🚨 @AbdulElSayed: At the end of the day, if you want corporate government, you've got corporate government right here. They're going to get rich, and you? You're going to pay the cost.

[BoldProgressives.org @BoldProgressive]

@AbdulElSayed on Social Security: Scrap the cap. Make the rich pay their fair share. Retire with dignity.

@MikeRogersForMI on Social Security: Cut it. Privatize it with Wall Street. Raise the retirement age.

[BoldProgressives.org @BoldProgressive]

@AbdulElSayed: "You know, @MikeRogersForMI is right. You're going to hear two very different visions. You're going to hear the MAGA vision, where you stand hip to hip with Donald Trump on all of his worst policies, policies that are raising the price of your gas, making it impossible to afford your groceries. And you're going to hear a form of MAGA bingo because the thing about MAGA is, whenever they're talking, they are trying to distract you.

They're going to use buzzwords, and I'm hoping that y'all can play at home every time you hear one of those buzzwords. Just remember, when they're distracting you, they're also trying to pick your pocket. It's a form of corporatized bribery. And in the end, I don't take money from corporations. I'm looking to fight for you."

The job of @neeratanden is to make sure our corrupt system never changes. So, for her to concede that if @AbdulElSayed wins, progressives/populists can win anywhere is a bellwether. If Abdul wins, now everyone agrees, outsider candidates are more likely to win general elections.

[BoldProgressives.org @BoldProgressive]

BREAKING: @AOC just donated $1 million to help @AbdulElSayed win? Here's why...

Question last night to @neeratanden: "If a progressive candidate this year were to win a in a competitive race, like Abdul El Sayed in Michigan, would you consider that to be vindication of the electability of progressive politics?"

Neera's answer to @mehdirhasan: "If he wins, it absolutely vindicates that a candidate like him can win there." Boom. Let's win this thing!

@TroyJackson207 @SenSusanCollins @TroyJackson207: “I'm not going to let the billionaires write the rules. I mean, there's a common theme here between these questions… @SenSusanCollins gets donations from these companies, Elon Musk, Palantir, all these companies that want AI and want data centers.”

[BoldProgressives.org @BoldProgressive]

@TroyJackson207: “I find it hypocritical for @SenSusanCollins to talk about how she wants to lower price health care. I mean, what she did was take $3 to $5 million out of our health care system here in Maine when she supported the Big Beautiful Bill. She took SNAP benefits away. She took heating assistance away, so that people like Elon Musk and her other donors got an income tax cut.”

[BoldProgressives.org @BoldProgressive]

@TroyJackson207: “@SenSusanCollins keeps talking about all the power and authority that she has, but she never has it unless it's for one of her donors… That is not how you're supposed to be using your power as the most powerful U.S. Senate Chair of Appropriations. Do something about it.”

[BoldProgressives.org @BoldProgressive]

@AbdulElSayed: "I want to guarantee every single person in this country cradle to grave coverage without premiums, copays, deductibles. That doesn't have a network. That does not pay a corporate CEO tens of millions of dollars a year that allows you to have the security of knowing you're not going to be one of the millions of people in this country who fall into medical debt to the tune of $225 billion.“

[BoldProgressives.org @BoldProgressive]

@AbdulElSayed: "I work for the people of the state of Michigan. I have never taken a dime from a corporation to run a campaign. This guy took more money from corporate Super PACs than anybody in the Michigan delegation when he was in Congress. Called himself the champion of big pharma. I don't work for them. I don't work for big insurance, who's also bought him off. I don't work for Big Tech, who's bought him off. I don't work for DTE, who's also bought him off. I work for the people, and I believe, as such, we have the responsibility to work with anybody who is going to champion the issues that people have."

[BoldProgressives.org @BoldProgressive]

@AbdulElSayed: "I’m a doctor, and I'm a dad. And as a dad, I know how much it costs me to fill up my gas tank. It is insane- $80, $80 to fill your gas tank. And yes, I would support pausing the federal gas tax. But there is one thing that is actually causing this. It's the war in Iran, a war that has been cheerled by my opponent since the beginning, called it a win, win, win. I don't know about you, but when I go to the gas tank, I don't feel like I'm winning. I don't feel like our country is winning."

[BoldProgressives.org @BoldProgressive]

In spin room, @MalloryMcMorrow makes clear some of @AbdulElSayed's best economic points in tonight's debate. Tied Mike Rogers to Big Pharma, Iran war that jacked up gas prices, and monetizing his time in Congress with millions of dollars and yachts.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

El-Sayed: "He's personally invested in a company that controls the real estate for the Saline data center. I should ask him: If he wants a moratorium, should the construction stop on his personal investment? Because I'd love it to. We need government that is not bought off."

[Bhavik Lathia @bhaviklathia]

Near-perfect intro from @AbdulElSayed.

In one minute and twelve seconds, he ties both Trump and the Iran War around Mike Roger's neck... and connects all three of them to the cost of living crisis.

[Senate Majority PAC @MajorityPAC]

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is off to a STRONG start in tonight’s debate. It’s simple: Michiganders deserve a senator who will work to improve their lives and lower costs.

Not a rubber stamp for Trump’s reckless policies like Mike Rogers.

[Adam Wren @adamwren]

Scoop: Former President Obama, when asked about his travel to Michigan for @AbdulElSayed at a fireside chat in Great Falls, Va., with Sen. Lisa Blunt Rochester, defended the decision, according to an excerpt:

“I’m going to go to Michigan to campaign for Abdul El-Sayed. And people are like, “Well, he’s really left wing.” But I don’t know, he’s for a higher minimum wage and health care for all, and it doesn’t seem crazy to me. You know, FDR was for that too."

[Prem Thakker @prem_thakker]

One of the best political ads you've ever seen

[BoldProgressives.org @BoldProgressive]

Well put. Big endorsement for @AbdulElSayed that frames the race in a productive way.

[Cole Wozniak @ColeWozniak]

NEWS —> the Detroit Free Press has endorsed Dr. Abdul El-Sayed:

“Everything you’ve heard about Michigan’s U.S. Senate race is true: An extremist is asking voters to send him to Washington, masking an agenda far out of step with Michigan's mainstream under the pretense of normalcy. If elected, this man would urge America down a dark path, changing the shape of our nation, perhaps irrevocably.

“But that man is not Abdul El-Sayed.

“El-Sayed, the Democratic candidate for Michigan's open Senate seat, is a charismatic public servant with an American-as-apple-pie biography: Born in Oakland County, he’s a former high school football player, a University of Michigan graduate who trained as a doctor and married his college sweetheart.

“An unabashed capitalist who champions universal health care, views foreign policy through an America-first lens and believes corporate spending in politics must end, El-Sayed has tapped into voters' frustration with a government that takes more from us, and delivers less.”

“The vibes on the ground are the worst I’ve seen in my life…”

Hmmm. Can’t relate.

[Lisa Kashinsky @lisakashinsky]

One battleground Dem talking AI safeguards despite possibility of industry spending against him: Abdul El-Sayed in #MISEN.

"I don't really think about that" he told me. "I've been targeted by $100M super PACs before. Good luck. I'd rather be on the truth than dodge their money"
