What do Abdul El-Sayed, Donavan McKinney, Brad Lander, Melat Kiros, Analilia Mejia, Darializa Avila Chevalier, Adam Hamway, and Claire Valdez all have in common?! All progressives who won AND all of them were on my show in lead up to election. Road to Congress runs through Dean Obeidallah show! 😀

Rep. Thanedar becomes latest incumbent to fall to a progressive challenger. Watching moderate Dems say progressives really aren't winning because Abdul only won by 1%. They are. The base has shifted. They refuse to accept reality www.politico.com/news/2026/08...

New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

Mamdani Is Shunning New York Business Leaders Who Are Used to Calling the Shots

The mayor fired corporate leaders from a city fund’s advisory board in the latest sign that he is changing the way such power brokers access City Hall.

It's official per NY TImes, NBC news and more: Abdul El-Sayed has won!! He was outspent 9 to 1. Democratic leaders in DC like Chuck Schumer and in Michigan opposed him despite his views lining with 75 to 90% of Democratic base on Medicare for All, Abolishing ICE, Palestine/Israel and more!

UNHINGED: Rep. Max Miller (R-OH) claimed his ex-wife was such a violent menace that his former father-in-law, Sen. Bernie Moreno offered her $5 million to “go away” and leave her own family alone. Miller has zero proof. www.mediaite.com/politics/max...

UNREAL: Willie Geist makes interview with Abdul El-Sayed about aid to Israel and then conflates Israel with Jewish Americans. Yet not even one question on concern for Christian and Muslim Palestinians being attacked by IDF and settlers. Why not?! www.mediaite.com/media/tv/abd...

Abdul El-Sayed Promises Jewish Voters He Will Fight Anti-Semitism — After Criticism Against ‘Arming’ Israel

Geist challenged El-Sayed on whether he could reassure Jewish voters after the candidate defended his calls to end military aid to Israel.

Dear corporate media: I have an idea for you. Why not book actually progressive Democrats and not former Republicans who are anti-Trump?! Could it be you don't want progressive Dems making the case on your airwaves for Medicare for all, ending corporate $$ in politics, raising taxes on rich, etc?!

If Rep Haley Stevens wins the nomination for Senate, I will do all I can to help her defeat Mike Rogers bc it's not about her--it's about control of the Senate. Would be great to see the pro-Stevens people make same pledge if Abdul El-Sayed wins

REMINDER: There are now just 91 days until the Nov 3 midterm. Saying this is the most important election in our lives is an understatement. This is the most important election in the life of our Republic. Our freedoms and our democracy hang in the balance. We MUST win!!

Jeanine Pirro did NOT do the right thing by dropping the case versus David Hearn over the bogus Reflecting pool case. Pirro filed charges to make Trump happy. Pirro only dropped the case because she realized she could be disbarred for bringing a bad faith prosecution. She still should be disbarred!
