Congratulations to our friend, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, who has inspired so many people in Michigan and across the country!
We’re constantly told that democratic socialists are too “extreme.” But it’s the Republicans who have gun nuts, self-proclaimed exorcists, and other unsavory characters in their ranks. www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-rea...

Haley Stevens would be a much weaker candidate than Abdul El-Sayed in a general election.
Wow, the DNC just left out the chapter of their "full" autopsy that questioned why Biden ran for reelection and pointed out the corrosive influence of a wealthy consultant class. They just cut that part out and now say they can't find it!
Perhaps the most incredible headline of this cycle.

Something important about Michigan: if Haley Stevens wins, the AIPAC money that has been propping up her campaign suddenly dries up. AIPAC wants her to defeat Abdul El-Sayed; they don't care if she beats Mike Rogers. Because AIPAC has been the main source of funds, her campaign instantly shrivels.

This photo of Gretchen Whitmer is one of the single most powerful symbolic depictions of the contemporary Democratic Party leadership. Decking yourself out in blue as if you're different, while cooperating with Trump and pretending not to, says it all.

If Trump thought military action would pressure Iran into negotiations, he may have badly miscalculated.

AIPAC understands that if they lose the Michigan primary, they're finished. It will prove their endorsement has become a toxic liability among Democratic voters. Haley Stevens barely has a campaign. All she has is tens of millions of dollars in AIPAC spending. This race is AIPAC's last stand.
