@abdulelsayed.bsky.social has won his primary election for Senate in Michigan. He went up against record amounts of dark money. He won anyway because he stayed locked in on what Michiganders' actually need: a government that answers to you instead of billionaires.
@wewill2026.bsky.social has won his primary election for Congress in Michigan. He is the only candidate in his race fighting AI billionaires who are bulldozing our communities, standing up to big money and fighting for people who actually live in Michigan.
They tried to explain it away and call it a fluke. "It could ONLY happen in New York." "It's JUST an East Coast thing." "It ONLY can happen in big cities." But on Tuesday, when it happens in the Midwest with @donavanmckinney.bsky.social, we will make history.
"Right now our democracy is in distress. And maybe the solution to the problem is sending a doctor to the senate." Honored to represent @workingfamilies.org today and help get folks fired up to vote for @abdulelsayed.bsky.social in Michigan. 🐺🔥
We polled voters in 18 toss-up districts and the results are clear: voters want candidates who will challenge the political establishment, not give it cover. Here are some interesting findings from @workingfamilies.org... 🧵
Corporate donors are spending millions because they’re scared. They’ve seen working class-champions like @bradlander.bsky.social, @melatkirosco.bsky.social, @villegas4congress.bsky.social and @chrisrabb.com triumph. They know their own power is on the decline. 🧵 apnews.com/article/aipa...
Fusion voting gives new parties a chance to prove their strength, build constituencies, and earn real influence without acting as spoilers.
Two more ICE murders, two more families mourning loved ones, two more communities terrorized by the Trump administration, two more rounds of DHS lies, blaming the victims and their families while blocking justice and accountability.
🧵Corporate Democrats, AIPAC and big money groups are scared shitless about Michigan and are now trying to use the last competitive primaries of 2026 to salvage their abysmal performance in races all over the country this year.
Hey, what about the Left insurgency we can believe in? I got into it with @mauricewfp.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

The sexual assault allegations against Graham Platner are extremely serious and troubling. Our party is rescinding our endorsement of Mr. Platner’s campaign and calling on him to withdraw from the race.
For the holiday weekend I penned a few words about the moment that turned me into an organizer, and why I’m working to build independent political power for @workingfamilies. www.theroot.com/why-we-need-...

After big wins in CA, NJ, PA, and DC, we now get to add @bradlander.bsky.social to our growing bloc of WFP champions in Congress. Brad ousted incumbent Rep. Dan Goldman, running to abolish ICE, end the genocide in Gaza, and stop the billionaire power grab in DC. 🧵
Last night was an amazing night for the working class in New York. We’re proud of all the @workingfamilies.org candidates who won, and congratulate the mayor and DSA on their historic victories.
I know people think I try to bring politics into everything, but the Knicks taught us a lesson last night! This is what 💥BIG MAN/BIG WOMAN💥 and 💥GROWN MAN/GROWN WOMAN💥 basketball is ALL about.
COMEBACK COMPLETE. THE KNICKS TAKE A 3-1 SERIES LEAD.

This admin wants the World Cup here, but not the people (and the workers!!) of the world.
With 2 million votes (and counting), @caworkingfamilies.bsky.social’s @thisisjanekim.bsky.social is making history. A state director, Jane helped build the WFP into a powerful political force in the most populous state in the country. (1/2)
History. Over 2 million voters have voted for the Working Families Party candidate in a race for statewide office. Former California WFP State Director and Bernie Sanders CA Political Director, @thisisjanekim.bsky.social is making waves in California!
I have to tell you... I AM NOT tired of winning. Congrats @villegas4congress.bsky.social for sending a clear & powerful message that the Central Valley is not for sale!
@villegas4congress.bsky.social is advancing to the general election in his race for Congress in California. Big money and the establishment spent millions to defeat an educator and auto shop owner who believes in lowering costs, protecting families from ICE, and guaranteeing health care. He won.
Hey y'all! @workingfamilies.org + @paworkingfamilies.bsky.social IS IN THE BUILDING FOR @netrootsnation.bsky.social 2026! 💯🚨🐺 Meet our team in Philly this week for keynotes and panels happening throughout the weekend. Bookmark this post and we'll see you out there! #NN26 #Netroots
@analiliafornj.bsky.social has won her primary election for Congress in New Jersey. She has driven wins for people in her state: $15 minimum wage, paid sick time, lowering barriers to voting. In Congress, she introduced a bill to increase the minimum wage to $25. And she's just getting started.
Congratulations to @analiliafornj.bsky.social for winning the Democratic nomination for her Congressional seat in District 11! #WFPChampion🏆
What gives us hope? Movements that expand democracy instead of shrinking it. We support fusion voting, which gives voters more choices, encourages coalition-building, and creates a politics that’s less polarized and more representative. @msifry.bsky.social theconnector.substack.com/p/what-gives...

We're proud to endorse @abdulelsayed.bsky.social for U.S. Senate in Michigan. As a public servant, he removed lead from schools, made life-saving Narcan accessible, and led a program to cancel medical debt for 300,000 Michiganders. He is the kind of candidate we need in office.
Last night showed us that coasting on the backlash to Trump isn't a strategy. Voters want to know what you're actually going to do. @paworkingfamilies.bsky.social @chrisrabb.com
