VoteHub projects Abdul El-Sayed to win the Democratic primary for Michigan U.S. Senate.

Money 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.

"These protests mattered because they revealed both the fragility of Modi’s political aura and the continued possibility of democratic pressure in India.The state can absorb the message and adjust—or it can harden, punish and deepen the distrust that the protests exposed." I write in Foreign Policy

India’s Political Atmosphere Has Changed

If Modi responds to the Cockroach protesters with further repression, it could backfire.

I asked him about military assistance to India last year and Abdul's spox, unprompted, told me he supports targeted military assistance to countries like Ukraine.

Every time I see or hear El-Sayed say "We should keep our money here" I want someone to ask him "Do you think USAID was a good program? When DOGE shut it down, was that a good thing?" Then follow up with the same question about aid to Ukraine.

Abdul el-Sayed is the only politician I've heard talk about opposing US military aid to countries like Egypt, an idea which is very much not mainstream. And yet he gets smeared as singling out Israel. Why is that 🤔 One day a regular ass Arab named Jihad is gonna run and it's gonna cause a civil war

Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF. This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy. Every member of Congress must vote NO.

I hope, finally, this is the time that Westerners finally pay attention to India. Indians are in the streets, bleeding and fighting for a better future. This has gone beyond the CJP and its centrist demands. People are demanding the end of everything that has held India back.

Absolute fucking bullshit to deprive Spain of that goal. Holy fuck.

WHY WAS THAT GOAL DISALLOWED? Am I hallucinating?

Kylian Mbappé has moved past Lionel Messi for the career World Cup scoring record, scoring twice for France in the third-place match against England to reach 22 goals.

Dayot and Kylian, you deserve the universe!!!!!!!!

really a masterclass example of "why does midfield matter" that Spain used their advantages in midfield and in the press to keep the ball but also to take away France's primary idea -- transition attacking -- and nullified the most talented attacking four in the world

More than 1,500 congressional staffers are pressing House and Senate leaders to overhaul how Capitol Hill handles sexual misconduct complaints. The last time Congress updated its reporting process was in 2018, during the height of the #MeToo movement. https://wapo.st/4wzPEtA

Absolutely terrifying to have white supremacist hate group Patriot Front march through our streets today in Washington, DC. Their manifesto calls for a white ethnostate, excludes people of color from their definition of citizenship, and is deeply anti-Semitic and xenophobic.

Things I will not accept in World Cup discourse: - North Americans telling South Americans “welcome to CONCACAF” as if CONMEBOL doesn’t exist - Argentina fans specifically doing anti-colonial discourse - racismo - celebrating Ronaldo, Hakimi, and other rapists
