Smokers are the most discriminated against Americans by far, economically, socially, politically. But it’s fine, because we still get to light a cigarette and say, “fuck it.”
For the first time in @metrotimes history, we’re no longer seeking comment from a candidate’s campaign because of repeated lies and bigoted attacks. That candidate is Mike Rogers, whose campaign keeps targeting Abdul El-Sayed’s Muslim faith. https://t.co/PdAxDiE7i8
"For myself, I always write about Dublin, because if I can get to the heart of Dublin I can get to the heart of all the cities of the world. In the particular is contained the universal.”

We’re hearing ad nauseam about anti-Trump sentiment this election but the reality is there is a broader anti-incumbency and anti-corruption backlash across the board.
Those dynamics are playing out differently in each state — and in MN they could push Michelle Tafoya to victory. @TheStoryFNC
NEW YORK TIMES now confirming my reporting from weeks ago that El-Sayed signed a letter in support of the Muslim Brotherhood in 2012
(naturally not crediting the Free Beacon at all)
El-Sayed also refused to comment on letter to them!)

People argue that internal polls must be more accurate or campaigns wouldn’t spend millions on them. But that’s not quite right.
When a campaign buys an internal, the value is not in the top line prediction, it’s in the cross tabs. Am I struggling with a group, a region, an issue? So even if the top line is 7 points off, you’ve gained actionable insight. For us, in the news, we do some cursory cross tab dives, but the real value is the prediction.

🚨 BREAKING:
Hunt: "Do you believe Israel has a right to exist?"
Abd El-Sayed: "Now, the question of the right to exist is interesting, because I've never been asked whether I believe Palestine has a right to exist. Israel exists. The question is whether we want a policy where our money is sent to Israel to commit genocide and apartheid, rather than investing it in our children."
Hunt: "Does it have a right to exist?"
“On the ground, one could almost describe the race as a Thanksgiving dinner in which Rogers is your calm, conservative, wealthy uncle and El-Sayed is the new college boyfriend who keeps talking about how terrible American capitalism is and why the football game on tv is toxic.”
