I am a proud and loyal Democrat. I served in President Clinton’s National Security Council and worked for Madeleine Albright at the State Department. I ran for Congress as a Democrat, have voted Democratic all my life, and expect to continue doing so.
But I would never vote for Abdul El-Sayed. In my judgment, he does not represent the values of our party or our nation. I urge my fellow patriotic Democrats in Michigan to leave the Senate line blank or vote for Republican Mike Rogers.
This is an exceptional case, and I do not make this recommendation lightly. We can support Democratic majorities nationally while refusing to support a candidate who violates our core values. Loyalty to our party should strengthen our principles, never require us to abandon them.

We deserve a Dave Green Oscar nomination.

One thing (perhaps the only thing) I will give Junior credit for is he reconciled with Sirhan Sirhan, and believed he did not pull the trigger. I hesitate to say it’s what makes these racist comments surprising because I don’t like Junior, but it does make them more upsetting.
Never thought I’d say this, but you’d have to hand it too the two of them. This is as racist a comment as I’ve ever seen, and it deeply upsets me
Morning Joe gets emotional over RFK Jr.'s racist anti-Arab remarks
Bobby Kennedy was the reason I got involved in politics and I told Jr. that. He understood that we were stronger as were more diverse.
It's hard to even imagine how ashamed he would be of his son for denigrating over a billion people because of their faith.
Specifically when Bobby Kennedy talked about how America had to move to becoming a country that moved beyond prejudices based on faith and race.
This is what RFK Jr. did when he campaigned with Mike Rogers, another guy that I've known, liked, respected—who's running an abhorrent, racist, bigoted campaign.

I agree with your larger point, but I disagree with Emily’s point. I think about Elizabeth Warren in 2020. I think about Cori Bush for Congress in 2020. Heck, my own Senate primary with Jess in Delaware. If anything candidate and or campaign (see bush 26) quality has dropped

Genuinely feel terrible for the Starcruiser project team. Imagine you invest years into a concept that gets run into the ground by the company, then its legacy becomes a YouTuber trashing it, and then zombie Simpsons trashes it along with said YouTuber

Yeah man I regress to language literal 6 year olds use when I’m totally not scared
Non-ironically I think the truth is closer to this than people think. He realized he needed to level up for Star Wars, and then that collaboration with gosling made it a consistent pattern
I’ve been telling you he is genuinely a solid journeyman. And the way people feel about him is misdirected righteous anger at Reynolds.
Yep. Between this and having Claudio Miranda for starfighter, I think he’s aware of the limitations of George Richmond visually and wants to work with actual DP’s, and I applaud him for that
The man said you’re never conflating me with George Richmond ever again. Respect.
Shawn Levy's ‘GHOST RIDER’ will be shot on film.
Linus Sandgren (‘Dune: Part 3’) is the cinematographer.
