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.'"
How come Mitch McConnell is still getting paid to be a senator, but Lindsey Graham, John McCain, and Ted Kennedy are not?
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

@zimmermanv66.bsky.social Good Morning Vincent. Coffee needs to kick in quickly because I am not ready for this.
@zimmermanv66.bsky.social Good Morning Vincent! Another weekend just flying by.
Parnas: Are you at all concerned about the USPS mail-in ballot rule they’re floating… Fontes: A lot of people don’t know that the USPS has an obligation. Once a piece of mail gets into their hands, they’re mandated by law to move it through their system and get it where it needs to go.
Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo: "I don't get paid very much" (His salary is $170,000, over twice the median income in his state.)
