Sanders: In all due respect to Congresswoman Stevens, everyone knows that this is not an election between her and Abdul El-Sayed. This is an election between Abdul and the billionaire class. That is what this election is about. A billionaire class which has already—and there are two weeks left to go in the election—already spent $50 million against him. Now, I want everybody here throughout the state, people turning on their TVs and seeing all these ads, I want you to ask yourself a simple question: Why are the richest people in the country spending tens and tens of millions of dollars to defeat Abdul El-Sayed? Why does the billionaire class feel that they need to outspend him in this election 12 to 1? Twelve to one. What are they afraid of? And the answer is obvious: They understand quite correctly that when Abdul is elected to the Senate, he will work with me and other progressives in taking on the greed of the billionaire class. That’s what the billionaires are afraid of and they should be afraid.

Just found the most whimsical and quintessential embodiment of what the furry community exists for It's like a kids show for adults, I love it so much they seem so wonderful

I see Haley Stevens connecting with a demographic she needs to win this primary. Maybe spend less time making jokes about her being in a Black church and more time getting Abdul to knock on some church doors. He is going to need those voters too. And unlike the younger voters Abdul does best with, older Black churchgoers are among the most reliable Democratic primary voters. I’m sorry you think it’s corny, but this is the work!

establishment dems are fearful of the insurgent candidacies of abdul for MI senate & francesca hong for WI governor. they tell us, they fear these candidates will fail in purple states against republicans in the general. what rw dems actually fear is the success of insurgent left candidates especially in purple states. they fear that the voters are waking up to the reality that the actual electable candidates are the ones that will fight FOR something, not just put on a show against trump. insurgents that will center working class needs over corporate profits. this threatens the power of the corporate dems that have controlled the party for decades and allowed this country to be dominated by increasingly repulsive far right politics that brought us trump twice. we say no more!

It’s become impossible to ignore the way that people online make fun of my opponent for things that have nothing to do with her policies or politics. It’s unkind and unhelpful. If you support me, please stop. Focus on the issues: Congresswoman Stevens has welcomed corporations and special interests to support her. She votes to send our money abroad while Michiganders struggle. She’s bought by DTE, Blue Cross, Big Tech, and Big Pharma who pick our pockets. AIPAC, Trump-aligned billionaires, and corporate PACs are spending $50,000,000+ to support her. THOSE are the issues. We don’t need to be unkind to be honest.

🚨 The North Carolina Republican Party is now under fire after their plot to mass close polling locations in black communities has been exposed.

Message for all of those progressive DSA punks all over my Twitter today over my concern for the Democratic party moving away from me. You are the same group who didn't vote, or engaged in protest votes, in the last election. You are the reason Kamala Harris lost. You are the reason we have Trump. You never did care about the party. You never cared about the work to reduce gun violence. You only cared about pushing the party away from Israel. Nothing else mattered to you and Trump is the result. I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR OPINION NOW!!!

Is America the most racist country in the world today? I didn’t expect this answer from Democratic Socialist leader Bhaskar Sunkara.

I just left Costco and I feel like an idiot... The people in front of me bought $1,200 in top shelf alcohol, cases of redbull, and steaks. They split it up and paid for the steaks and redbull with EBT, and then pulled out a giant wad of $100 bills to pay for the alcohol in cash. WTF am I doing with my life??? I haven't bought steak in years - I haven't bought alcohol in decades. Too expensive. On the rare occasion we eat out, I buy the cheapest thing on the menu. Yet these people can just casually drop thousands of dollars of my tax money on things I can't even afford?? Just to drive home to a taxpayer funded house nicer than I live in. We are completely destroyed as a society.
