Rep. Haley Stevens “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election..
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.
Congratulations to @jocelynbenson.bsky.social, @abdulelsayed.bsky.social, and all the candidates up and down the ticket who earned our party’s nomination here in Michigan. Now it’s time to come together and deliver the case that Democrats must make over the next 90 days, everywhere we go.
El-Sayed: "They spent an unprecedented amount of money to beat us -- attack ad after attack ad after attack ad after attack ad, wall to wall ads. But it turns out that the commercials are the part of the television show most people don't want to watch."
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."
“The proposed award comes after legal service providers across the country have said that the administration has withheld $65 million in overdue fees from the previous contract, alleging it is an attempt to force them to turn over confidential information about the migrant children they represent.”

The Supreme Court’s destruction of the Voting Rights Act shows how the Court has aggrandized its role in our system of self-government — and why it must be reformed. bit.ly/458NyoF
What the Voting Rights Act Can Teach About Supreme Court Reform
No institution should be beyond meaningful democratic accountability.

Narrator: While Rick Scott was the CEO of Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation when it systematically defrauded federal healthcare programs. The hospital chain later pleaded guilty to 14 corporate felonies and paid a record $1.7 billion in federal fines and penalties.
I am grateful to have the support of Rep. Jamie Raskin in our fight to crush the corruption in D.C. that is raising costs for working families.
New Ad: Gina Hinojosa, Dem TX Gov. candidate promising to rein in GOP leaders "who forgot who they serve." She plans to take on the corporate interests she says have been controlling the Texas GOP for far too long.
📌Democratic turnout in the Michigan senatorial primary was OFF THE HOOK. More than 1.5 million votes have been counted. The competitive GOP primary for governor has had but 930,000 votes counted. The Democrats are continuing to prove to be the more motivated party at the polls across America.
With primaries behind us, it's now time for Dems to focus on winning in Nov. That'll involve something hard: establishment Dems will need to ask what they can learn from progressives, progressives will have to focus on what they can learn from centrists & both'll have to find ways to work together.
Democrats had a big win! #Pinks #USDemocracy
I hope people will actually listen to the statements of El Sayed about his focus--improving the lives of the people of Michigan, getting money out of politics, unrigging the system, standing up to Trump, Rogers & MAGA--and tune out the inside-the-beltway soap opera about division peddled by pundits.
This is how it's done. Fight it out in the primary, and then link arms to defeat the common enemy in the general. Great demonstration of post-primary leadership from @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social.
"Native Americans are U.S. citizens. Reports of ICE questioning and detaining Native Americans, including challenges to tribal IDs, should concern every American. Don’t tell me this is only about immigration status anymore."

Believe it or not: "John Cornyn was a judge. Before his career in the U.S. Senate, he served as a state district judge and a state supreme court justice in Texas"😲😡
Republicans doing nothing is what I will remember most about all of this
