BREAKING: LOL! Dr. Abdul El-Sayed flips the tables and makes fun of his MAGA opponent's name amidst desperate Republican efforts to fearmonger over his.
Political talent like this doesn't come along very often...
"Now, Mike, I'm just gonna remind you, if you don't know how to say the name, keep the name out your damn mouth. Or just call me Abdul," said El-Sayed, the Democratic candidate for Senate in Michigan, at a rally.
"But I got some opinions about his name," he continued. "See, it's very fitting for him, 'Rogers.' Because that's his answer every time a corporation or Donald Trump tells him to do something."
"Mike, we need you to put a data center in the backyard. Roger!"
"Mike, we need you to hike their prescription drug prices. Roger!"
"Mike, we need you to rubber stamp this war we shouldn't be fighting. Roger!"
"Mike, and this one's Donald Trump, I need you to lick these boots. Roger!"
"And I think I speak for all of us here in Michigan when I say that we are done with Rogers. Go back to Florida where you belong," he added.
This is how you confront right-wing bigotry: with class, humor, and confidence. Republicans have been running nonstop attack ads using his full name, Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, because they think that Arabic sounds inherently scary to Americans. It's right out of the "Barack Hussein Obama" playbook.
It's a pathetic strategy meant to distract from the fact that Mike Rogers has nothing to offer the people of Michigan beyond lockstep support for Trump's kleptocratic, warmongering, pedophiliac regime.
Would you vote for Dr. Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed?
Please ❤️ and share if you think he'd make a great presidential candidate one day!
The Wisconsin media cares more about Franny’s old tweets than they do about Tom Tiffany supporting pedophiles, strip mining our lands, stripping women’s rights, and denying election results.

On the night of April 28, 1944, more American soldiers were killed rehearsing for D-Day than were killed storming Utah Beach on D-Day itself. It happened in secret, and the survivors were ordered to take it to their graves. Most did.
Six weeks before the real invasion, the US Army staged a full dress rehearsal at Slapton Sands in Devon, a beach chosen because it looked almost exactly like the Normandy shore codenamed Utah. Eisenhower wanted it realistic, so they used live ammunition. That decision killed men before the enemy even arrived, when timing went wrong and incoming troops were shelled by their own naval guns on the sand. But the worst was still hours away.
Just after midnight, a convoy of eight tank landing ships, packed with men, trucks and fuel, was crawling across Lyme Bay in a long slow line. Out in the dark, nine German E-boats had slipped in from Cherbourg, and they could not believe what they were seeing. The convoy was nearly defenseless. One escort ship had been damaged in a collision and sent to port, never replaced. Worse, a typo had put the landing ships and their lone escort on different radio frequencies, so the warnings that could have saved them were broadcast to no one.
The E-boats opened fire. One ship burst into flames, another was hit and went under in about six minutes, taking hundreds down with her. Men poured into water barely above freezing. Then the cruelest detail: they had been issued life belts but never trained to wear them, so many strapped them around the waist instead of under the arms. When they jumped, the weight of their packs flipped them face-down, and the belts held them there. Hundreds drowned upside down in their own life jackets.
By dawn, around 749 Americans were dead, more than would die taking the actual beach on June 6. And the generals had a problem bigger than the bodies. Ten of the officers aboard held BIGOT clearance and knew the time and place of the entire invasion. If even one had been pulled alive from the sea by the Germans, D-Day would have had to be cancelled. Frantic teams searched the water for all ten. Every body was recovered. The secret held.
So the whole thing was buried. Bodies quietly interred, paperwork sealed, survivors warned that talking meant court martial. The records were not declassified until 1974. For decades these men had no monument and no mention. They died twice, once in the water and once in the silence that followed.
It was called Exercise Tiger. Now you know.
MAGA Wisconsin is ripping on Franny Hong, a single mother, because she has $30K in personal debt, but had no issue with Scott Walker having $300K in personal debt.
Then Walker became Governor, the debt disappeared, and he purchased a swanky condo.
If you live in Wisconsin, and are unhappy with your property taxes, remember this:
The Legislature has been run by Republicans for the last 16 years.
Republicans refused to add any funding to Public Schools, which forces communities to have referendums.
This is 100% on @WisGOP
The #BadBunny#HalfTime show at the #SuperBowl was always going to be great, but the racism is going to make it epic. It’ll break all sorts of viewership records and make a statement bc we, the non-haters, are legion.
🚨NEW: Donald Trump has attacked USA Olympic skier Hunter Hess on social media, calling him a “real loser” for expressing concern about the murders of Alex Pretti and Renee Good by ICE.
RETWEET if you stand with Hess against Trump!
#NFL Films' Steve Sabol recounts several of the antiquated stadiums — and often impossible-to-believe playing and practice conditions — of the American Football League during the 1960s.
Foxconn is the largest financial disaster in Wisconsin history.
Billions spent, people ripped from their homes, all for nothing.
This is how @ScottWalker and @SpeakerVos described the deal.
Fuck the both of them.
Fuck the both of them hard.
Biden’s Infrastructure Act helped expand the FAA but when Pete Buttigieg went to the House of Representatives and asked for funding to hire 3000 more air traffic controllers, Republicans said no because they don’t want to give Pete a win. This is why we’re in this mess.
