Whether you voted for him, his opponent, or didn’t vote at all, Abdul El-Sayed is inviting everyone into the same fight: get money out of politics and finally deliver healthcare that actually covers people. That’s a movement worth showing up for. #BlueWaveIn90Days #Pinks
SHOUT OUT to Mike Luckovich: one of the all-time great political cartoonists. 🏆 With corporate media doing such a poor job in these most perilous of times, his work is more vital than ever! THANK YOU @mluckovich.bsky.social!!! 🙏
El-Sayed: "Mike Rogers is a guy who wants to put a data center in your backyard so he can make himself feel a little more manly by making an AI video ... he's a guy who went back to Florida so he could lick every single boot Donald Trump owns to bet for his endorsement."
BREAKING: Donavan McKinney has defeated incumbent Shri Thanedar in the MI-13 Democratic Primary! McKinney is an unapologetic progressive while Thanedar is a pro AIPAC pro genocide corporate puppet. A huge win for working people in MI!
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…
Jennifer Schulze (@newsjennifer.bsky.social ): If you want to know what David Ellison would do w/ CNN, look at CBS, "a raging dumpster fire with non-stop controversies ... meddling in editorial content to make it more Trump-friendly and historic declines as the audience runs away as fast as it can."
David Ellison can’t be trusted with CNN
We've already seen how Ellison has wrecked CBS. Don't fall for his PR push on CNN.

Another GOP incumbent not seeking re-election. They’re all panicking about the midterms.
NEWS: Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) just dropped out of his re-election race at 3:32 a.m.m. He said he’s done running but will finish out his term. This after the House Ethics Committee found “substantial reason to believe [he] violated House Rules related to sexual harassment and hostile workplaces.”
Capitol One shut down 300 accounts belonging to Trump because they were flagged for potential money laundering. That was 2021. Imagine if this were Biden. How would America react? But yes "liberal media."
Any Senator who votes to confirm Todd Blanche is also siding with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell – and is actively participating in covering-up their numerous and heinous crimes.
David Hearn should sue TF out of Trump, Doug Burgum, Jeanine Pirro. Full stop.
The DOJ is now 0-20 in court trying to access states' voter files. They've lost in: Arizona California Colorado Connecticut Illinois Kentucky Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island Virginia West Virginia Wisconsin
A vote to confirm Todd Blanche is a vote against justice for Epstein survivors.
Cool, cool. We’re basically out of ATACMS and PrSM, and we used half our *global* TLAM supply… all for the Strait of Hormuz to still be closed?
At what point do any of these groups understand this?
They need to hammer down relentlessly on this. They can't become overconfident, like they did with Hillary in 2016.
U.S. District Judge D'Agostino issued a preliminary injunction on Tues 8/3 blocking a NY law -banning ICE agents from covering their faces -required them to wear ID The judge ruled that the law unconstitutionally attempted to directly regulate federal agency operations @claybennett.bsky.social
Blanche will pass through committee today While Senate Republicans expect to have the votes to confirm him, Senate Majority Leader John Thune noted that there are the usual undecided memebers :Collins & Murkowski. Even if they vote against, Blanche will be confirmed substack.com/@wintersart
