El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

75 yr old Lifelong Democrat from Boston Mass. NO DM'S please, I do not respond.
Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.
SHOUT OUT to Mike Luckovich: one of the all-time great political cartoonists. 🏆 With corporate media doing such a poor job in these most perilous of times, his work is more vital than ever! THANK YOU @mluckovich.bsky.social!!! 🙏
"There must be some recourse, and some restitution." 1. Close Dilley & all ICE detention facilities; 2. Abolish ICE; 3. END QUALIFIED IMMUNITY 4 ICE AGENTS & PROSECUTE THE CULPABLE; and 4. Provide recourse and restitution 4 its victims. Thank you, @pressley.house.gov. substack.com/@reppressley...

Here's what I learned during my congressional oversight visit to Moshannon Valley Processing Center.
A person detained by ICE stopped eating to protest conditions inside the facility where he was being held.According to ICE’s own health records,ICE responded by restraining him & subjecting him to forced urinary catheterization, forced hydration, &involuntary blood draws without his consent!
Sign Petition: ICE Forced a Catheter Into a Hunger Striker. It's Time Congress Abolish ICE.
More than 20 people have died in ICE detention so far this year alone. (124 signatures on petition)

BREAKING: The New Mexico Department of Justice has sued Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ, requesting the court for access to unredacted Epstein-related investigative files that the DOJ has been withholding.
@jamestalarico.bsky.social for Texas US Senate gets it - under his opponent Ken Paxton and Gov. Abbott, data centers are running amok in TX. Talarico has a sensible plan to regulate data centers. Texas, he is the right choice for your next senator, not the corrupt, 15 home owning Paxton.
Incredible nonsense from John Cornyn. True, the harm to Epstein’s victims can’t be remedied by a “no” vote. But why should Blanche’s corrupt cover-up of the Epstein files—in violation of a Congressional mandate(!)—be rewarded by “yes”? Can’t get any more craven than this.
Cornyn justifies his support for Blanche: "That's one of those things that can't be remedied by a 'no' vote"

Trump USDA Chief Calls Kicking 5 Million People Off Food Aid 'A Pretty Big Win' | Common Dreams
"The immense hardship these families are now facing is not, in fact, 'a pretty big win,'" said one policy expert.

This actually might just be defamation. Abdul El-Sayed might have a legitimate defamation case against his Republican opponent.
$30 million of AIPAC money targeted Abdul El-Sayed — and he still won. This shows that Zionist lobbyists are going to have a very difficult time duping American voters and buying the 2026 midterm elections for Trump and Republican fascists.
From the picket line to the halls of the U.S. Senate, we know that Abdul El-Sayed has our back. We're going to fight like hell to make sure in November we're celebrating another victory on election night.
me: more democrats need to talk smack el-sayed: let me lay the smack down
El-Sayed: "Mike Rogers is a guy who wants to put a data center in your backyard so he can make himself feel a little more manly by making an AI video ... he's a guy who went back to Florida so he could lick every single boot Donald Trump owns to bet for his endorsement."
Haley Stevens is a class act in a new statement endorsing Abdul post-primary
The $30 million AIPAC wasted in Michigan, wasted trying to help Haley Stevens, could have been used to fully fund and deliver 6 million malaria nets to sub-Saharan Africa. Or, it could have fully paid for universal free school breakfasts in Mississippi, America's poorest state.
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."
