@ettingermentum Perhaps. Or it would have forced the establishment to spend umpteen millions defending Jeffries, leaving less for them to deploy elsewhere.

Ta-Nehisi Coates: “I don’t know how you remain consistent by claiming an anti-apartheid legacy here in the United States of America while enforcing it abroad.”

Coates told Chris Hayes that the Democratic Party cannot continue avoiding the issue of Gaza and Palestine, saying the party is already facing a political and moral reckoning ahead of 2028.

In the 15 seconds it took to film this ad, American taxpayers spent more than $150k to fund the illegal war in Iran.

Watch our new ad, “Stopwatch”⤵️

@ettingermentum Abdul has a lead, but special interests are flooding the airwaves with tens of millions of dollars. You can chip in to help him push this message to Michiganders: https://t.co/1w2XZfva7G

@Press4BC Democrats have repeatedly failed with Schumer's strategy of ignoring the working class ("For every blue-collar Democrat we lose in western PA, we will pick up two moderate Republicans in the suburbs in Philadelphia, and you can repeat that in OH and IL and WI.") He is a loser.

The World Cup should probably not be hosted in today's unwelcoming America - it is late, but perhaps not too late, to move as much as possible to the other two co-hosts, for the dignity of players, fans, others, and the beautiful game @FIFAWorldCup

[We Good in the North @WWFerguson2]

It's your responsibility to make sure the less politically-interested people in your circle know the deal, here. Because UDP is not going to mention "Israel" once in their ads, whether it's a pro-Stevens or anti-El-Sayed. Let them know who and what they are dealing with.

@IAPolls2022 Increasing momentum for Abdul El-Sayed - it seems like he has surpassed his 2018 share among primary voters even with many still undecided

[Darializa for Congress @DarializaforNY]

Last year, @ZohranKMamdani showed the entire country that people power can beat a machine. I’m thrilled to have his support!

I look forward to fighting for our shared vision of a more affordable New York—one where we invest in our communities, not in bombs abroad—in Congress.

It seems like @AbdulElSayed 's share of ActBlue donations in this primary almost doubled between January and April, while McMorrow and Stevens have a declining share on the platform

[Citizen Syed @CitizenSyed]

@AbdulElSayed with clear momentum across many repeat pollsters, and now in the lead in this primary per today's Mitchell poll

We only have a few days left to gather signatures for @MichiganMOP to ban corporations like DTE from pouring dark money into elections.

CVH would be a significant improvement. Replacing Schumer with a member of the "rotating villains" would be worse than useless. Is she for Leader Fetterman? Leader Rosen? Leader Cortez Masto? Leader Gillibrand? Leader Hassan? Superficial change is not enough.

We asked @AbdulElSayed about this today.

Anas (R) reported:
The Prophet (S) said, "Allah says: ' When a slave of Mine draws near to Me a span, I draw near to him a cubit; and if he draws near to Me a cubit, I draw near to him a fathom. And if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running."'. https://t.co/C961NeRiog

@srchengn On a call with hundreds of people leaving public comment to public utility commission related to Saline data center, most were opposed, but the few speaking in favor appeared to be from unions that expect data centers to create construction jobs for members

[Dr. Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed]

DTE spends more to buy off politicians than any other corporation in Michigan.

Not me. I'm fighting for working people and I'm not bought by ANY corporation.

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

Donald Trump betrayed his MAGA base today launching a war of choice to bring regime change in Venezuela.

We keep voting against dumb wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, & Libya.

But our Presidents bow to a foreign policy blob committed to militarism. They get us entangled in conflicts abroad, while ignoring the lack of good jobs and high costs for Americans at home.

What will we say now if Xi Jinping wants to capture Lai of Taiwan or Putin tries to capture Zelensky in Ukraine?

The times call for a movement of the American people to stand against bloated defense budgets and warmongering. We need statesmen who will heed the advice of Washington and our founders and invest in jobs, healthcare, childcare & education for our people.
