Rep. Ayanna Pressley has once again broken ranks with House Democratic leadership over endorsements, this time to support former Missouri Rep. Cori Bush. Pressley’s endorsement sets her squarely against the establishment wing of the party.

A 60 Minutes probe into Epstein's banking, with Wyden already interviewed, vanished right after Sharyn Alfonsi got pushed out under Bari Weiss. Same editor who stalled the CECOT migrant story until Stephen Miller got a say. CBS keeps calling it timing. Sure looks like a pattern.

Just so everyone knows, this is a tried-and-true mainstream media tactic. For progressives/leftist candidates, every election is a “crucial test” and any loss would serve as proof to the media that the latest left-side moment is at its end. Any win, though, just means it’s time to find a new test.
Politico@politico.com · 2d agoMichigan will provide another crucial test of whether progressives can not only keep up their winning streak in safe-blue seats but also break through in battlegrounds crucial for control of Congress. The stakes for the Democratic Party are huge.
I’m grateful to have the support of Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC and I look forward to working alongside the CPC in Congress.

I took a look at the Bluesky users who most frequently posted about Democratic MI Senate candidates July 12th-28th. Based on self-stated location, a much larger share of the accounts that most often post in support of Haley Stevens are from outside Michigan than those supporting Abdul El-Sayed.

Diarra from Detroit is still as specific, hilarious, and suspenseful in its second season. It's teeming with shenanigans, murder mysteries, and more, but it also has grounded, tender elements. And the cast, including some recognizable new guest stars, is so entertaining to watch.
