While Mike Rogers was sitting in that church, I hope the congregation prayed for accountability for the harm that he and Donald Trump have inflicted on communities in Michigan and across this country. Their records deserve condemnation , not a Sunday photo op.
Michigan vote for @AbdulElSayed

Michigan, let’s win this together.

I know @HaleyforMI way better than most people on X. She and I came into Congress together in 2018. She was co-Prez of our freshman class. She was incredibly kind to me when my late partner died; she organized a big group of our class to come to the House floor to support me when I spoke about his suicide. We were roommates in 2023, after my wonderful first roomie lost her election; both my adult kids know Haley well and are on a texting basis with her. We’ve socialized and we have good friends in common. While she and I differ on one impt issue, specifically Israel and AIPAC support, I’ve never publicly challenged her on those things, because I felt that her good points outweighed the issues I disagreed with her on. Today, that changes. 👇
Haley’s endorsement of Rogers in the MI senate race is appalling. Not because he’s a Republican, but because what he stands for is what she, and I, and our caucus has fought so hard against. Rogers is a 100% anti-choice politician. He is a Trump loyalist. He’s shown his Islamophobia in his many remarks against @AbdulElSayed, and with this endorsement, Haley has shown that she agrees with his positions. I’m shocked by Haley’s endorsement. I’m terribly sad and disappointed. I’m furious and will be more so if we lose the MI senate race. So many people in the Democratic Party have shown so much support to Haley over the years, and she has betrayed them all. If this is because of her new relationship (about which many of us were so happy for her after she lost the primary), all I can say is that any woman who abandons her friends when a new guy comes along is no friend at all. The fallout for Haley won’t just be in Dem politics; she will be a pariah among her friends in the Democratic caucus in Congress. Only she will be able to decide whether it was worth it.

Okay y’all. Get your Haley Stevens rage out now. You get today. Tomorrow we don’t talk about her. Reporters ask questions, pivot to Republicans and the importance of voting.
Don’t give her the attention she wants.

Make no mistake: There is only one choice in the Michigan U.S. Senate race, and it’s Abdul El-Sayed.
ALT A black graphic with white text reading, "Statement from DNC Chair Ken Martin: Haley Stevens’ disappointing decision to endorse Mike Rogers, a Trump ally who would join Republican efforts to sell out working families, is a betrayal of the values of the Democratic Party. At a moment when Democrats are united in fighting for Michigan families and standing up to Trump’s agenda, we reject these efforts to sow division within our party. We will not allow last-minute political stunts to derail our momentum and we will triple down on our efforts to elect Abdul El-Sayed on Tuesday."

Re: West Palm airplane crash. There’s audio floating around of the pilot speaking with ATC. I made the mistake of listening to it. You really shouldn’t.

Haley Stevens has chosen to dangerously betray Michigan families’ healthcare, freedoms and future with her horrific endorsement of Mike Rogers.
@AbdulElSayed must win — because Michigan and our country deserve better. -NP

Let’s be clear about one thing.
Dr. Abdul El-Sayed will always put the American people first and fight hard to lower the high cost of living.
His election is critical to flipping control of the United States Senate.
Mike Rogers is a partisan hack who represents more of the same MAGA extremism.
Vote @AbdulElSayed in Michigan!
Betsy Alexander retweeted
I've abused this in the past but not anymore.
Follow Brazil's lead and do not engage with MAGA posts. 🚫
Engage with those supporting democracy instead.
✅Like, comment, repost etc.
When you engage with MAGA 🤡 posts you're boosting them in the algorithm. Don't!

Hey in case anyone's waffling here. Keep Mike Rogers far, far away from the US Senate.

You all can play dumb if you want to. They know that as long as they sell the narrative that Black and brown people are the ones committing fraud, that will make it easier to convince low-income white people — who are the largest recipients of these services — to vote against their own interests. It also generally encourages people to see these services only as tools of abuse and fraud.
The meme wouldn’t be as effective if they used Brett Favre’s photo, would it?

Michael Jackson filmed Thriller with zombies. We made our own version — featuring our Ukrainian pilots! 😎🇺🇦
Who's scarier to the enemy? That's a rhetorical question. 💀
Happy Halloween! 👻

Two framing failures here:
Republicans deliberately let Obamacare subsidies lapse knowing this outcome would happen, but that reality makes the GOP look very bad so it’s omitted from the headline. The increases are just happening, without context of the deliberate policy drivers.
The increases will be felt hardest among middle class Americans, but the impact is framed first in political terms as a “blow to Obamacare,” emphasizing politics over policy impact to the American people.
The substance of the reporting by @ReedAbelson @sangerkatz is fair and clear, but editorial chose a headline that could very easily mislead the reader into thinking the program is just unworkable when deliberate Republican policy is weakening it.
It’s not just the @nytimes this is very common everywhere
"Republicans fuck up people's healthcare" is the reality, but the @nytimes wants you to think it's a failure of "Obamacare"
