Very proud of Abdul El-Sayed for prevailing despite a massive financial disadvantage and wall of Establishment opposition. Still, sad that so many supported a deeply dishonest neoliberal Zionist mouthpiece. Also, puzzled tens of thousands voted for a candidate who dropped out weeks ago. Onward.

"The politicians basically serve the rich, the wealthy, and their self-interest." Listen to this man in Nigel Farage's constituency.

Haley Stevens knows that ICE is deeply unpopular and is trying to deceive voters about her record. But here are the facts: ❌Haley Stevens voted to increase ICE funding FOUR times. ❌Haley Stevens voted to THANK ICE for their work.

"Chuck Schumer's theory is to put up insiders." "Our theory is that this is an outsider moment...nominating shake-up-the-system economic fighters [like @abdulelsayed.bsky.social] is a great way to win the center of this country." —@adamgreen321.bsky.social That's what's on the ballot in Michigan.
"@abdulelsayed.bsky.social is the only candidate who is a shake-up-the-system economic populist fighting for everyday working people. "He is believed when he says he wants to get corporate money out of politics, put money in people's pockets, and pass Medicare for All." - @adamgreen321.bsky.social
"I think [Abdul] is going to have a much stronger turnout in Western Michigan than people are anticipating, and it's because he does the groundwork. This is not just a media campaign. He's a great candidate, and he puts in the work." Good to run into Anthony from @occupydemocrats.bsky.social!
"When we win, we are taking @abdulelsayed.bsky.social to the United States Senate." @workingfamilies.org's Amirah and PCCC's Adam Green are ready to send shockwaves through the political system—for working families and progressive change. 🤦♀️ Let's do this, Michigan.
RAHHHH because @abdulelsayed.bsky.social is crushing it. And, as Allie O'Brien put it: "We're feeling really good. We're feeling like Zohran Mamdanis can win everywhere in the country, not just New York."

LEGENDARY ECONOMIST THOMAS PIKETTY IS ON TODAY'S EPISODE OF BOLD POLITICS. BILLIONAIRES HATE TO SEE HIM COMING linktr.ee/boldpolitics
Crop yields down, our countryside scorched and over 2800 people are dead due to this summer's heatwaves. Meanwhile fossil fuel giants are raking in record profits. We must end this rampant profiteering, and cut fossil fuels from our energy mix as soon as possible.
BP profits more than double to $5.7bn in three months as Iran war sends oil prices soaring - "While BP banks enormous profits, millions of households are paying the price" #energycrisis #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/business/202...
Our prisons are overcrowded because the system is broken. The answer isn't endless emergency releases. It's investing in prevention, rehabilitation and giving people the support they need to rebuild their lives.
BP's quarterly profits more than doubled to £4.2 billion in the three months to the end of June. These are the profits of war and climate chaos. It's time to make the biggest polluters pay.
Zack Polanski is to deliver an urgent message to the Prime Minister. Watch on Bold Politics YouTube channel at 11am.
"It’s as if we launched a war against nature, and that has turned place after place into something that resembles a war zone. The climate movement is a peace movement, a movement to end this war and its casualties. ...summer was an immaterial treasure and joy that belonged to all of us."
My editor asked me to write about what happened to summer:
We launched a war on nature. Now we are in a climate warzone | Rebecca Solnit
Summer is not what it once was. We have been robbed of one of life’s great joys

Anne Frank was arrested on this day in 1944. History rarely returns wearing the same uniform, it returns asking the same thing of ordinary people: Will you sit down and look away? Or will you stand up and fight? #Resist
The reason Trump’s approval keeps hitting a new all-time low every day, and why Republicans might lose the Senate, is because GOP voters are losing their enthusiasm for his agenda, while independents move in droves toward an energized Democratic base. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-08-04...
So tidy that B of A and Chase are also two of the biggest US banks for fossil fuel, along with Citi and Wells Fargo. Investing in harm since....
Bombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records. This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:
Springtime was Eric Swallwell and Tony Gonzalez, and Congress seems to have an inexhaustible supply of abusers.
