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.'"
Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.
Russian propagandists have a convenient habit of showing the devastation caused by Russia while omitting the inconvenient fact that Russia is the one launching the drones and missiles striking Ukrainian civilians.
this is the best comment i've ever seen on any footage of my game. pack it up. there's no topping this.
Rick Scott on spending: "Government is the problem. It's not the Iran war." (Who is waging the Iran war?)
Something I'm really excited for is Vance getting sucked down into oblivion, as if by a sinking ship, when Trump annihilates the extant Republican Party over the course of this administration.
JD Vance: "We don't want the next administration, whoever -- god forbid you're gonna have President El-Sayed in three years ... "

A hard situation deep into the Thai Jungle today after we got a tip off. Nobody lives here. Managed to get the first boy saved (more soon we hope) and medical care. I've never seen a dog go from scared to happy to be rescued so quick
Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Abdul El-Sayed wins Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in Michigan.
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.
El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
I was so pissed last night, watching viral videos claim that Blanche promised to pass a national abortion ban. That's not true, and it's not helpful. Because what he actually said is super dangerous, but getting buried
No, Todd Blanche Didn't Promise a National Abortion Ban—But He Did Vow Something Else
Here's the real threat getting buried under panicked headlines

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.
She's been working so hard for her first week with us to get healthy. And the first weigh in went super well. 7 lbs down and she is starting to feel herself again! A long way to go but she is off and running
Why is it not front page news on every major media outlet that the United States commander in chief had hundreds of his bank accounts frozen for money laundering??????
Don't look now, but the world has now installed 3TW of solar. Took 10 years to get from 100GW to 1TW. Less than 3 years to get to 2TW. Less than 2 years to get to 3TW. Analysts expect *9TW* by 2036.
The World Crossed a Major Solar Milestone. No One Noticed
The next phase of the boom may reveal a shift in who is gaining access to the technology.

Russia wants the world to forget who started the war. On 24 February 2022, Putin ordered a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The invasion was not preceded by any Ukrainian attack on Russian territory. The war was not ‘forced upon’ Russia. Russia chose to start it.
It’s past time to BAN CONGRESSIONAL STOCK TRADING! No member of Congress [or the White House] should be trading stocks. Period. The American people deserve to know their representatives are working for them, not corporations and stock portfolios. It’s time to ban Congressional stock trading.
