Reporter: “Donald Trump says that you're full of shit. What do you say to that?”

Abdul El-Sayed: “At least I don't let mine go in the middle of the Oval Office.” 😂

[Saikat Chakrabarti @saikatc]

I really hate it when politicians reject solution X and then say 'are there other solutions we should be looking at other than X?'

If you are running, your job is to provide the solution! If you still need look for solutions, go look. Don't run for office.

right wingers say they don’t believe in respecting a person’s chosen identity and then refer to Enes Kanter as a “former NBA star”

JESSE WATTERS: You gotta respect Abdul. Say what you want about him, this guy is a force that Mike Rogers is gonna have to deal with.

[Richie Floyd @richiejfloyd]

There's a lot I could say about this, but I think I'll just point out that the poll shows him up 83 to 17 ‼️ among under 45s who have voted! If this is even remotely accurate then we're only about 2 cycles away from something incredible in FL

[Brian @Knicksin05]

If this is the end result, then Adam Silver needs to resign. It’s become very clear that he’s unfit for leadership; he’s completely spineless.

The most likely outcome for the NBA’s investigation into Kawhi Leonard and Aspiration, per @michaelgrange

- A negotiated settlement where the NBA gets to enforce some version of its rule
- Steve Ballmer can save face
- Kawhi can play for the Raptors

I’m no @dieworkwear but my tip for having suits that look sharp but don’t break the bank is to wait for sales at Macy’s. Around major holidays you can get suits for 40-50% off. This year I got 2 Michael Kors suits for under $600 combined; both cost more than that separately.

[C.L.U @Supersonic_1221]

@alegria_do @dieworkwear It’s just mildly annoying that his alternatives to ugly, pieced together Kohls suits is always something outrageously expensive and niche. Some guys want to know how to look good for $1k or less all-in for 3-4 pieces.

We are now tracking more than 70 cases nationwide where officers or police agency employees have been investigated, fired, resigned, and/or arrested for misusing Flock camera data, mostly for tracking love interests or exes. The list grows every day.

I’ll never forget this moment.

[Igor Bobic @igorbobic]

Bernie Sanders says El-Sayed “pulled off the biggest upset that I have ever heard of in my life.”

“This guy had to take on the Michigan Democratic establishment, the national Dem establishment, and he had to take on over $60 million dollars in Super PAC funding. I've never heard of a candidate winning against that kind of expenditure.“

DL Hughley on Zohran Mamdani: “This Muslim is putting Christians to shame. There is more to say for a man that lifts the poor, that feeds the hungry, that walks among the people, than powerful white men who consort with a pedophile. Who’s the more Christlike?”

@GarySlutkin1 @CureViolence there couldn’t be a more on-the-nose headline to show everything you discussed in The End of Violence. Everyone should buy that book btw.

[Haaretz.com @haaretzcom]

Opinion • It's no wonder Israelis want war. Violence has become a source of joy https://t.co/gOyb134OHq

[Brian @Knicksin05]

It is, for sure, but I also think it’s important that we set societal norms around how AI use for creative work is viewed. Dr. Slutkin’s book on treating violence like an epidemic, The End of Violence, has strongly influenced my views on the importance of social norms.

[gianmarco @GianmarcoSoresi]

Maybe I’m nuts but blaming individual creators for the growing number of data centers feels like blaming global warming on people who use plastic straws

[Brian @Knicksin05]

Many people in the “center” strangely cannot conceptualize a person on the left who fits those 3 criteria, either. You should ask the consultants working for your favorite “moderate” candidate what their win/loss record is. I promise they’ll say “I don’t remember.” I know mine 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Thag Simmons @d_h_sanders]

Many people on the left strangely cannot conceptualize a person who 1) is a Democrat, 2) wants to beat Republicans, and 3) becomes concerned when the Democrats nominate someone they believe will lose to a Republican.

[Haley Stevens @HaleyforMI]

Abdul, we were both on the ballot in 2018. I was capable of winning my competitive primary and general election. You lost.

You lost by over twenty points to Gretchen Whitmer and you will lose to Mike Rogers by talking like this.

Everyone in America understands you want to blame all of your problems on Jewish Americans.

But buddy, let me be very clear, I will lower the costs of groceries, ban stock trading for elected officials, stop Trump's abuses of power, and protect Michigan manufacturing.

And you’ll just be a celebrity whining and writing books to get even richer. You’re part of the complainer class, looking for their next book or podcast deal.

Bro, I just want to work for Michigan.
