On private call with supporters, Michigan’s Republican US Senate candidate said: “If [Abdul El Sayed] wins, I think we’re in good shape... I think we’ll do well if he in fact is the nominee.” https://t.co/RbTvwLedVH
@Suzierizzo1@MartinforFL is running against Mast and is a vet, nat sec expert, and 4th generation Floridian. He’s the strongest challenger Mast has had in the decade since he’s held the seat.

This shit is toxic to actual swing voters.
I believe there needs to be a immersion program for activists who live, work, and/or went to college in hyper blue safe spaces to spend time in competitive and lean-GOP communities where most people didn't go to college. Like backpacking across Europe, but for American politics.
Maybe all of us who had very real concerns about his comments, his Nazi tattoo, and his history with women, weren't just "establishment" lackies "afraid of Graham Platner" and "his moral clarity," but actually just wanted a candidate who could win a f'n US Senate seat...
Weiser: I am a first-generation American. My mom was born in a Nazi concentration camp on April 13th, 1945. My grandmother is an amazing woman. She was a hopeful person, and she believed in the United States of America as a country that did treat everybody fairly, that gave everybody freedom and an opportunity to succeed.
And my family—the difference between my mom being born in that concentration camp and me—is that I went to law school, I worked for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court, I worked as an advisor to President Barack Obama in the White House. I’m Colorado’s Attorney General. I will be Colorado’s next governor. That’s one generation. That’s what America’s about.
It doesn’t matter who your parents are. It doesn’t matter if you know secret handshakes. It matters: are you willing to work hard? Are you willing to believe in the values of this country?
That’s the America I know and love. That’s the America I’m fighting for
What about us who are 1-0 in the last 3?
And yes, I have very real concerns about electability. And messing up Michigan is a sure fire way to have no shot at a majority in the Senate. And Khanna is in a seat that Harris won by 38, so pls don’t lecture us on electability.
Mayor Mamdani's three endorsed progressives campaigned on a promise to fight for the working class and won big.
They swept most precincts — except many of the most disadvantaged working-class neighborhoods.
People have lost their damn minds. And good on @RepDanGoldman for being the bigger person.
We will not make it as a country if we treat each other like this —>
Old photos like this from undeveloped Florida and California are some of the most disorienting and magical ones to me. I look at them and I really feel time, feel how different the one I inhabit is and how different that other world was.
Empty.
