Sen. Bernie Sanders calls Abdul El-Sayed's win "one of most extraordinary victories in modern American political history." "He withstood $70M of outside funding. He was outspent 9-to-1," he says. Plus establishment Dems in MI and DC opposed him. "Never heard" of a major candidate overcoming that.

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…

“Though the word “abortion” did not appear on the ballot in either state on Tuesday, voters resoundingly shot down Republican-backed ballot measures that could have made it easier to ban the procedure in the future in Kansas and in Missouri.” www.nytimes.com/2026/08/05/u...

Abortion Foes Backed Ballot Measures in 2 Red States. Voters Said No.

Voters in Kansas rejected a proposal to start electing Supreme Court justices, while Missourians declined to make it harder to amend the State Constitution.

To say GOP is willing to put peoples’ lives on the line for a vote is an understatement. They’re literally murdering people to provide red meat to their rabid base. Why MSM & D’s can’t come right out & say this is disconcerting. @ossoff.bsky.social @petebuttigieg.bsky.social @kamalaharris.com #DNC

Life under an autilocratic regime! 🚩Don’t criticize tRump’s actions? Bullshit! The 1st Amendment says ow. The pllhave a right to criticize those we elect to serve. btw, 1st A was NOT meant to be used to protect a prez & a political party from wholesaling lies to the American ppl! mho 🎁 link below

Excerpt “The Trump administration has made no secret of its intent to prosecute left-wing activists as terrorists—in June, the Department of Justice indicted anti-Cop City activists on conspiracy charges for a protest in which fireworks were set off. The administration has indicted more than 50 people on such charges, NPR reported.”Excerpt “The Trump administration already has a track record of using the Justice Department for political persecution—a use facilitated by Roberts Court jurisprudence that eviscerated the department's independence. In addition to left-wing activists, federal prosecutors have gone after former FBI Director James Comey, a sometime Trump critic, and accused a former Olympian of having vandalized the Reflecting Pool (the charges were eventually dropped; the damage was actually caused by the shoddy work of a Trump-selected contractor). Anyone critical of the administration would have ample reason to be concerned about federal agents searching their phone without a warrant, but one needn't be a vocal opponent to find themselves subject to a nonsense prosecution by a president trying to shore up one lie or another.”Excerpt “But Americans should not have to make those kinds of calculations to avoid federal agents invading their privacy. The possibility of having to prepare for such a search might be enough to persuade people to censor themselves—to avoid public criticism, political activity, or any kind of personal expression that might draw the wrath of the government—lest they attract the wrong kind of attention from federal authorities. And online anonymity is not necessarily a shield The Wall Street Journal has reported that DHS has been seeking to unmask online commenters critical of ICE by subpoenaing social-media companies. These people weren't committing crimes—they were "saying naughty things about ICE and immigration enforcement," as one attorney put it to the Journal.”Excerpt “This is a relatively simple problem for Congress to solve. In 2021, Democratic Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon and Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky proposed legislation to close the border-exception loophole for electronic devices. Congress could easily pass a law compelling warrants for most border searches of electronic devices.”

The U.S. government should need a warrant to look in your phone, even at the border, @adamserwer.bsky.social argues.

El-Sayed attacked Rogers as a Trump stooge and accused Republicans of trying to use his faith and full name - Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed - to scare voters.

“Its upper stage, as tall as a five-storey building, didn't re-enter Earth after the lunch. Careful analysis of subsequent observations predicted that it would crash today on the Moon” And it did.

Earlier today, the discarded upper stage of a Falcon 9 rocket impacted on the Moon. As part of a coordinated observing campaign, our Very Large Telescope detected spectral lines of sodium and lithium gas in the impact plume lasting for 5-10 minutes after impact. 🔭 🧪 📷 ESO/C. Schmidt et al. 1/4

Mike Rogers, a former U.S. congressman who pushed false claims of a stolen 2024 election in Michigan and praised Trump’s recent primetime tirade against elections, won Michigan’s Republican primary election for an open U.S. Senate seat Tuesday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
