Learning, exploring and anxiously resisting. Love is love. djt is Satan.

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

Republicans: “There’s nothing we can do to rein in The President.” Umm, do they think everyone is stupid? 1.) Impeachment 2.) 25th Amendment 3.) Vote against him and his corrupt loyalists 4.) Speak out against him and his corrupt loyalists

You cannot make this shit up (from Breitbart below). On the left: Strait will "open very soon" (implies it's closed) On the right: Strait is "partially open anyway" (implies it's open)

El-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"

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!🥳

There shouldn’t even be a question about this. If politicians are dying their power to personally benefit and become wealthy off the American people, then they have no place running out government!

His brain is like a laser beam. I know what it takes to get MD as a credential. He has gone through many intellectual challenges harder than this. For him the challenge is connection to the listener. He is a very gifted person. I hope he goes all the way and shapes changes for America.

As someone living in Kyiv, I’m begging you: Please help us stop this. Almost every night, russia strikes Kyiv with ballistic missiles, hitting civilians, homes, and warehouses. We can’t stop these missiles because we don’t have enough Patriot systems. People are dying.

this name shit would be the perfect time for obama and/or mamdani to do a hit for el-sayed. "we've heard a lot of people attacking dr el-sayed over his name. well, for eight years they called me PRESIDENT hussein obama. and i'm MAYOR mamdani. so maybe its time for SENATOR el-sayed."

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…
