The MI Senate race is close. I'm waiting for all of the votes to be counted.
Whoa. Yep, confirmed. I'll have to remove him from both my Senate page *and* my #BlackJobs26 page.

So, uh, a candidate who suspended his campaign a month ago is winning a landslide against a Trump endorsed candidate because of anti-Muslim prejudice against a guy who is not Muslim (and I guess probably also just regular racism). How often does a candidate who suspended their campaign win?
The Downballot@the-downballot.com · 15h agoSeems like an upset might be brewing in the GOP primary in #MI08 to take on Dem Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet. Trump endorsed Amir Hassan, but he currently trails an absolute nobody who suspended his campaign a month ago by a wide margin.
Speaking of which, the margin is now down to less than 26,000 votes, or less than 2%. Regardless of who ultimately wins, it's safe to say that the entire polling industry looks like a bunch of jackasses right now.
We don’t have to see eye-to-eye on every issue, but I believe in finding things we have in common rather than letting every difference divide us. Something I know we can all agree on: too many communities across our state have been overlooked. We can do better and we can do it together.
Sixty-one years after the Voting Rights Act became law, the fight to protect our freedom to vote continues. Join me this Thursday, August 6, in Horn Lake for a community conversation about protecting voting rights and strengthening our democracy. I hope you'll be part of it.
We can’t lose sight of this. Millions of families are going hungry in this country because Donald Trump wanted to give a tax break to billionaires. It’s a moral abomination.
Oral health is healthcare. Too many people end up in the ER for dental pain that preventive care could have stopped. I've worked across the aisle to fix that, because this shouldn't be a partisan issue. adanews.ada.org/ada-news/202...

From town-halls and community meetings, to discussions with local leaders and fire department officials, grateful to visit with so many across Northern Colorado. More to come! 🏔️🏔️🏔️
How much from the Trump administration for ordinary Americans, who in many cases paid the tariffs in the form of higher prices? Zero.
Tariff refunds split companies as consumers demand share of $166B
Some firms say they will share a portion of the rebate from the Supreme Court striking down Trump's tariffs earlier this year.

The Trump administration has been refunding companies after some of Trump’s tariffs were struck down in court. $2.2 billion for Apple. $1.3 billion for Ford. $500 million for GM.
@realdonaldtrump under your racist leadership, the words on the Statue of Liberty—“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…”—might as well end with “FOR WHITES ONLY” when you welcome White South Africans while deporting Black Haitians.
RFK keeps promoting his own anti-vaccine agenda, and Americans are paying the price. He's completely unfit to lead HHS.
Families are paying more than ever for school supplies and groceries, and many parents are cutting back on other household expenses just to make ends meet. I introduced the Summer Meals REACH Act to expand free meals so every child can stay healthy, prepared, and ready to learn.
I am proud to have joined my colleagues across the aisle in introducing the READ Act. This bill strengthens evidence-based Science of Reading instruction to tackle America’s literacy crisis and help every child succeed. Together, we’re improving literacy nationwide.
ICE's inhumane detention of Gabriel Johnson must end NOW. Read my full statement.
Happy Birthday, President Obama! You led this nation with hope and delivered on promises for change – expanding healthcare and working to provide opportunities for millions of people. Thank you for continuing to inspire us!
His reckless policies are driving up the cost of living—and Americans are paying the price.
Donald Trump says “affordability” is a made-up word. Tell that to the families stretching every paycheck, the seniors choosing between groceries and medicine, and the parents wondering how they’ll put food on the table.
