El-Sayed attacked Rogers as a Trump stooge and accused Republicans of trying to use his faith and full name - Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed - to scare voters. "My name is ​not the reason you can't afford your groceries," he ​said. "You know what is? Their BS policies." www.reuters.com/world/us/pro...

Progressive El-Sayed wins Michigan primary in jolt to Democrats

The race served as a battleground between progressives and moderates over support for Israel, an issue that has played out in primaries nationwide this year.

Basically, I’m suspicious of all conservative politicians. And if Dems really think those dudes want to solve problems, I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale for you.

Look, anytime the term “billboard lawyer” is used in a political ad, I get suspicious. That feels like a dumb term corporations and conservatives use to sound like they are of the people. They are not.

🧵Spotted at an Indie Bookshop talk in Aotearoa New Zealand: An entire book club (20s-30s?) files into the front row in an independent small city book shop. Books piled on tables and shelves everywhere. They're here on a mission. The author is a friend and they WILL fiercely support her. (1)

Big ass corporation: “We had a great 2nd quarter! Look at all the money we made!” Me: “Can I have a 7% raise then?” BAC: “Ha ha! No.”

All day my brain when I’m in the office: “OMG. I just want to go home. Can I go home now? Dear god, what time is it? Can I go home soon? All I want is to be home.”

It will never not confuse me why grocery stores in Minnesota can sell fireworks but not booze.

1990 was the year my mom made me and my sister get a second MMR booster. It was technically my 3rd. I was 16. And today, I’m still vaccinated against measles.

Notably, the 1989-1991 US measles epidemic led to 55,000 cases, 130 deaths, & the addition of 2nd MMR to the schedule (as well as, indirectly, to the creation of the Vaccines for Children program in 1993 to reduce financial barriers to vaccination). What will the legacy of this current outbreak be?

For decades, ADHD was viewed as a childhood condition that mostly affected boys. Researchers now know ADHD manifests differently in girls, but many still go undiagnosed until adulthood.

Since I have an Apple TV box, I’m watching the #WPBL on the LocalNow app. It carries the Scripps Sports network.

It's absolutely insane we've somehow let the Covid recriminations debate become like "why didn't we reopen in person schools before there was a vaccine" and not "why did none of the trump guys go to jail for stealing PPE from New York hospitals in March 2020"

No one is at the A’s game because this is the weather in Sacramento.

“People used to save and buy high quality goods! Now they just want cheap, shoddy stuff!” Sure, buddy, and a family of four used to be comfortably middle class and own their own home on a single salary.

Not sure why the NWS website is saying it’s going to be dry today in Sacramento because the current dew point is 62° which is humid to me.

Dude. They let you win because you’re an emotional mess who throws a fit.

Trump: “The Winning Shot in the Bedminster Club Championship! Thank you very much to all of those who participated. I won with a 70, & am so honored in that, unlike the rest of the field, I’m given very little time to practice, bc I’m focused on many other things. It’s called TALENT, and I have it”

People potentially subject to the nyc pied-à-terre tax are being treated with 1% of the administrative hostility of SNAP and Medicaid applicants, and they’re throwing 100x the fit

I absolutely hate these things. They are a huge danger.

Sen. John Kennedy on Trump's blatant reflecting pool lies: "The president says it was caused by vandals. I don't know if he really believes that or it's part of his political messaging or he's just thinking out loud ... he grows anxious when he has an unexpressed thought."

I lost my job, my kids have measles, my electric bill has doubled, and I have explosive diarrhea from a parasite the CDC no longer monitors. But at least now Black kids won't be getting free breakfasts from Head Start anymore.

Thanks for setting off fireworks, jerks. Hope you like your giant fine from the fire department.

I don’t know why the cross on the face using eye black bugs me. I guess it feels performative. It’s one of the things that makes me feel suspect about the Savannah Bananas and those teams.

Ok, I love Martha Reeves, but…yikes. 😬 #WPBL

Kinda wish Madonna, Gina Davis, and/or Lori Petty had made an appearance at this game #WPBL

Nice! They are bringing out all the teams. #WPBL
