They want money out of politics, money in their pockets, and Medicare for All. Now it's time to unite, build on this momentum, and send Abdul to the U.S. Senate by defeating Mike Rogers. All hands on deck to win big in November.

Congratulations @abdulelsayed.bsky.social! Outspent 11 to 1, Abdul proved that people-powered campaigns can still beat big money. Michiganders chose hope over fear, and a future rooted in dignity, justice, and opportunity.
NEWS: Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) just dropped out of his re-election race at 3:32 a.m.m. He said he’s done running but will finish out his term. This after the House Ethics Committee found “substantial reason to believe [he] violated House Rules related to sexual harassment and hostile workplaces.”
Young, strong, radicalised, and idealistic people making their way into the government. Hell yeah! 🤟😎
by 'certain parties', surely they mean trump
particularly the naval blockade and other actions against the Islamic Republic and its interests—still persist.
an agreement with Oman in and of itself cannot mean that the strait has become safe for passing ships, since the destabilizing factors for the Strait of Hormuz—stemming from the United States,
Baghaei: The closure of the Strait of Hormuz resulted from U.S. and Israeli military actions against the Islamic Republic and the security consequences thereof for the entire region, and naturally,
Q: What message does it send if Trump fires a US attorney because she determined there was not sufficient evidence to charge four people with a crime? BLANCHE: If he fires a US attorney, it turns out he's allowed to do that because he's the president
my strong prior about michigan btw is that the vast majority of primary voters were actually happy to vote for either candidate in the general and will consolidate quite easily behind el-sayed just like they are coalescing behind talarico in texas online freakouts are not real life
Blanche refuses to say whether he was aware that Pirro was going to drop the charges against Hearn or approved her decision
Q: The president has publicly criticized Pirro for her decision to drop the reflecting pool case. Do you agree with the move to dismiss the charges? BLANCHE: *stammering word salad that doesn't answer question*
BLITZER: Why is Israel, another country, your red line right now, rather than a domestic issue that impacts Americans' everyday lives? FETTERMAN: Yeah, absolutely. And I agree with a lot of Democrats too. I called trash Platner.
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: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
El-Sayed: "Mike Rogers is a guy who wants to put a data center in your backyard so he can make himself feel a little more manly by making an AI video ... he's a guy who went back to Florida so he could lick every single boot Donald Trump owns to bet for his endorsement."
El-Sayed: "Mike, I'm gonna say it right now, I know you're gonna say no because you're a coward: Five debates, alright? ... By the time we're done, you are not gonna have safe quarter from people holding you accountable to what you've done for them here in Michigan. We will send you back to Florida"
El-Sayed on Islamophobia: "That's the only play they got. They're gonna point at me, they're gonna point at my name, like, 'Wow, he's different.' That's the best you got? You can't actually talk about what you want to do? My name is not raising your gas prices. My name is now taking us to war."
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."
"Detroit isn't NYC, socialism won't work in a purple state!" or something.... worker solidarity has true power. Nice job comrades in Detroit!
Congratulations to Donavan McKinney on winning his congressional primary, unseating a millionaire AIPAC stooge! Donavan is a former union member fighting to get money out of politics, a green new deal, and union jobs. @donavanmckinney.bsky.social @detroitdsa.bsky.social
There is now set to be at least nine democratic socialists in Congress. Donovan McKinney – alongside Melat Kiros, Claire Valdez, Darializa Avila Chevalier, Brad Lander, and Chris Rabb – will join Bernie Sanders, Rashida Tlaib, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Another outcome I'm happy with. Progressive Donavan McKinney has defeated peculiar incumbent Shri Thanedar to represent this Detroit-area #MI13 seat. For a variety of reasons, this is precisely the kind of district where a progressive challenge was called for.
