ICE has its funding thanks to the dipshits in Congress. They're free to resume murdering people in the street. Free to make their presence felt at polling stations in blue areas in November.

Breaking: HR 6500, which funds ICE, DHS and all other Trump regime programs until December, passes by voice vote with no opposition from Democrats or Republicans - and John Thune adds amendments - Chuck Schumer is present but does not object. The Senate will go on paid vacation on August 10th.

Let this be the death knell for corporate PACs

Abdul won, but it was extremely close and he lost the biggest Black city in Michigan. Progressives think they understand "the Black vote" but it's very clear they don't. The progressive movement is picking up steam but they need to do a ton of work to understand the concerns of Black voters.

i've found many cis people either: ▪️ don't know anything about this at all ▪️ or imagine it *allows* service providers to be trans-exclusionary, rather than *mandates* that & are only now catching up

This is what we need to hear more of. And we need to forgive people when they say this. Better late than never - we need more people to speak up and speak louder however late they join the fight.

Progressive Trans woman Joanna Whaley appears set to win her primary against her transphobic opponent, and to become the first trans person elected to the Michigan state legislature!

He needs to immediately welcome Haley Stevens and her voters to join his campaign and to schedule an appointment with now Senator Slotkin to discuss her Senate race against Mike Rogers and how she beat him by just 20,000 votes

Wow, the Michigan Senatorial race is extremely close.

WASHINGTON (AP) — William Lawrence wins Democratic nomination for U.S. House in Michigan's 7th Congressional District.

El-Sayed is currently 34k votes ahead of Stevens. Mcmorrow who is not running has 39k votes. This is fucking incredible. The centrists boggled their ratfucking so bad they chose the worst candidate. Lis Smith’s incompetence is the lefts strongest soldier in dem primaries

If El-Sayed pulls this out he better develop a crazy voice for the General. He needs to up his game in this crucial area.

El-Sayed is likely still winning but will definitely be by 4-5%, not the double digits a vast number of polls have said in the last week. That almost all election data is now bad polling and vibes-based degenerate gambling sites partnered with the very news networks reporting on it doesn't bode well

For those wondering why Abdul El-Sayed (AES) had trouble w/ votes in Detroit, this factor will help you understand why. It always comes back to this. #1619 www.michigandaily.com/michigan-in-...

Abdul El-Sayed currently needs 48.38% of the remaining votes to win. This is entirely too close.

Whoever wins in Michigan is good. Stevens isn’t my candidate, but if voters are into her, they’re into her. If they’re into El Sayed, they’re into him. The win is the important part. We want winners. We want people who can make their case to the voters and win. That’s all we want.

Michigan Senate candidate Haley Stevens projected to win her primary - defeating progressive upstart Abdul El Sayed in mammoth upset

I'd prefer if El-Sayed wins, so people should vote for him. As repulsive as Stevens is, if she wins the nomination, she'd still be better than Rogers.

You know I can't stand Sanders, and I really haven't liked what I've seen from El-Sayed. But if he wins the primary, it's a no-brainer. Gotta support him. If it's El-Sayed vs. Rogers, that's a choice between candy corn (ick) or death cap mushrooms (dead). Come on.

I hope your family will reconsider. I have some concerns about AES and much more negative feelings about many of his biggest backers, but there are people whose lives and livelihoods depend on whether there are 51 Democrats in the Senate next January, and those people are who we owe our votes to

Entirely possible AES loses to Rogers, could certainly happen, but the same is true for Haley and her prospects of losing are somehow not a referendum on centrism and having Israel come to you in your dreams

I think the wolverine state might be feeling a little ornery

1.3 million Michigan voters have cast their ballots as of 10 am, about 300,000 more than those in the 2024 primary, according to Michigan Secretary of State's Office

BREAKING: Sen. Dick Durbin accuses Todd Blanche of lying under oath. He says Blanche told him in his office — with witnesses — that the slush fund was a mistake. In his confirmation hearing, Blanche denied that remark.

Heads up: The Trump Justice Department says it's monitoring polling sites in four Michigan cities today: Detroit, Lansing, East Lansing, and Hamtramck.

Also the Republicans were screaming that Fauci helped authorize vaccines for children, which is something every goddamn parent I know was praying for every day for more than a year and have been thankful for ever since. These people are all self-centered idiotic sociopaths, nothing more.

David Ellison may think we are stupid, but we know who he is. We know what he has done to CBS. We know what he wants to do to CNN. Support independent media.
