The FDA has a map of the salmonella jalapeno cases. Minnesota and Colorado have the most identified (110), though that might just be a product of those local health departments being more diligent as the Trump regime has decimated federal public health infrastructure.
Trump in Nevada: “Michael Whatley should be your governor.” Minor detail: Whatley is running for the U.S. Senate in North Carolina. 25th Amendment now!
If Mitch McConnell could talk, he would have recorded a video message by now.

El-Sayed: I think that's clearly what's gone wrong with Fetterman. It's clear he probably doesn't spend much time in Pennsylvania. He was campaigning with Bernie Sanders and now wants to renounce him. I'm hoping to get to the U.S. Senate. Maybe we can hash that conversation out in person.
The fact that the Democratic senators are agreeing to a continuing resolution until Dec 11th with NO compromises for them is absolute political malpractice and head scratching. Why not even try to ban like…. The arch? Anything!
It shouldn’t be overlooked that both Mamdani and El-Sayed never abandoned support of Trans and queer people during their campaigns. They leaned into their support with joy.
El-Sayed on Rogers: "What he's missing is that politics has changed since 2000 when he got in office. Now, it's not enough to just get $70m & run 30 second ads. You actually have to stand for something, & this is a guy who doesn't want to explain why he's backing Trump on the most ridiculous war..."
Same people who would (correctly) be furious if Haley didn't do this are choosing to grind axes about her campaign. Grow up. Elections are zero sum. Yeah, her campaign was shitty. No one's saying you have to like her, but sore winner is a real bad look and a worse way to get her supporters on board
I encourage all of us to have the grace and focus shown in this going up within minutes of the race being called.
Mike Rogers wants us divided. But there is so much more that unites us than sets us apart. The power is ours. This land was made for you and me.
If anyone had any doubt that Kshama Sawant was anything other than a narcissistic attention addict, last night's classless display should have removed that doubt. What an asshole.
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.
Former Republican Senator Jeff Flake just endorsed Democrat Jon Ossoff. Flake says he is still a conservative Republican, but character matters more than party. Flake warns Mike Collins would be a rubber stamp for Donald Trump. #GASen #CharacterMatters
I will give Haley Stevens credit for immediately conceding and rallying behind El-Sayed. This is the energy Dems need to win in November. The Republicans will always rally around their nominee. The Dems need to learn to do the same.
Glad it’s over, thrilled by the results, and, I regret to inform you: The MI Senate primary (much like the TX one) is pretty good foreshadowing for what the 2028 Democratic presidential primary is going to feel like.
Metal slivers turned up in Ukrop's baked spaghetti and chicken cobbler after someone actually bit into one, and the company found more in the pans supplied to them. This hit Kroger, Publix, Harris Teeter, basically everywhere across four states. Check your freezer before you reheat anything.

…We need to win this Senate seat, because Elissa Slotkin deserves a partner like Abdul in the U.S. Senate.”
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…
El-Sayed: "They think they want to use my whole name against me. Mike, listen man, If you can't say the name -- it's Abdulrahman -- keep the name out your damn mouth."
In case you were wondering how CNN is coping—they just brought on John Fucking Fetterman to offer his thoughts to Wolf Blitzer on the Michigan primary win for El-Sayed.
I’m telling you this as a political scientist. The person who is electable is the one who is elected. This can and does change over time. Any and all speculation about “electability” is either puffery or anxiety and is often both.
