The $30 million AIPAC wasted in Michigan, wasted trying to help Haley Stevens, could have been used to fully fund and deliver 6 million malaria nets to sub-Saharan Africa. Or, it could have fully paid for universal free school breakfasts in Mississippi, America's poorest state.

El-Sayed: We live in an era where we continue to see a few very small people try to define America as being as small as they are. We can't control the past 250 years. What we can do is build the next 250

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.

Congrats @abdulelsayed.bsky.social! If he wins in November, he will be the first Senate member with an advanced public health degree, which we so desperately need right now!

1/ It looks like one of the largest Cyclospora outbreaks in U.S. history is slowing. The U.S. has now reported over 17,000 cases. And we are largely flying blind, but one of the only data points— percentage of tests that are positive—is declining, which is a cautiously optimistic sign.

You could say Abdul El-Sayed won despite $64 million being spent against him… one may also wonder if he won *because* of it

Fantastic reporting here by Libby Rainey that confirms what we've been hearing about the "clean zones" around LA28 venues: "Carter Hewgley, chief strategy officer for L.A. County’s Department of Homeless Services and Housing, said his office had been told to plan for perimeters as wide as a mile"

The LA Olympics is expected to displace unhoused people living around venues. So what's the plan?

L.A. officials say people living on the streets will likely have to leave certain areas come 2028. They don't know how they'll be moved or who will pay for it.

It's official: @wewill2026.bsky.social campaign has knocked 100k voters' doors. Tens of thousands of doors is hard work, but Sunrise volunteers are FIRED UP. This is what a grassroots campaign looks like!!
