Proud Michigander. Lover of Bob Seger. Go green! Tom Izzo is the best college basketball 🏀 coach ever! Democracy is on the line. We must fight to keep it. Slava Ukraini! We are all Minnesotans!

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…

Incredible nonsense from John Cornyn. True, the harm to Epstein’s victims can’t be remedied by a “no” vote. But why should Blanche’s corrupt cover-up of the Epstein files—in violation of a Congressional mandate(!)—be rewarded by “yes”? Can’t get any more craven than this.

Cornyn justifies his support for Blanche: "That's one of those things that can't be remedied by a 'no' vote"

But wait! you say. How is that a journalistic assessment? It is. Trump is 80 now—and there's *no record* of him creating value for anyone outside his family or succeeding at any endeavor. His life is an unbroken string of bad acts and failures whose victims were everyone else.

I don’t call myself a blue dog Dem, a yellow dog Dem, a DSA Dem, a centrist Dem, or a progressive Dem: I call myself a Big Dawg Dem, where our only platform is kicking MAGA’s ass in elections. Anyone else?

Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed says he's ready for GOP attacks on "Medicare for All." "Mike Rogers is taking away people's private insurance because they can't freaking afford it... I don't know how many times he's raised prescription drug prices."

What will the media companies who are publishing stories that Blanche agreed to a “deal” with Cornyn & Tillis to kill the slush fund write when people start getting paid with our tax dollars & this whole thing is revealed as a sham? Since they aren’t writing how it’s a sham now.

Still can’t over the fact that the president of the United States just told an entire state to pound sand after getting cyberattacked by a foreign adversary because they didn’t vote for him and it was treated like a Tuesday lol

The president is a rapist and a pedophile who ran teen beauty pageants and was best friends with Epstein and he’s fine with men beating their wives and he lost a war and raised all your prices and stole billions of dollars but 34% of Americans still think he’s peachy keen because they’re racist.

Trump tells his cultists in every speech, “we are respected all over the world like never before.” And most of them believe him. It should come as no surprise that the 10 states with the fewest number of people with passports per capita are all red states.

Crazy to think a decade ago I was completely apolitical, enjoying my straight white guy privilege, oblivious to 99% of the world around me. And now, because yall radicalized me on twitter (according to my family), I'm more in tune with the Michigan democratic primary than the NBA offseason.

Maybe it’s me, maybe I’m old fashioned, but the sitting president has all but declared war on states that didn’t vote for him, and I feel like the media should be talking about that every once in a while, right?
