He interrupted. Like they always do. Thought he could talk over her, steamroll her time, dismiss her authority. But Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett didn’t raise her voice. Didn’t match his energy. Didn’t need to. She just stopped, looked at him,

MSNOW: What is your message now to Jewish voters nationally and what you will do to protect them?
Abdul El-Sayed: I’m committed to Jewish safety, and we are united against discrimination. The U.S. spends billions to carry out genocide and apartheid against Palestinians. The genocide in Gaza with our complicity is continuing right now. Nobody wants to talk about that.

BREAKING: SWEET KARMA! Democrat Scott Colom, who is about to win the Mississippi Senate seat, only ran after his MAGA opponent stopped him from obtaining a lifetime federal judge position!
This is one of the most glorious backfires in American history...
Back in November of 2022, President Biden nominated Colom to the federal district court in northern Mississippi. He received support from the state's senior senator, Republican Roger Wicker.
But Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith, who Colom is now leading by 1,764 in the vote count from Tuesday, refused to support the nomination. In fact, she blocked the Senate from even considering him by withholding her blue slip, an old Senate custom that lets one home-state senator veto a judge.
She defended her indefensible move by insisting that he couldn't be trusted with such power because of past support for transgender rights. In reality, she was just pandering to the racist MAGA base by blocking a Black Democrat.
But if she hadn't blocked him, Colom would be a judge right now. Instead, he's poised to take Hyde-Smith's seat, flipping a seat that a Democrat hasn't been able to win since 1972 in a state that handed Trump 61% of its vote in 2024.
While the race has not yet been called, if Colom maintains this lead, as he seems likely to do, the seat is his.
Please ❤️ and share if you can't wait to see Colom in the Senate!

I carry the lessons, strength, and resilience of the fierce Pueblo women who raised me.
It is the honor of my lifetime to serve New Mexico as your 33rd Governor — and to make history as the first Native American woman elected Governor in our nation’s history.
I will always fight for the people and communities that made me who I am.
Let’s get to work.

We are so much stronger together. We can overcome anything. Hate and fear have no place here. Love is winning. The people have spoken.
If anyone knows who this is, please let me know so I can tag them. Watch til the end

The many beat the money. The people beat the corporations and special interests. Hope beat hate and fear.
Michigan, we won.

I’m running for governor.
For over a decade, Greg Abbott has made it easier for billionaires to profit while hardworking Texans struggle to afford groceries, housing, and healthcare.
But together, we can make Texas work for Texans again.

NBC: “What do you think Haley Stevens future is in the Democratic Party?”
@MichiganDems chair @CurtisHertelJr: “I don’t think she has one. Or in elected office… she lied to me. She lied to Jim Clyburn… I don’t think anyone cares what she thinks. Abdul is going to win.”

Politico reports that Black voter turnout is reshaping the midterm elections across the South.
Share this if you are Black in the South and want to send a message. Help ensure we don’t get drowned out.
We have to ensure that Black political power translate into Black political representation be engaging our people today’s
Each of these candidates can win on Tuesday if Black voters show up in big numbers.
Georgia: Keisha Lance Bottoms, Governor @keishabottoms
South Carolina: Jermaine Johnson, Governor @drjermainejohnson
Florida: Angie Nixon, U.S. Senate @angieforfl
Mississippi: Scott Colom, U.S. Senate @scott_colom
Louisiana: Jamie Davis, U.S. Senate @jamieforlouisiana
These races raise a bigger question: Who benefits from the surge in Black voter participation? We cannot trust that other communities will support Black candidates so we have to turnout at a higher number to ensure they win too.
Their winning will equal more investment in our communities, which is not happening at the levels it should because we only hold a few of these positions of power.
November 3 is Election Day. Know your ballot and make your voice heard.
I need you engaging the people in your network. Outvote the racism.
Share if you care. 🦾

BREAKING: A member of Perfecting Church in Detroit is FURIOUS after Mike Rogers appeared alongside Haley Stevens.
“It’s UNCONSCIONABLE! This is CRAZY!”
He says he confronted Stevens after the service: “I’m completely disappointed in you.”
Her response? “I’m sorry.”

2 DAYS, Florida. ⏳
We’re not just knocking doors in Democratic neighborhoods. We’re out in Republican neighborhoods too, having real conversations with as many people as we can all across this state.
I’m going to be the senator for ALL the people of Florida. And I want every one of you to know I’ve got your back.
Vote for me on or before November 3rd.
