OMG. I hate mainstream media that pretends to be unbiased. This headline should say: Whitmer, McMorrow and Stevens join forces with Abdul El Sayed. Which they have. Within hours of the election being called.

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

A new investigation reveals that at least 50 police officers from all over the U.S. have been caught abusing their access to Flock's automatic license plate reader database, including to stalk women. This is just one of the many reasons to get these creepy cameras off our streets.

Wisconsin is making national news because so many police officers have been charged or convicted with using the Flock surveillance network to stalk people. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2026/08/02/how-police-officers-used-vast-network-cameras-spy-their-exes/

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.

CEOs are raking in $17 million a year, 300 times what their own workers make, and John Husted’s answer is “learn to budget.” Sherrod Brown wrote the law that got over 100,000 Ohioans their stolen pensions back. Vote for who fights for you, not who lectures you. #BlueWaveIn90Days

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

BREAKING: The New Mexico Department of Justice has sued Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ, requesting the court for access to unredacted Epstein-related investigative files that the DOJ has been withholding.

A key pillar of El-Sayed’s campaign is his Aging Affordably in America platform to ensure that every senior has a secure retirement. Billionaires want to defeat Abdul El-Sayed to avoid paying their fair share into Social Security and Medicare. Send @abdulelsayed.bsky.social to Congress in November!

Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."

Digital data privacy legislation that bans behavioral ad targeting would force platforms to return to contextual advertising, which rewards broad-appeal, accurate information. There are also several proposals to expand federal tax credits for local news subscriptions and nonprofit media. /end

The Fairness Doctrine’s demise began with enforcement challenges and Reagan deregulation. “Conservative” appeals court judges scrutinized the 1959 amendment to the Communications Act and determined that Congress never really codified it. Congress quickly passed a bill, but Reagan vetoed it. /5

To fix the Mayflower ban, the FCC issued a report in 1949 that created the Fairness Doctrine. Stations were allowed to air opinions, but only if they gave fair coverage to opposing views. In 1959, Congress amended the Communications Act of 1934 to include a reference to the Fairness Doctrine. /4

Before the doctrine, several radio figures demonstrated how one broadcaster could manipulate millions of citizens. Local station owners across the country routinely sold blocks of airtime to extreme political or religious figures while refusing to sell airtime to mainstream opposition groups. /2

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1987: The FCC rescinds the Fairness Doctrine, ending a 38-year policy. Let’s explore why it was enacted, what it did, and why restoring it would not be effective against today’s media bias. We’ll also look at some other solutions that are being considered. /1

Q: You’ve been Republicans for most of your voting lives. Who’s voting for James Talarico? Republican moms: *all raise their hands* “I like him. I want a middle school teacher who’s like, hey, this is broken. Somebody needs to fix it. Why not me?”

Talarico: I've passed 60 bipartisan bills through the Texas legislature. We're told that it's a choice between people who fight and people who get things done. I think the people of Texas deserve a senator who can do both — and I've shown in the statehouse that I can do both.
