Let’s level set. MICHIGAN is a must-win if we want to flip the Senate. A word caution: This race was tighter than many predicted. El-Sayed needs Stevens supporters in the general, so it’s not smart strategy to keep them angry. Welcome them. Focus on issues. Time is short, so healing must be quick

A gracious concession: “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…

BREAKING: A reporter asked Mike Johnson at a press conference today, “Should we bother asking you any questions about Max Miller, Trump’s latest Iran deal, or his Capital One scandal, or have you not heard about any of them yet?"

Two points: 1. Haley Stevens' campaign paid ~$90 for each vote. That's obscene. 2. Campaign spending should ALWAYS be examined through the lens of opportunity cost. How many public school budgets could be funded with that money? How many of a specific medication could be purchased for how many?

Haley Stevens doesn't want to commit to coming out against dark money: all the moderate democrats came out and endorsed her - every establishment democrat - yet this is indirect opposition to the democratic base's desires per every poll. Corporate media refuses to address this.

If yall woulda listened to Black people we woulda had 2 term Hillary Clinton handing over to Kamala Harris! We would have a majority LIBERAL court locked in for all our lifetimes and we wouldnt be in a dumb as war with Iran, Emma!

people love to post about how "you're not gonna like it when there's millions of unmarried aimless young men" and like Japan and Korea have been running this field experiment for years and they're mostly just playing video games and jerking off

Israel said the war was about the hostages. All 251 were returned by January 26, 2026. Hamas hasn’t fired a rocket into Israeli territory since April 2025. Sixteen months. Israeli strikes on Gaza haven’t stopped for a single day. So what is their excuse now?

It's demoralizing living in a nonstop Abuse-a-thon: we've had to learn the sordid details of so many men's abhorrent behavior; I mean this summer has been Graham Platner, Andrew Tate, Jared Leto, Max Miller, plus the horrific L.A. rape-murder of the child by the rapper, to name a few lowlights.

El-Sayed: There is so much more that unites us, however much we might disagree with our democratic opponent, there is so much more that unites us than divides us. And so to all of our supporters here tonight watching on TV—tomorrow, we begin to mend fences.

Abdul also emphasizes the need to unify: "despite differences with my Democratic opponent, there is so much more that unites us than divides us" "no matter who wins tomorrow we have a responsibility to reunite tomorrow to defeat Mike Rogers" "always magnanimity in victory"
