Abdul El-Sayed's victory is the most significant Dem primary upset since Obama — who actually won by a narrower margin than El-Sayed www.kenklippenstein.com/p/chuck-schu...

Days before the death of Edwin Jeovanny Lopez Cornejo, ICE officials did not report the death of another man who’d been detained at Delaney Hall — because they had technically “released” him in the middle of a medical emergency, Rep. Rob Menendez (D-NJ) alleged. www.huffpost.com/entry/delane...

Congratulations to Donavan McKinney on winning his congressional primary, unseating a millionaire AIPAC stooge! Donavan is a former union member fighting to get money out of politics, a green new deal, and union jobs. @donavanmckinney.bsky.social @detroitdsa.bsky.social
glad to see she acknowledges he's a doctor now.
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 9h agoA 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…
shamelessly trying to cook the narrative. It's looking like we're going three for three in Michigan. Waiting on the call for Donavan McKinney. aipac and other shadowy donors dumped nearly 70 million dollars to overwhelm this campaign, and came up short. That's unprecedented spending in a primary.

I think winning a race where you get outspent by like a factor of 10 is a pretty solid outcome all things considered, if you wanted a landslide, I dunno which race you were watching

This is a great way to win over hundreds of opinion columnists and zero actual voters
El-Sayed: We live in an era where we continue to see a few very small people try to define America as being as small as they are. We can't control the past 250 years. What we can do is build the next 250

The total amount a UK political party can spend in a General election year across 650 candidates is half that - and this was a single candidate in a single primary.
#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · 17h agoNo matter the margin the story is that Haley Stevens got $70M of support, more than $30M of it from a single organization, and still lost.
Extraordinary win! Overcomes 10:1 spending and the entire establishment in Michigan and in Washington! On Israel/Palestine, it's revolutionary day.
You could say Abdul El-Sayed won despite $64 million being spent against him… one may also wonder if he won *because* of it
Voters in Kansas saw through a blatant political power grab and sent a message — our courts are not for sale.
Currently… •Will Lawrence won MI-7 •Donavan McKinney leads in MI-13 •Abdul El Sayed leads for US Senate We have the chance to make history happen tonight. Let’s go!
Ok, I think @abdulelsayed.bsky.social has this. Stevens’ lead in Wayne county is narrowing with each vote dump. The story of this campaign is people over money. Outspent 11 to 1. Every one of his 400+ campaign stops, every door knocking operation, every phone bank - they all mattered.
These men are immoral, untrustworthy cowards.

the DCCC lost its mind trying to stop progressive Will Lawrence in MI-07. he is close to a majority in Eaton, which should not be his best county
Oh I see you want to cry about one of her old tweets. Let's take a look at one of yours.
Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) reacts to another death at Delaney Hall, a detention center in her district in New Jersey. Officials say 39-year-old Salvadoran immigrant Edwin Lopez-Cornejo died at the facility on Saturday. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social
Just very depressing to me that this sincerity, honesty, and clarity is a huge electoral risk while muttering the same three slogans over and over again forever is savvy campaigning with a proven track record of success.
