Twitter has its faults ... lots of them actually. But one thing I see on Bluesky more than I ever remember seeing on Twitter is plagiarism of posts. It's dissapointing. Somehow I thought that left leaning people would be better than that.

El-Sayed on Islamophobia: "That's the only play they got. They're gonna point at me, they're gonna point at my name, like, 'Wow, he's different.' That's the best you got? You can't actually talk about what you want to do? My name is not raising your gas prices. My name is now taking us to war."
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"
🚨BREAKING: Missouri voters have rejected a ballot measure to limit their own ability to pass amendments to the state constitution — a proposal that fueled extraordinarily high voter turnout in Tuesday’s election. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Missouri voters reject ballot measure limiting their power to amend state constitution
Notably, the proposed amendment would not have affected constitutional amendments that the legislature put on the ballot. State lawmakers only wanted to make it harder to pass a voter-led measure, not...

Story of many many Americans lives.. the medical stuff shouldn’t be political But somehow that has become Toxic too????
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…
The smartest thing Schumer could've done today would've been to immediately congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on his victory in the Michigan Democratic primary. It would make him look like he's capable of learning from mistakes and it would help unite the party, increasing chances of winning in Nov.
Prepare for an insane explosion of Islamophobia between now and November, from the same people on the right (and center!) who pretend to be exercised by the rise in anti-Jewish bigotry. The hate will be off the charts and make the anti-Zohran campaign look tame. Mark my words.
Republicans will put on a brave face and publicly say they’re delighted over candidates like El-Sayed winning, making it sound like they’re super confident. This has worked in the past by scaring establishment Dems. Don’t let them fool you. They’re terrified of candidates like El-Sayed.
Former challenger Mallory McMorrow: “Congratulations to Abdul El-Sayed for winning the Democratic primary to become our nominee to be Michigan’s next US Senator. I’m proud to give Abdul my full endorsement and support as we head to November together as a unified party”
Abdul El-Sayed’s win represents a big blow to the politics of bygone days. Because if one campaign can show that *that* much money and *that* much old guard support doesn’t guarantee victory, it cracks open what can be imagined. It widens the aperture of what’s possible.
Will This Be AIPAC’s Biggest Defeat – Ever?
Prem was on hand in Michigan to witness the nail-biter between Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens, which appears to have gone down as an astonishing failure for AIPAC.

You could say Abdul El-Sayed won despite $64 million being spent against him… one may also wonder if he won *because* of it
NYT just called El-Sayed the winner of the Michigan Democratic primary for US Senator 🇺🇸🥳
📌Susan Collins is voting "no" on the repulsive Blanche because she has been given political cover by Thune. Her vote doesn't matter. This isn't a heroic decision, it is pure politics, and whether anybody wants to admit it or not it's how she has survived like a parasite in that chamber for 30 years.
This went a little different than his nightly interviews with Sean Hannity.

The hits just keep coming. Austin plans to cut food programs like the Food Bank by over $500K. Everywhere you look programs for the vulnerable are on the chopping block. By next year, seniors' medical and nutritional safety will be on the ledge youtu.be/yhUow7sKOSc?...

RFKJr claims Lyme disease was created by scientists,which is the closest he’s come to admitting that science exists. Meanwhile, Ötzi the Iceman, who died more than 5.3K years ago, had Lyme disease. Apparently prehistoric humans are part of the conspiracy. Get me off this timeline
Just imagine how Repubs would be react if Biden, Obama or any Dem president in the future were just 1% as corrupt, 1% as sleepy, 1% as incompetent, 1% as insane or 1% of simply being a horrible human being as Trump is. Now just imagine how Dems need to hold them 100% accountable because of this.
It's not just Elon Musk. Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffett, and every multibillionaire built their fortunes the same way: by NOT paying taxes as their wealth grew. Without endless tax deferrals, they'd have a tiny fraction of what they own today. It's time they pay their fair share.
NEW: Israel has imprisoned an American teen. Soldiers raided Adam's West Bank home right before his sister’s grad party. They ignored his US passport. As they took him, they blew kisses at his mom. Adam is now the second American in Israeli prison. Trump just hosted Netanyahu for the eighth time.
