So @benshapiro put out a video asking me to explain why his new movie is Islamophobic, challenged me to name more than 5 movies with Muslim villains, & called me a "terror-hugger" & "spokesperson for Qatar."

Here's my response to Shapiro's gaslighting, with lots of receipts:

At Last, a Real Fighter to Punch Back at Trump

On his first weekend as the Democratic Senate nominee in Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed came out swinging.

Read today's 'First Draft' by Martin Pengelly, link in replies.

Just one idiot promoting another idiot

Yesterday, I gathered with residents at the Allama Iqbal Community Center’s Mela to commemorate Pakistan’s Independence Day and honor the contributions Pakistani New Yorkers have made to our city.

Today and everyday, we celebrate this community whose open arms, determination, and dreams for a better life have helped shape the city they call home.

Trump cheated on his third wife with a porn star while she was at home nursing their newborn.

El-Sayed married his college sweetheart at 22.

I choose El-Sayed’s America.

"Punch, counter-punch. It’s not Demosthenes, but it’s the stuff of politics today, and now a high-profile Democrat speaks it. In fact, the Democratic rank-and-file have been waiting a decade for a high-profile Democrat to speak in this blunt way, to take the fight to Trump and his fellow MAGA bullies."

From today's First Draft on the political utility of Abdul El-Sayed's dunks on Trump:

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon.

Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

It leaves our workers unprotected and our streets less safe. It's time for a change.

I'm proud to support the Delivery Protection Act to crack down on exploitative subcontracting and build an economy that works for everyone.

[Dr. Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed]

I know it’s complicated for you, habibi. I’m happy to teach you how this works at our next debate…if you’re not too much a coward to debate me.

[Mia Farrow @FarrowMia40582]

Abdul el Sayed is a Rhodes Scholar, received his MD from Columbia Univ, was professor of epidemiology & gave commencement address. Was executive director of Detroit Health Dept. His publications in public health include 3 books and several hundred academic journal articles

@ChrisBarberi @mehdirhasan Michigan feels differently. Take your finger and stick it where the sun doesn’t shine.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

He’s not a ‘counterterrorism expert’ - he’s with the Center for Security Policy, which is a far-right group of cranks, once designated a hate group by the SPLC, and which even accused Huma Abedin of being a Muslim Brotherhood spy and got condemned by John McCain and Marco Rubio.

Since we’re talking about El-Sayed’s dad, is it true Senator Cruz that your dad helped kill JFK? That’s what Donald Trump once suggested, right? Is he correct?

[Judd Legum @JuddLegum]

1. Last week, we revealed that the @nypost published a fake cover story claiming "thousands" of 9/11 families were trying to ban Mamdani from the 25th anniversary ceremony at Ground Zero.

Instead of admitting its error, the Post quietly edited the article, adding even less credible info.

[MuniraB @justbmunira]

@RobSchneider lol, I was hoping this was satire but no, bigalow the gigolo is lying through his teeth, most likely to remind people that he’s still alive. How sad.

[Dr. Omar Suleiman @omarsuleiman]

To the self-proclaimed moderates, liberal Zionists, and centrists:

You forfeited any moral authority the moment you chose to tone police people outraged by a genocide instead of firmly opposing the genocide itself.

And now, as Zionist settlers carry out pogroms against Palestinians in the West Bank, you’re repeating the same script of trying to police the outrage and protect the status quo.

We’re done pretending that’s a serious moral position. And we’re done toning down our outrage to accommodate your hypocrisy.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

He called Netanyahu a war criminal. If that now counts as incitement of violence against Jews, 1) you’re conflating all Jews with Netanyahu/Israel, which is antisemitic, & 2) does this apply to other faiths? Is calling Khamenei a dictator incitement of violence against Muslims?

[Masu Zafi 🔥🔥 @masuzafi]

Zohran Mamdani just did what most Democrats are too gutless to do.
He looked straight into the camera and said the quiet part out loud:
Republicans called Obama a socialist every single day for 8 years. It didn’t stop him.
Now they’re trying the same tired red-baiting on anyone who wants a New Deal instead of the raw deal working people have been force-fed for decades.
People are hungry for something real. Not more corporate welfare dressed up as “moderation.” Not more “public-private partnerships” that somehow always privatize the profits and socialize the losses.
Mamdani is right. The socialist smear is a dead tactic.

The only question left is whether the Democratic Party has the spine to actually deliver for the people who keep electing them… or if they’ll keep protecting the same donors who’ve been extracting wealth from this country for 40 years.

Keep going, Mayor.
The old guard is terrified for a reason.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

@yejaazy Yes, times change. Experiences change. Perspectives change. Keep up!

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal.

[Warren @swd2]

They shot him, dragged his lifeless body onto the pavement, and handcuffed his corpse while his 3-year old daughter wearing Bluey pajamas watched in horror. If you say you voted for this you are an empty soulless vessel.

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

What happened to me in the West Bank was an outrage. But it is nothing compared to what Palestinians face every day.

It is time to share their stories that American politics have silenced and ignored. This is our first video about Palestinians we met.
