Listen to this: Bernie Sanders: "Musk and the other billionaires are flooding the airways with racist, Islamophobic ads, because they have nothing to say about health care, climate, AI, or foreign policy." El-Sayed's facial expressions say the rest.

62% of Michigan voters support Medicare for All, even if it replaces private insurance.
Abdul’s Medicare For All plan really means healthcare for no one. Our neighbors to the north are suffering under the same government-rationed healthcare system Abdul wants to bring to the US. We have to stop him.

Donald Trump cares more about Nicki Minaj’s ass than he does about whether life is affordable for the people of Michigan.

Politico: Chris Van Hollen says a Democratic-controlled Senate should pursue Medicare for All. “The reality is people are facing huge increases in premiums and copays. … So we need a Medicare-for-All-type solution,” Van Hollen said. “This is the kind of debate we need to have.” Link: politico.com/news/2026/10/26…

I really think everyone needs to pay attention to this cordinated campaign to delegimatize Muslim Americans - not just as citizens but as humans. These increasingly hysterical attacks are a prelude to Republicans bringing us to a very, very dark place after the election.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Novel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

If you want to debate policy issues, that is fine. That's a good thing. But I've got a real problem with the Islamophobia coming from @MikeRogersforMI and his campaign. Michiganders will see through it.

OSSOFF: If you’re late with your rent, the machinery of late fees and eviction is very efficient. But when you tell your landlord about the black mold in your daughter’s bedroom, nobody comes for four months. And then, when you’ve got to take her to the hospital for her asthma attack, you get a $3,000 bill for the ambulance. Life was already hard enough before Donald Trump lied us into war, before his tariffs made everything more expensive, and before he doubled your health insurance premiums and slashed Medicaid. It costs more today than ever before in American history to fill up your truck, to stock your fridge, to power your home, to go to the doctor. Meanwhile, and you’ve seen it, the president and the first family line their pockets to the tune of billions of dollars. The time has come to wield the power granted to us by our Constitution and rebuke this obscenity.

Replying to @AbdulElSayed
@AbdulElSayed: it's easier in our current system for a billionaire to make a second billion than it is for the average worker to make their first $100,000. And I would rather live in an America where it's harder to make a second billion than it is to make your first $100,000.

Help get @abdulelsayed elected to the senate! Jewish safety depends on a real multiracial democracy—and Abdul is the one fighting to protect it. Get involved and help at abdulforsenate.com/vote go.abdulforsenate.com We know how much it matters to live in a country where our rights are protected, where the law applies equally to everyone, and where the majority can’t just decide that some people don’t deserve the same freedoms. The safety and freedom we’ve found in America didn’t happen by accident. They exist because of democracy. And protecting democracy means protecting Jewish safety, too. We know what happens when those protections start to break down. When courts are weakened, elections are undermined, and people lose equal protection under the law, minorities are often the first to pay the price. Jews have seen this throughout our history. It’s one of the reasons so many of our families sought refuge in democratic countries. That’s why I find it so alarming to see what’s happening right now. When masked government agents are taking people off the streets and citizens are being shot in public, we should all be worried about where things are headed. As Jews, we know that when a government starts targeting certain groups of people, no one should assume they’re safe from what comes next. Mike Rogers has chosen to align himself with a movement that is willing to attack our democracy. He stood with Trump and refused to accept the results of the 2020 election. And now we’re seeing what happens when a political movement treats the rights and dignity of certain people as disposable. For Jews, these things should set off alarm bells. Jewish safety is tied to the health of our democracy. We can’t protect one without protecting the other. And in this Senate race, Abdul is the candidate who understands that and is willing to fight for it. #abdulelsayed #democracy #jewish #midterms
