New Yorker: On Tuesday night, Michigan’s Democrats backed El-Sayed in his gamble that an aggressive, combative, and at times divisive approach to politics will work in a swing state. “If perfectly inoffensive was what wins Michigan,” El-Sayed told me, “Donald Trump would never have won Michigan.”

The Electability of Abdul El-Sayed

Abdul El-Sayed won Michigan’s Democratic primary with an unapologetically progressive platform—and a total defiance of the Party establishment.

Been to Scheveningen & Hotel Kurhaus in Den Haag and can certainly recommend it. "As Southern Europe Overheats, The Hague Is a Spot for a ‘Coolcation’. Looking for respite from European heat waves, summer tourists are flocking to the diplomatic hub. But city leaders are wary of overcrowding."

I asked Claude about Michigan on 8/5 at 7:50AM "Right now NBC News is the only major network to have called it for El-Sayed. CNN is still tracking it closely — as of 6:30 AM ET, El-Sayed holds a 19,400-vote lead over Rep. Haley Stevens with roughly 95% of the estimated vote counted." (1/3)

Yankees add George Lombard Jr. (three Juniors on The New York Yankees), Heliot Ramos, send down Anthony Volpe, Jasson Domínguez and Angel Chivilli. After yesterday they should have also sent down Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone.

As a New York Yankees fan, I feel like a fool for following the trade deadline this closely in 2026. Though I will now understand why Luke Weaver is pitching for The Pittsburgh Pirates and Clay Holmes is with The Chicago Cubs.

38 years ago today on August 2, 1988, my wife arrived in New York City to be with me and get married 23 days later. The night before my wife came here my mother called me up and said, “Tonight is your last night as a free man.” Then we both laughed!
