This week, after nearly six years, two elections, and across three terms, I had my last meeting as a @cityofhazelpark City Councilmember. It’s been an incredible honor. Thank you to my spectacular colleagues, dedicated staff, and the best city manager in Michigan. Onwards.

honestly not sure if I’ve ever seen a debate so lopsided. Abdul wiped the floor with Rogers so badly he had him running into his mic bc he couldn’t stand up straight.

yikes this pic… gonna be an uncomfortable drive back to florida
Post-debate spinroom during Q&A. Mike Rogers when asked to compare his run vs Elissa Slotkin in 2024 vs now vs Andul El-Sayed, calls El-Sayed "a lightweight" on policy and "rote candidate"

ā€œon substanceā€
Replying to @llondo
I get that you’re anti-GOP now, but Rogers won that debate on every topic, on substance, and on trustworthiness. Abdul lost across the board and will lose again in November.

this is one of the most embarrassing things I’ve ever seen. thinking you have a Perry Mason moment when actually it’s Lloyd Christmas.
A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. Watch the whole thing:

I think the most telling aspect of this entire campaign is that @MikeRogersForMI’s strategy has centered on rank character assassination of @AbdulElSayed because he has a terrible record and nothing to offer from his inextricable link to the failed policies of the president.
Fact check: false. To this day, Abdul is still misrepresenting himself as a physician to voters. He isn’t. He has no license, no ability to treat patients, and cannot write a prescription. Total fraud.

Gas is twice as expensive, inflation is robbing us of our buying power, Rogers wants the poor to be bankrupted by medical costs, he supports tariffs on our biggest trading partners, and he is hoping that appealing to racism will compel you to vote against your self-interests.

in the last day, @MikeRogersForMI has tweeted about policy once (while lying about it), and reminded us that @AbdulElSayed is Muslim four times (plus other racist tweets). Rogers has spent decades in politics and government can’t point to a single thing he’s accomplished.

.@JohnJamesMI also voted for the continued use of lead pipes in Michigan, so at least he’s consistent on the issue of lead in our water supply.
First it’s your fishing tackle. Then what? Michigan sportsmen deserve a government that respects our outdoor heritage. I’ll always stand with those who hunt, fish, and enjoy the GREAT OUTDOORS.šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øšŸŽ£ Join our Sportsmen Coalition TODAY: johnjamesmi.com/signup/

if you support the poisoning of children by not replacing infrastructure that causes lower IQs, reduced attention span, behavioral and learning problems, damage to the nervous system, poor concentration, slowed growth, hearing impairment, and more, @JohnJamesMI is your guy.

this is the modern day republican party
Republican Convention crowd calls for assassinating Democratic candidates as Ted Cruz riles them up with lies: ā€œHE SHOULD BE SHOT!ā€

How dare you, Congressman. My husband enlisted in the Army and put his life on the line for our country after losing his friend, Todd Ouida, in the towers on 9/11. This is a despicable lie to the people of Michigan about what that day means to me and my family, the sacrifices made, and the devastating impact of that attack on our country. I have never, and would never, campaign with anyone who says something so reprehensible. If you have any decency, you will immediately take down this false ad. The veterans and families who lost loved ones on 9/11 deserve better than your lies and self-serving political opportunism. Shame on you.
Jocelyn Benson stands with a radical left that says America deserved 9/11. I stand with you, and I say NEVER FORGET. šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø

we’ve officially reached the awful LinkedIn takes of Michigan v Western as a crisis comms exercise takes of this news cycle. spare me the faux outrage. the stadium/TV clocks weren’t synced to what was shown on review. who cares! go outside! touch grass! hug your kids! log off!

genuinely reminds me of the discourse around ā€œelection integrityā€ and people being unaware or not having understanding of specific procedures/guidelines. just because you don’t know how it works doesn’t mean it’s wrong!

the one person I’d read a comms take from about this whole situation is @AndreaBitely, who Actually Did A Press Conference For It and (even though she was entitled to) *didn’t* do some horrendous, ChaptGPT-written LI post about it. good grief.

this guidance is contrary to years of how the rnc has historically operated. inshallah orange mussolini makes this campaign a referendum on his presidency and that maga inc. spends its dollars highlighting his policy (failures) instead of lifting up individual members
60 days out, the RNC is issuing this warning — ā€œIf members are choosing to keep an arm’s length from the president, they risk alienating their base [and] they risk 15 to 20 percent of their key Republican voters not turning out because they don’t feel like they’re a good supporter of the president’s policies,ā€ RNC’s Natalie Baldassarre said. politi.co/4gNmArX via @politico
