@JessicaHonandez@enhancedechotop@honestlygfy@Popstonox Quite literally anything can have fraud committed to it, doesn’t mean those programs are bad programs. It’s impossible to erase every form of fraud. Social programs do more good than harm to be this much of an issue
@JessicaHonandez@enhancedechotop@honestlygfy@Popstonox And billions go to other countries, like Israel who with our taxpayer money are committing a genocide. There are people in jail who committed tax fraud, doesn’t mean we should stop doing taxes all together. —
El-Sayed: Now Mike, I'm just going to remind you: if you don't know how to say the name, keep the name out your damn mouth. Or just call me Abdul. But I got some opinions about his name. See, it's very fitting for him: Rogers.
Cause 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 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!

Stevens met with community leader Jai Singletary, who told her he already voted for Abdul El-Sayed.
Singletary showed photos of the youth soccer team he coaches before telling Stevens lawmakers shouldn’t be supporting Israel’s military that has killed children in Palestine.
James Talarico: “You may not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you. Your boss at work, he cares about politics. Your landlord, he cares about politics. Your insurance company cares about politics. Until you care about politics, they’re gonna keep using the political system to screw you over”
Abdul El-Sayed: “When I pay my taxes I’m not thinking man I can’t wait for Israel to have a tank and a bomb. I’m thinking man I hope they finally fix that school. Maybe we should end the practice of unconditional foreign military aid to Israel. We should end it for Israel, and Egypt where my family came from, and Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, and the UAE, and Jordan, and Pakistan. Because I want my money here. I want healthcare here. I want good schools here”
Sanders: In all due respect to Congresswoman Stevens, everyone knows that this is not an election between her and Abdul El-Sayed. This is an election between Abdul and the billionaire class. That is what this election is about.
A billionaire class which has already—and there are two weeks left to go in the election—already spent $50 million against him.
Now, I want everybody here throughout the state, people turning on their TVs and seeing all these ads, I want you to ask yourself a simple question: Why are the richest people in the country spending tens and tens of millions of dollars to defeat Abdul El-Sayed?
Why does the billionaire class feel that they need to outspend him in this election 12 to 1? Twelve to one. What are they afraid of?
And the answer is obvious: They understand quite correctly that when Abdul is elected to the Senate, he will work with me and other progressives in taking on the greed of the billionaire class.
That’s what the billionaires are afraid of and they should be afraid.
Now influencers are being paid to say she is growing on them.
