@katiephang.bsky.social lays out how nominee for AG Todd Blanche is saying the quiet part out loud: The Trump admin will use every lever they can to restrict abortion, in every state. Call your Senators and tell them to vote NO on Blanche. 📞 888-380-2711 https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vXNF98NXAjg

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."

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…
