Republicans call Democrats communists the way toddlers call every vegetable broccoli.

Hello everyone..I am your DEMOCRAT SISTER..Retired and I've been told I have a big mouth and called a Lady Libber..btw it's True..NO DM'S...period
“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.
Mike from Florida (he’s not) is an amazing cheap shot and I love it very much. welcome to Detroit motherfucker
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2h agoEl-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.'"
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.
A disappointing decision. A federal judge reluctantly dismissed the remaining criminal charges against eight Oath Keepers charged with seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6 attack after the Justice Department requested the case be thrown out.
A 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…
This is wise, and hopefully his supporters and the supporters of his opponent will all model his behavior, rally together, and try to win the seat.
Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 12h agoEl-Sayed: There is so much more that unites us, however much we might disagree with our democratic opponent, there is so much more that unites us than divides us. And so to all of our supporters here tonight watching on TV—tomorrow, we begin to mend fences.
Racism is the primary factor keeping Trump's net approval rating over 30%. 75% of Americans say he is a bad role model. 75% think he stinks at economic leadership. Even die hard MAGA hates his Iran war. But Republicans are happy when Trump hurts immigrants and supresses minorities.
The president of the United States is a rapist.
Republican voters in western NC gave us Madison Cawthorn and then replaced him with Chuck Edwards. Obviously character and decency isn’t something that matters very much to them.
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.
Former challenger Mallory McMorrow: “Congratulations to Abdul El-Sayed for winning the Democratic primary to become our nominee to be Michigan’s next US Senator. I’m proud to give Abdul my full endorsement and support as we head to November together as a unified party”
Good riddance. If he had any honor he would leave now, but Mike Johnson needs his vote so Republican sexual harassers need to stay around. Probably want to keep young female staffers away from him though.
Sure, Democrats are not perfect and we have some bad apples. But sexual harassment and abuse of women has become an absolute epidemic among elected Republicans because it is the culture of the party under lifetime serial sexual harasser Donald Trump.
Is Mike Johnson going to throw some more Bible verses at us today while continuing to back Max Miller?
LOL. Abdul El-Sayed WON the Democratic Primary in Michigan despite being outspent 10-1! Amazing gaslighting here.

What a jerk… $5M to gold plate beautiful bronze statues! He funneled all the money from our National Parks… estimated at up to $90M for all his projects & the excessive fireworks. Meanwhile there’s no money to help families with healthcare & kids cut off from SNAP are hungry! #Blues
Frances Perkins was the patron saint of American workers and an inspiration for me during my time as labor secretary. She was the guiding light behind the creation of Social Security, the 40-hour workweek, the National Labor Relations Act, and much more.
David Dayen@ddayen.bsky.social · yesterdayToday's Prospect Patriot is Frances Perkins. She saw the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory go ablaze in 1911 and her life changed. "The New Deal was born that day," she said. 22 years later she'd be America's first female cabinet member. prospect.org/2026/08/04/a...
WATCH — Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social on Trump’s insider trading: “If you pay Trump $100,000 a month, he will give you early access to White House announcements on economic and trade policy. None of this is normal, and a lot of this is illegal.”
Electric Buses Point of no return - have gone from 12% to 56% of new city bus sales in Europe in just 6yrs Europe's 2035 target of 100% zero emission bus sales could be reached as early as 2028 Bravo Europe 🇪🇺!
We see that our political system is broken, then keep behaving as if it worked. We need serious change, and it's time to take bigger swings.
No more distractions! Looks like more Trump-Epstein Files maxxing will be required...
How can anyone conclude other than the US is a now rogue nation runs by murderers, thugs, and crooks? www.nytimes.com/2026/08/04/u...
Judge Pained as He Grants Dismissal of Jan. 6 Charges Against Oath Keepers
The judge, Amit P. Mehta, blasted the administration’s request for a dismissal in the case, saying it bestowed “unearned grace” on the Oath Keepers defendants “by wiping their records clean.”
