Hey @LarryPDonnelly ..... 👋
Let’s cut to the quick. Stevens was not a great candidate. But El-Sayed is a terrible candidate. Likely forfeiture of a US Senate seat and a major blow to chances of a majority. Bonkers stuff.

The entire Democratic Party owes a massive debt of gratitude to Zohran Mamdani. Before his rapid rise, the party was largely rudderless, suffering from a loss of direction, momentum, and self-confidence. By drifting away from the working class, the party naturally saw voters walk away in response. Mamdani single-handedly corrected the course, bringing vital energy, ideological clarity, and an authentic connection back to the very people who had been left behind. Without his influence, the party’s current standing would look very different.

Union Vice President here✊🏻 We support our union brothers and sisters by voting for candidates who support workers, worker’s rights and unions. Your vote for a union busting candidate is a slap in the face to every union member. Shameful and disgusting.
Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien here. Just voted in the State of Florida for the first time, and very proud to have cast a ballot for @SenAshleyMoody. Sen. Moody has been extremely helpful working with the Teamsters to protect workers’ pensions, defend good-paying jobs, and support well-funded union apprenticeship programs. The Teamsters look forward to working with Sen. Moody in her role on the Senate HELP Committee to pass the Faster Labor Contracts Act and get this critical legislation signed into law to protect American workers.

Your quarterly reminder that President Biden and the Democrats "protected Teamsters pensions" over the objection of Trump, MAGA, and elected Republicans And this piece of shit has taken every opportunity since then to ratfuck the Dems, big time in 2024 and now here

Working class people’s lives are on the ballot on Tuesday—their healthcare, their rent, their bills. Haley Stevens just betrayed them by endorsing the very Republican she said she wanted to run against.
I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today.

On the eve of the eve of the eve of our BIG and important election, a unifying moment has arrived, our democratic nominee for U.S Senate disavows the Rebellion PAC ad made by Hasan Piker’s uncle that claims Jews are responsible for America’s economic woes. We have learned from party leaders and emissaries, as reported in the news media that he has. On Sunday I will join with the Great Democratic leader, Jim Clyburn and Dr El Sayed for a church service in the beautiful city of Detroit. The political coalition of Black and Jewish voices that have carried Michigan and this country through so many storms to the righteous path of liberal democracy and equal opportunity for all will ring out. Full statement here:

This guy, Leo V, sounds great. I remember when the last Fine Gael leader refused to sign up to the EU’s living wage directive. That fella, also Leo V, was an awful Tory.
The government has put the Living Wage on the long-finger due to concerns that it's putting too many businesses under too much pressure. Ok. But what is it's policy now when it comes to helping out people who work hard for low-pay? IMO - there are plenty of options but having no serious policy at all should not be one of them.
