Everyone’s expectations got skewed over the past week but Abdul El-Sayed getting $70 million spent against him in a state he lost a primary by like 20 points eight years ago and still winning last night is probably the most impressive electoral accomplishment of the decade.
El-Sayed: "Mike, I'm gonna say it right now, I know you're gonna say no because you're a coward: Five debates, alright? ...

Michigan Democrats didn’t just turn out, they showed up like there was free weed and a chance to annoy Trump.
Kaine: The inadequacy of Blanche’s repudiation of this sweetheart settlement deal for Trump, plus the way the DOJ has fallen short of its promises with respect to the Epstein files, are just two of many reasons why Blanche shouldn’t be confirmed. @acyn.bsky.social
Mike Johnson tells Politico that he's standing behind Republican Max Miller — despite the "serious" domestic abuse allegations against him.
