.@AbdulElSayed makes the fundamental point that criticism of Israel's misconduct is not necessarily a swipe at Jews any more than criticism of Egypt's misconduct is is a swipe at Arabs. If you don't care for human rights for all, you don't actually care about human rights at all.
I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points.

Lawyers for Democrat Scott Colom are warning election officials across Mississippi that Republicans' demand to segregate affidavit ballots from other ballots “will violate Mississippi voters’ rights and Mississippi election law.”

hadn't really hit me that some of the voters who just sent a Black man to the Senate from Mississippi remember having to pay poll taxes. American history is so short. Historic. So so so so so happy for them.

Democratic Rep. Shomari Figures just won a huge upset victory in Alabama's 2nd congressional district.
This was a district that the Alabama GOP specifically gerrymandered to oust Figures after the Supreme Court dismantled the Voting Rights Act.
But Black voters turned out in huge numbers to counteract that decision.

In a gerrymandered district, our campaign was within a single point of winning. Thank you to everyone who worked to make that a reality. I am immensely grateful.
I will continue to fight for the people of TN and together our movement is just getting started.

The MS Secretary of State used expired Experian data to "clean up" the voter rolls, inactivating many eligible Mississippi voters who then voted by affidavit ballot. Just anecdotally, I heard stories about it being a mess, especially in DeSoto County mississippitoday.org/2026/11…

It's so interesting to see these conversations about Mississippi. Most times y'all speaking down on us. Now I see so many posts about "invest in Mississippi" when folks on the ground have been screaming from the rooftops about investment for years.

Mississippi is going down to the wire.

One big question that is starting to emerge tonight.. did national Democrats miss a massive opportunity to invest in Florida?

The independent republic of Horry -- a major MAGA county (and where I grew up!) -- looks close in SC.

Mara Gay (who went to college with El-Sayed) on Morning Joe:
One thing you learn when you're not a white American is that it sometimes doesn't matter what you want to talk about.
The more the Republicans try to make it about Islamophobia, the angrier voters appear to be getting because they want to talk about health care. They want to talk about why they can't afford their lives.
He decided to run because he cares about Michiganders. I know that. He can be very stubborn. He also cares about people.
