I wish my late father whose first name was Abdul was alive to see Abdul El-Sayed win the nomination for US Senate!

It's official per NY TImes, NBC news and more: Abdul El-Sayed has won!! He was outspent 9 to 1. Democratic leaders in DC like Chuck Schumer and in Michigan opposed him despite his views lining with 75 to 90% of Democratic base on Medicare for All, Abolishing ICE, Palestine/Israel and more!

The winning will continue until morale improves.

Establishment Dems propped up duds like Fetterman, refused to change leadership despite getting trounced across the board, and then meekly accepted the results despite anomalies all over the place. They’ve shown they lack the stomach for this fight. So the electorate has begun looking elsewhere.

Big money always comes with conditions. Those conditions are rarely compatible with the needs of the working class.

The message here is for establishment democrats: The electorate wants fighters. People unencumbered by big donors. People who will fight for the working class. People who will stand up to Trump and the oligarchs. Shape up or get out of the way.

Developing: Dr. Abdul El-Sayed has been projected as the winner of the Senate Democratic primary in Michigan.

Big money spent $70 million to try and defeat Abdul El-Sayed and it didn't work! POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

His ignorance is staggering.

What was the rate before he started the war? Just curious.

I can’t believe he tried to hold on through the ethics investigation and the sexual assault claims, personally. But Republicans are pretty shameless that way

Another GOP incumbent not seeking re-election. They’re all panicking about the midterms.

He's probably punching the air mad saying "trump did it and got elected president, why can't I"

NEWS: Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) just dropped out of his re-election race at 3:32 a.m.m. He said he’s done running but will finish out his term. This after the House Ethics Committee found “substantial reason to believe [he] violated House Rules related to sexual harassment and hostile workplaces.”

“So… you’ve been absent for 52 days, missed 47 roll call votes, and no one knows if you’re still alive?”

a cool moment -- Kaitlin Collins tells Brad Lander that he won his primary live on air during an interview with him. Lander responds by saying, "I'm thrilled. I did not expect to be on air when the race was called."

So now the next step is to find out what Capital One's months-long anti-money laundering review by professionals with decades of law enforcement experience discovered about Trump's 300+ accounts...

Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."

Gov. Katie Hobbs of Arizona, who is running for re-election, plans to tap John Giles, a longtime Republican and former mayor of a Phoenix suburb, as her running mate. Hobbs would not confirm the choice, and nothing is final until an official announcement. Gift link. 👇 www.nytimes.com/2026/08/04/u...

If you thought John Mitchell or Bill Barr were bad… just you wait.

First it was Iran to push the Epstein files off the front page. Then, when the Iran war turned into a fiasco, it was back to the 2020 election and Covid. Every crisis needs a new distraction.

The left: we want the Epstein files The right: we want the Epstein files The center: we want the Epstein files Trump: best I can do for you is Fauci’s diary, some lies about the reflecting pool, and a failed war in Iran

The White House Reflecting Pool may sound like one of the least important stories of the Trump era. But the Justice Department's failed prosecution of supposed "vandals" reveals something far more troubling: how political narratives pushed by Trump and his allies can become criminal cases.

The Small Cases Tell a Bigger Story

Kansas voters rejected a ballot measure requiring state Supreme Court justices to be elected instead of appointed by the governor, another setback for Republican lawmakers trying to overturn the ruling that established a constitutional right to abortion.

Representative Wesley Bell of Missouri, a moderate pro-Israel Democrat, fended off a primary challenge from former Congresswoman Cori Bush, a democratic socialist, in a loss for the surging socialist movement.

Happy birthday to an actual President, Barack Obama. 💙
