How El-Sayed won the contentious Michigan Senate Democratic primary
Abdul El-Sayed won with a populist platform buoyed by voter discontent with establishment Democrats and Israel.

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.
If AES wins, Schumer should do to him what Pelosi did to AOC, which was to bring him close to protect him and teach him. AOC is now a mainstream politician with a national profile. ARS could have that too, if he wins.

Dem AG Raul Torrez doing more for Epstein victims than any US senator voting to confirm Todd Blanche
Katie Phang@katiephang.bsky.social · 3h agoBREAKING: 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.
1. Now-deleted audio shows that Acting AG Todd Blanche privately told faith leaders the DOJ is working to make the 2022 Dobbs decision, which revoked federal abortion protections, “permanent in every single state.” Blanche also suggested a crackdown on the mailing of abortion pills.🧵
Senate Rs are wary of confirming an Army CoS due to lack of experience, but it didn't stop them from confirming the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who needed a waiver. Didn't stop the judicial committee from pushing through Todd Blanche for AG. From @aaronparnas.bsky.social #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks
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.
A vote to confirm Todd Blanche is a vote to make abortion bans "permanent in every single state." Those are his words. He’s privately promising anti-choice extremists he'll use the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision to crack down on nationwide access to safe medication abortion by mail- [cont...]
Here’s the key takeaway from our report: Epstein couldn’t have carried out his trafficking and criminal activity without the help of the highest ranking employees and executives at the most powerful banks in the world. Wall Street is complicit in Epstein’s crimes from top to bottom.
My investigators compiled a list of individual employees at JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Deutsche Bank, the behavior of which merits investigation by federal prosecutors. That list includes:
Epstein made millions in direct payments to women and young girls out of just one JPMorgan account. Many of these payments were to women in high-risk countries like Belarus, Lithuania, and Russia.
After forcing Epstein to leave the bank, top executives at JPMorgan Chase withheld information on Epstein from the U.S. government and continued working with Epstein as a source of referrals for business with other ultra-wealthy clients, including billionaire Leon Black.
Emails between top executives at JPMorgan Chase show they had concerns about Epstein’s transactions dating all the way back to 2012, but still chose to look the other way.
Top JPMorgan Chase executives had knowledge of the pervasive presence of young women or underage girls at Epstein’s homes.
Top bank execs also knowingly withheld information from federal law enforcement about Epstein’s financial transactions until after his arrest. See here the Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) filed by JPMC before and after Epstein’s arrest in 2019.
Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase likely violated federal anti-money laundering laws by failing to properly screen and report payments from Leon Black to Jeffrey Epstein, and underreporting Epstein’s suspicious activity to the Treasury Department.
Bombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records. This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:

One more interesting point: this spring I sat down with Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes for an extensive interview about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media has unquestionably aided the Trump administration’s cover up here.

NEWS: Former Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ) has endorsed Senator Jon Ossoff (D-GA) for re-election Flake: “I’m still a conservative Republican. But character matters. And I want someone in that seat who takes the institution seriously and will protect the institution.”
Putin looks like someone who grew up malnourished. Probably because he did.
That is indeed Joe Biden from 1967 and Vladimir Putin from the 1970's.
📌Susan Collins is voting "no" on the repulsive Blanche because she has been given political cover by Thune. Her vote doesn't matter. This isn't a heroic decision, it is pure politics, and whether anybody wants to admit it or not it's how she has survived like a parasite in that chamber for 30 years.
Acting AG Todd Blanche went mask-off, promising hard-liners behind closed doors to roll back abortion access further and make Dobbs “permanent in every single state.” Another reason to #SayNOtoBlanche. Source: flip.it/wFl4wM
