No American Israeli PAC money went into Dr. Sayed’s campaign - some PEOPLE KNOW the difference between a slick campaign marketing pkg and the REAL DEAL when they see it. We need REAL LIFE LEADERS in gov’t, not tv game show hosts. The Hollywood version of “government” is chaotic and unsustainable.

I just find Michigan’s Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed so charming. He’s a public health doctor, he wants universal healthcare, and he can be silly.

This is a golden opportunity for the Dem party to branch out into a broader political spectrum embracing the next generation as a stronger, more progressive and UNIFIED political entity under ONE PARTY that better reflects the needs of REAL American PEOPLE.

Don't mean to sound naive, but it shouldn't take rocket surgery to join forces & utilize strength of enthusiastic numbers in defeating Republicans. Any "sore losers" ought to buck up, realize that fighting off the real opponent, adversary, enemy, is Job One in the fight for our lives. Big picture.

"I've been so waiting for a time when everyday people would push back and say: 'This is not working.'" Troy Jackson for ME Senate is rallying working-class voters to demand universal healthcare, affordable childcare, and reproductive rights. Now is our time to push back.

Trump’s Federal Trade Commission Is Threatening to Punish Big Tech for “Woke AI” Free speech groups sound alarm about a proposal from Trump's FTC to jawbone companies into training AI models on white nationalist narratives and undermine state laws. Meanwhile, Elon Musk wants his nude deepfakes...

This America is more than a flag. We must fight for an America for all, a movement to take our democracy back. We invite you all to this movement to get money out of politics and finally guarantee health care through Medicare for all. I am so honored. Let's go win in November.

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.

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.'"

Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Wiccan, Buddhist… the taxpayers pay an INDEPENDENT government to work FOR THE PEOPLE, not corporate lobbies, foreign interests or wealthy donors. We have SEPARATION of church and state in the US for a reason. Keep your religious preferences OUT OF AMERICAN POLITICS.

“THAT’S THE BEST YOU GOT?” Dr. @abdulelsayed.bsky.social reacts to Republicans using his full name in a clearly bigoted effort to gin up racist, Islamophobic fear around his candidacy.
