I’m so honored to have Senator Gary Peters’ support in this race for U.S. Senate. These are big shoes to fill, but I’m committed to delivering for Michiganders just like Sen. Peters has done for almost two decades. Together we’re going to keep MI blue and help flip the US Senate.

The pick me girls never learn. After the Platner fiasco they’re going all in for Al-Sayed. Not only is he trafficking in Jewish conspiracy tropes, ableism and misogyny, but he’s openly lying to voters. Billionaires are going to pay for everything. It’s a crass lie to tell. It‘s snake oil.

I'm considering blocking you right now. And it's not because I find your strident naivete annoying. It's because I can't tell who you are or where you're from. You might be a busybody know-it-all foreigner a la Jeet Heer. /1

Thanks to the ACA, I could use my parents’ insurance before I turned 26, which meant I could afford hearing aids . I have a lot problems with calling the ACA a watered-down kowtow to the health industry just because it’s not unicorn dust. I also doubt people in MI hated their auto jobs being saved.

El-Sayed announced his candidacy in April of last year. That's plenty of time to get this information together.

Platner whined tonight. Bernie and his stans said the 2016 nomination was rigged against him. Warren agreed with Bernie. Nina Turner blamed outside money for her loss and acted like she didn't actually lose. Leftists are whiners. Just like Trump & the radical right. They can't admit they're wrong.

This post is terrible. Here's an explanation for those who think El-Sayed can do no wrong. It's word salad that indicates disapproval of Graham Platner. But nowhere does El-Sayed call for Platner to drop out of the race.

Just saw Haley Stevens being interviewed on Morning Joe. She made an excellent case for her candidacy. She's certainly the best candidate now for the Dems in November and for Michigan going forward.

Actually, let me correct that: The section of Abdul's statement regarding Mallory & her supporters was fine, as was Haley's. The section of claiming to be "bullied" is a crock of shit as HIS supporters are the ones who "bullying" people, as anyone who attended the MI Dems convention witnessed.

I'm grateful to have AG Dana Nessel's support in the fight to keep Michigan's Senate seat blue! For years, we've worked together to serve Michigan and stand up to the Trump administration, most recently when we fought to stop the ICE detention facility in Romulus. Thank you AG Nessel!

250 years ago, our Founders built something new: a nation governed by the people, endowed with the unalienable rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. The work toward a "more perfect union" is far from finished. At 250, it's just beginning. It's on all of us to keep it alive. 🇺🇸

I’m so sick of variations on “we need fighters” when it really just means performative actions (meant to go viral on social media) or saying the most unhinged things (also meant to go viral on social media). We are electing less and less serious people, and this ends badly for everyone.

An ad attacking Abdul El-Sayed just aired on Detroit-area TV. He apparently has a long record of extremely ugly statements about women. They didn't even bring up the horrible comments he made about Haley Stevens in his Semafor interview Tuesday. - Abdul El-Sayed is a misogynist.

I have no doubt Mallory McMorrow and Abdul El-Sayed are both saying, "Better Haley Stevens than me." It's hard to imagine a Democrat wanting their endorsement in a primary election.

In the Michigan Dem Senate race, Haley Stevens got the endorsement none of them wanted. She's the choice of the Detroit News editorial board.

I dearly hope Abdul El-Sayed is asked about this horrible quote at a candidate debate. He owes Haley Stevens a public apology.

They’re calling it, “free speech.” The Supreme Court has turned into Donald Trump’s law firm at this point. Stop pretending it’s neutral. Expand the court.

We must document every single rule and norm that Trump has violated — that is not illegal but should be — and pass it into law. We cannot have someone else come in and abuse this office the way that Donald Trump has ever again.

Obama set up the commission 10 years in advance expecting a huge patriotic event named for and about AMERICA. Trump took America right out of both the name and the event, made it about him, and threw it together with less prep and care than a preschool graduation.
