Guess what I just got by email: Mike Rogers warned me that Abdul El-Sayed is a "radical communist". I'm not kidding. And Trump's first rant on Truth Social touted the same language. Here we go 🙄😡

Re: this business of “electability”, remember this: in 2024, “(Mike)Rogers had a slight edge over (Elissa) Slotkin walked away with 48.6% of the votes and Rogers with 48.3% (AP).” Vote for the candidate you know will represent you and your needs. Forget about “electability”.
Note to media: get Dr. Abdul El-Sayed’s name right. “El-Sayed is pronounced as el-sah-YED (or /ɛl sɑːˈjɛd/). The first part sounds like "el," and the second part splits into "sah" like the start of "father" and "yed" like the word "bed" with a "y" sound in front. And P.S: Dr. not Mr.
Abdul El-Sayed is the likely Democratic nominee. Republicans throwing millions on attack ads. Just remember: this election is about AFFORDABILITY, which is what all Democrats (progressive and establishment) are running on. Democrats must unite to win against Mike Rogers and win the house!

I have been called an alarmist and worse by well meaning people who want to think it will just all be ok. The truth is it doesn't always end up ok and we can't pretend it will. Donald Trump is targeting Black voters and women to rig this election. We need to stand up, call it out and take action.
And a lest we forget Justice Kavanaugh writes separately because while he agrees with the judgment in this case that Trump cannot change birthright citizenship by EO, he believes that Congress can by statute create exceptions to birthright citizenship that would mirror the provisions of Trump’s EO.
In case Trump asks... I am not tired of winning.
