Either Haley Stevens lacks Any self awareness or she hopes every voter is ignorant to her atrocious record. Either way, it’s indefensible. Vote Abdul El Sayed for US Senate in Michigan. ❤️✊🏽
Dems need to take this seriously. Susan Collins is making her move right now to distance herself from the horrific ICE shooting in Maine. She's very good at this kind of maneuver. It's why she keeps getting reelected there.
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 5d agoSusan Collins, who voted for $70 billion in no-strings-attached ICE funding, is now taking credit for securing new bodycams to distance herself from Trump and ICE.

Mask fully off. Haley Stevens just posted a completely unhinged rant accusing Dr. Abdul El Sayed of "blaming all of America's problems on the Jews." This is disgusting, racist, false, and puts both Muslims and Jews in danger. Stevens should be ashamed of herself. Vote Abdul El Sayed for Senate.
