$1,300 more on goods because of tariffs. $750 more because of a reckless war. Billions added to the president's net worth. If this were your family budget, you'd call an emergency. We are. Vote for Democrats in 90 days. #BlueWaveIn90Days

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that police generally need a warrant to access your phone’s location history because it’s protected under the 4th Amendment. Now the gov needs to show narrow requests with probable cause instead of treating your phone like open data. Small wins.
Our 3 endorsed candidates in Michigan faced over $70 million in combined outside spending. Their people-powered campaigns faced the full weight of a Democratic establishment that’s desperate to maintain the status quo. And all 3 of these real Democratic fighters won! This is a political earthquake!
Major oil firms make $93bn profits in just 3 months amid war and climate crisis. They shift profits, dodge taxes, fuel poverty and inflation. They don't bear the social cost of their business. Forever holding people/govts to ransom. Polluters must pay. Need windfall tax now.

My column on how capital becomes a death cult. Faced with a choice between profit and human life, the radical right chooses profit. Then it tries to persuade us that mass death is what we want. It's the new phase of climate denial: accept your fate, earthlings. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

📌Democratic turnout in the Michigan senatorial primary was OFF THE HOOK. More than 1.5 million votes have been counted. The competitive GOP primary for governor has had but 930,000 votes counted. The Democrats are continuing to prove to be the more motivated party at the polls across America.
Since Nixon, Republicans have shifted wealth from working Americans to the morbidly rich. Dems should repeat that simple affordability message everywhere, every day, without apology or hesitation… hartmannreport.com/p/its-worse-...

A huge congrats to Abdul El-Sayed and the people of Michigan. It’s time for our party to unite and do everything we can to ensure Abdul wins and we flip the Senate. Let’s get money in your pockets and Medicare for All. And thank you to Haley Stevens for your service to your district and the country.
This December when the Medicaid cuts from Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill really start, we will all be in trouble. My son who suffers from cystic fibrosis is on a medicine that costs $380. 00 a year. I have stage four cancer and Medicaid covers the cost. Who knows after December. People will die .
Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.
Congratulations to @donavanmckinney.bsky.social on a huge win for working families in MI-13! In addition to overcoming millions in outside spending, Donavan defeated a multimillionaire incumbent who enriched himself in office and voted to enrich Trump. This is how we build a better Democratic Party!
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."
🎉 Pro-tip: Look for the candidates saying things like this today
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?"
One thing people should notice, Dems are turning out in almost 2X the numbers of GOP in Michigan so far for this
Big tax results out of Missouri tonight: Voters statewide rejected by an huge margin a GOP ballot measure to phase out the income tax. They also renewed a sales tax to keep state parks free. And Kansas City approved a package of $1.7 billion of bonds for infrastracture.
🚨 @abdulelsayed.bsky.social just secured a game-changing win! Despite the status quo Democratic establishment lining up behind his opponent and special interests flooding millions into this race, Abdul's people-powered campaign won. Being a real Democratic fighter is good policy and good politics!
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”
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…
