Congratulations to Abdul El-Sayed & to Michigan for putting in the hard work to overcome big money! We have a huge fight ahead but I have faith in our ability to fight for a better future for the American people! Abdul would be the first Public Health official in the Senate! #DoBetter #Pinks

Corporate spending on elections has already topped $500 million this year. That's one third of the $1.58 billion in total that corporations have spent since Citizens United in 2010. Hawaii and Montana both have plans to neutralize this disastrous SCOTUS ruling. Other states must get on board.

The whole point of the Bill of Rights is to protect the only true minority - the individual. It limits the governments power to harm the individual. The whole constitution is designed to limit the governments power.

Unbelievable. 57% of MAGAs would still vote for a Republican who'd shared classified information with a foreign government. 66% would vote for one accused of sexual assault, and 72% would vote for a candidate accused of domestic violence. I'm so disappointed in humanity right now.

Particularly given that Trump has done so much of this or similar, I'm a bit sad they didn't include "defraud MAGAts at scale." The support numbers would still be sky-high. But it would be a useful demonstrative. www.politico.com/news/2026/07...
