[UAW @UAW]

Today, the UAW issued a cease and desist against a Super PAC called "A Stronger Michigan" for use of the UAW's "wheel" logo in election ads promoting a candidate not endorsed by the Union.

This is yet another example of why we need dark money corporate PACs out of our politics. These ads are a deliberate attempt at misleading voters in Michigan, including hundreds of thousands of active and retired UAW members and their families across the state.

The UAW has a member-driven approach to our endorsements. We reviewed questionnaires, interviewed candidates, and a Counsel of Local, Regional, and International leaders voted by a two-thirds majority to endorse @AbdulElSayed.

We will not stand for any corporate entity attempting to undermine our Union's democratic process.

[Cheyenne Hunt @CheyenneHuntCA]

Shawn Fain won UAW's biggest contract victories in 40 years and organized the South for the first time ever. Now, right before his re-election and ahead of a potential 2028 general strike, the DOJ opened a grand jury investigation into him — via a federal monitor Fain has clashed with since the UAW's Gaza ceasefire resolution.
Unions are one of the last real structural checks on oligarchy. That's exactly why the most effective labor leader in a generation is facing this kind of pressure right when it matters most. We need to watch this story closely.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

AIPAC is now spending 8x as much as Abdul El-Sayed's entire campaign on the MI Senate primary.

This race is not between Abdul and Haley Stevens. It is Abdul vs. AIPAC.

A billionaire-funded Super PAC shouldn't determine American elections or foreign policy. Let's support Abdul.

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

What happened to me in the West Bank was an outrage. But it is nothing compared to what Palestinians face every day.

It is time to share their stories that American politics have silenced and ignored. This is our first video about Palestinians we met.

[Denzel McCampbell @DenzMcCampbell]

It’s disappointing that the Black community is being used as pawns in races in MI. I know this is nothing new, but still…

From deceptive campaign tactics used by those who support Stevens for Senate to try to portray that Pres Obama supports her (he has not endorsed her)

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

Thank you to all those who reached out asking about my safety. I am home. But I cannot get the stories of the indignities Palestinian face out or my head. I am still processing it and wanted to share some of what I saw.

[Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @RepAOC]

Israel must release pediatrician Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, who has been held without charge for 18 months and now faces an imminent threat to his life from torture.

Israel must end the targeting of health workers and the inhumane treatment of Palestinians in arbitrary detention.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

Absolutely vile. The continued use of our tax dollars to terrorize Palestinians and US citizens is inhumane and unacceptable.

Grateful for Ro’s courage to show the world what is happening on the ground and for exposing the continued atrocities happening in the West Bank.

Israel’s genocidal apartheid regime must be stopped.

[Cameron Kasky @camkasky]

Ro and I visited the destroyed village of Zanuta and the site of an EU-funded school that got burned down by settlers.

It was here that we got intercepted and captured by settlers wielding American-made rifles. The IDF showed up to back up the settlers, not the U.S. congressman.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

If a U.S. Congressman can be forcibly detained by Israeli settlers in the West Bank, what do you think is happening to the Palestinians who live there?

Sadly, we know the answer.

Despite massive campaign spending by AIPAC, members of Congress must be very clear. NO MORE U.S. MILITARY AID TO THE EXTREMIST NETANYAHU GOVERNMENT.

[Dr. Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed]

Next week (7/14-7/20) @AIPAC is set to spend at least $3,847,990 against me.

Why? Because @HaleyforMI’s more committed to the future of a foreign country than keeping your tax dollars here to provide schools and healthcare for you and your kids.

Legalized bribery at its worst.

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

Israeli settlers, brandishing American made M4s, detained me & other Americans on my trip to Palestine.

When the IDF arrived, they sided with the settlers & continued our detention.

They made a huge mistake.

You will be hearing more soon. https://t.co/rZw8bRAn64

[Congressman Greg Casar @RepCasar]

Unacceptable.

I’m grateful to Rep. Khanna for speaking out and calling attention to the deplorable conditions in the West Bank. I’m glad he is safe.

America must stop funding this insanity.

[Dominic Michael Tripi @DMichaelTripi]

NEW: Democrat Congressman Ro Khanna detained by Israeli settlers and IDF during visit to Palestine.

[Politics & Poll Tracker 📡 @PollTracker2024]

Bangor Daily News: Democrat Troy Jackson says he is very interested in running for US Senate in Maine if Graham Platner steps aside

[Our Revolution @OurRevolution]

We love @ewarren and hope she endorses @AbdulElSayed. When progressive unite, we win 💙

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

ARE WE STILL LIVING IN A DEMOCRACY?

AIPAC, and other billionaire-funded super PACs, are preparing to spend tens of millions of dollars to defeat Dr. Abdul El-Sayed in the Michigan U.S. Senate race.

Why are they so determined to defeat him?

As a doctor, he believes in healthcare as a human right. He knows firsthand that our current healthcare system is broken and that we must pass Medicare for All.

As a taxpayer, he understands that we should not be spending over a trillion dollars on the military and billions of dollars supporting the genocidal Netanyahu government in Israel.

As a supporter of working families, he knows that we have to raise the minimum wage to a living wage and make it easier for workers to join unions.

Whether it is AIPAC, AI or crypto, billionaire-funded super PACs will spend unlimited amounts of money to undermine democracy and defeat candidates who stand with working people and challenge their power. We cannot allow them to succeed.

And that is precisely why we must do everything in OUR power to elect Abdul in the Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate primary on August 4.

They have the money. We have the people.

Let’s stand together and win.

[Dr. Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed]

AOC has spent her career taking on the powerful on behalf of everyday people, and she has shown all of us what courageous, smart, values-driven leadership looks like. I'm deeply honored to earn her endorsement. Onward to victory.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

In January, our administration inherited a $12 billion budget deficit — a fiscal crisis greater than the Great Recession. 

Today I am proud to announce that our balanced budget has cleared the final step and passed the New York City Council. 

We balanced the budget by taxing the rich and making government more efficient. We did not balance this budget on the backs of working people, and we never will. 

Every year that follows will build on these principles: Honest budgeting. Fiscal discipline. Transparent government. And an unwavering belief that working people deserve a government that delivers for them every day.

[Sara McGee for Texas HD 132 @SaraForTexLege]

I say this with no ill will and *some* animosity. I am a Democrat. I earned the nomination to be the person facing the Republican incumbent in Texas House District 132.

Over the last 18 months, I’ve built my own team using my OWN resources and collectively we have knocked on over 40,000 doors in that time.

Unless something crazy happens in the next 6 days, I will file a TEC report that shows that my campaign has ~$2,500 COH.

So when you say “Don't use our resources.” Literally what resources?

“Don't rely on our volunteers.” I’m sorry, WHOSE volunteers? Because you do not own volunteers.

“Don't use our infrastructure.” WHAT INFRASTRUCTURE? Because I am out here on an island in west Harris County and I may not even be able to afford yard signs ffs.

And last but not least: “Don't ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.”

Heard.

Loud and clear.

I won’t ask for anything.

I started this campaign knowing that this was a long shot. I had no money, no political experience or connections, and just a burning desire to just give something BETTER to my hometown than what they have now. And every part of my being is committed to achieving that goal.

And Jamie, I promise that I won’t use “your” resources to win.

God I hate politics.
