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”

Can’t wait to see how the democratic establishment loses their entire shit tomorrow.
Alright, time to suck it up, get over it, etc. Vote blue no matter who and keep that Michigan seat in the Dem column www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...
Abdul El-Sayed wins Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary, notching a Midwest victory for the left
The former public health official has defeated Rep. Haley Stevens, NBC News projects, despite facing a huge advertising disadvantage.

BREAKING NBC News projects that @abdulelsayed.bsky.social will win the Democratic U.S. Senate primary in Michigan.
I find it *deeply* depressing that guys like Max Miller and Ken Paxton remain viable candidates for federal legislative positions. At *worst*, 45% of people who can and do vote in their respective elections, will vote for them.
El-Sayed is projected to win the Michigan Democratic Senate primary and will go up against Mike Rogers in November
MI UPDATE: Abdul El-Sayed is currently surpassing expectations across the board in the Michigan Democratic Senate Primary.
Missouri voters have overwhelmingly rejected Amendment 5, the GOP-backed plan to phase out the state income tax and replace it with higher sales taxes
AP numbers at link. Only 1% tabulated thus far (but ~55:40 in favor of El-Sayed :)

I’m just outside A2 and I saw my first and only Stevens sign today…at a polling station. If signs are a good indicator she is cooked 💀
I like how every time republicans or hard centerist dems try to attack Abdul El-Sayed it causes a whole slew of people to see him and realizing he’s smart, affable, and looks like he benches three plates.

Abdul El-Sayed reacts to Republican Mike Rogers' AI ad showing him, Mamdani, AOC, and Bernie as communists inside a Trojan Horse:
"urged donors to “Contribute to pro-Israel Candidates for U.S. Senate,” displaying Stevens and Collins together with preset donation amounts. The joint fundraiser was “paid for and authorized” by both candidates, according to AIPAC." Oof. Birds of a feather, apparently 😒

1.3 million Michigan voters have cast their ballots as of 10 am, about 300,000 more than those in the 2024 primary, according to Michigan Secretary of State's Office
Massive attacks on oil refineries and tankers have brought oil refining in Russia to a minimum level in 20 years. A large-scale campaign of strikes against Russia's fuel and energy complex has led to significant disruptions in oil refining and fuel exports from Black Sea ports.
Congress: “We’ve tried nothing and we’re fresh out of ideas.”
bipartisan political elite aghast that calling someone a communist isn't that damaging and that opposing Israel is now a net positive

Let us not forget that this was a company that planned a few years ago to charge a subscription fee for (checks notes) heated seats.
852dude@852dude.bsky.social · yesterdayThis sucks ass. When I start my car I want to be able to put my foot on the pedal and drive off. I dont want to watch an ad. A distracting ad. Right in the middle of my console. Again. This sucks ass.
I’d be a bit more sympathetic to the DSA panic if their candidates wanted to reward cop beaters, open concentration camps, kill extrajudicially, start wars in the Middle East, and want to be allowed to cheat on taxes.
First-degree burn from the crowd that looks like melted action figures drawn from memory
If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention.
One of my great frustrations with the media is they know Trump is full of shit on things like this. But because they don’t know if he’s lying or delusional they type up neither possibility. But they should be loudly writing that those are the only two possibilities and both are disqualifying!
