers the ability to expand sales and use taxes in order to eliminate the state income tax:

June 2026: second-warmest June on record globally. Hottest June ever for western Europe. Hottest June ocean ever measured. If your memory says "it was like this in the 80s," your brain isn't remembering. It's lying to your face, and you're tipping it.

Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.
