Congratulations to @jocelynbenson.bsky.social, @abdulelsayed.bsky.social, and all the candidates up and down the ticket who earned our party’s nomination here in Michigan. Now it’s time to come together and deliver the case that Democrats must make over the next 90 days, everywhere we go.
The $30 million AIPAC wasted in Michigan, wasted trying to help Haley Stevens, could have been used to fully fund and deliver 6 million malaria nets to sub-Saharan Africa. Or, it could have fully paid for universal free school breakfasts in Mississippi, America's poorest state.

Let’s level set. MICHIGAN is a must-win if we want to flip the Senate. A word caution: This race was tighter than many predicted. El-Sayed needs Stevens supporters in the general, so it’s not smart strategy to keep them angry. Welcome them. Focus on issues. Time is short, so healing must be quick
Three years ago, the Biden White House attacked me for saying "Democrats should be fighting on every possible front — filing a flurry of lawsuits and exerting public pressure through the media." "The president's team wants to be more selective in picking legal fights." I feel sadly vindicated.
The United States Treasury: An ATM for the Rich and Powerful
Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳
Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.
This is how it's done. Fight it out in the primary, and then link arms to defeat the common enemy in the general. Great demonstration of post-primary leadership from @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social.
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…
Let’s see if Susan Collins stands by her “concerns”, or if she folds like she always does.
Despite being shown boxes of evidence by his own appointee, Trump would rather punish innocent American citizens to cover his mistakes. The man is a monster and everyone that supports him should be voted out of office Sometimes it’s that simple.
🎉 Pro-tip: Look for the candidates saying things like this today
Another GOP incumbent not seeking re-election. They’re all panicking about the midterms.

Politics feels corrupt because it is. Billionaire mega-donors aren’t just buying yachts and jets — they’re buying power, and they’re using that power to rig our political system. jamestalarico.com/issue/corrup...
Congratulations to Abdul El-Sayed & to Michigan for putting in the hard work to overcome big money! We have a huge fight ahead but I have faith in our ability to fight for a better future for the American people! Abdul would be the first Public Health official in the Senate! #DoBetter #Pinks
Abdul El-Sayed wins Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary, notching a Midwest victory for the left
The former public health official has defeated Rep. Haley Stevens, NBC News projects, despite facing a huge advertising disadvantage.

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.”
NEWS: Abdul El-Sayed has won the Democratic Primary for U.S. Senate in Michigan. He will face off against Republican Mike Rogers in November.
Sure, Democrats are not perfect and we have some bad apples. But sexual harassment and abuse of women has become an absolute epidemic among elected Republicans because it is the culture of the party under lifetime serial sexual harasser Donald Trump.
Joy doesn’t always arrive with fireworks. Sometimes it shows up in a quiet cup of coffee, a shared laugh, a blooming flower, or a few peaceful minutes at sunset. Keep your heart open—you never know where you’ll find it today. 💚💛 #Jaye’sMorningLight
Good riddance. If he had any honor he would leave now, but Mike Johnson needs his vote so Republican sexual harassers need to stay around. Probably want to keep young female staffers away from him though.
So Bluesky just did an update and so I thought perhaps that was why we were having problems sharing our packs. One person was able to figure it out, but it did not work for me. Please give me your feedback. We’ll figure this out together.💙😇
