After Michigan Loss, AIPAC Weighs a Second Effort to Defeat El-Sayed
The pro-Israel organization spent $32 million in an unsuccessful effort to defeat Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary. It might try again in the general election.

Story of many many Americans lives.. the medical stuff shouldn’t be political But somehow that has become Toxic too????
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…
David Ellison wants us to know he’s not ideological, and that’s why he put a conservative with no tv experience in charge of CBS
David Ellison may think we are stupid, but we know who he is. We know what he has done to CBS. We know what he wants to do to CNN. Support independent media.
The Democrats' midterm ad practically writes itself.

Survivors have been on Capitol Hill for months, courageously sharing their stories and demanding accountability. The Senate must listen. Todd Blanche is unfit to serve as our next Attorney General. Every Senator should vote NO.
A vote to confirm Todd Blanche is a vote against justice for Epstein survivors.
Elon Musk will be spending $100 million to $120 million in at least eight states to help elect Republicans in November, according to The New York Times. But Musk’s money shouldn’t be viewed as a problem. It’s an opportunity. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-stink-of-musk
11 years ago today, Ken Paxton surrendered at the Collin County Jail on felony securities fraud charges. This is his mugshot.
Every vote to confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general is a vote to continue the coverup of the Epstein Files.
Nobody ever went broke underestimating the courage of congressional Republicans.
What a surprise. The “peace deal negotiations” Trump talked about yesterday and Republicans saying on Fox that something is “very close” was just more blather and drivel.
If you want members of this regime to be held legally accountable, you have to add four seats to the Supreme Court in 2029. Otherwise, they'll protect their fellow oligarchs like they did in 2023. 1. Win the senate 2. Block nominees 3. Elect a dem POTUS 4. Congress adds 4 seats 5. Have nice things
Democrats are held to impossible standards. Republicans are held to none.

I questioned Anthony Fauci under oath during COVID. I asked questions. He answered them. That's what congressional oversight is supposed to look like. What Republicans did to him this week wasn't oversight. It was a humiliation ritual. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...
