These folks are the worst. But keep it up, AIPAC. Every time you speak out, you alienate more American voters.

Abdul El-Sayed@abdulelsayed.bsky.social · 7h agoMoney out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.
when anyone tries to say El-Sayed didn't win by enough or whatever, show them this

I don't think I can remember a US politician with better messaging than this man. Ever. And that includes Mamdani. Run him for President.
Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.

lol Politico trying to meme themselves with that “not the night progressives wanted” with a picture of the progressive who got wildly outspent and still won decisively
My friend told me her 10 yo daughter is growing out her hair after a teacher at school barred her from entering the girl’s bathroom last year because of her short hair. Can you believe this shit? And the school never apologized for this act of bullying.

Michigan just proved something the political establishment doesn’t want to admit: When we organize, we WIN! Now, let’s make it happen again on Tuesday, August 11. Join @indivisible.org’s phonebank for @peggyflanagan.bsky.social on Monday and help us keep up the momentum.
this name shit would be the perfect time for obama and/or mamdani to do a hit for el-sayed. "we've heard a lot of people attacking dr el-sayed over his name. well, for eight years they called me PRESIDENT hussein obama. and i'm MAYOR mamdani. so maybe its time for SENATOR el-sayed."
The total amount a UK political party can spend in a General election year across 650 candidates is half that - and this was a single candidate in a single primary.

When he was Chair of the House Intelligence Committee, Mike Rogers (the Republican candidate for Senate in Michigan) publicly took the position that "you can't have your privacy violated if you don't know your privacy is violated." Colbert had some fun with that: crooksandliars.com/cltv/2013/10...

If El-Sayed wins the general I don't think we'll hear 'I have a theory that what works in the Midwest will work on the coasts but not the reverse' ever again. Draw strength from this. Let it motivate you.
I have had my share of complaints about Jake Tapper but that was a very good interview. Refused to let him weasel out of questions and caught contradictions on the fly.
Jenny Lee My dad was a prosecutor. Defense: “our client only had 30 seconds, how much could he hurt someone in that amount of time?” My dad brought a full size dummy into the courtroom, set it on the floor, and kicked it in the stomach for 30 seconds. The jury was gobsmacked. And unanimous.

What’s next on Miller’s to-do list, an interview with Isaac Chotiner?
Been offline for a bit so I'm late to the party, but hey @kenjennings.bsky.social you owe my friend @gwenpepperoni.myatproto.social a pretty large apology. If any friend of mine behaved the way and did the things you did, I would stop being their friend permanently. It's truly bad person stuff, man.
