Thanks to the 18,530 people who attended our telephone town hall today with Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan. We are united in ending a do-nothing rubber-stamp Republican Senate. Together, we will elect Abdul. One day left. Get out and vote.

Rep. Haley Stevens’ staff is right to resign in disgust. They understand that the election in Michigan is far more important than Haley’s fragile ego and that all of us must stand together to elect Abdul, defeat Rogers and end the Republican rubber-stamp control of the Senate.
New: Statement from Haley Stevens’ chief of staff Justin German confirms many of her team have resigned & they back Abdul El-Sayed for #MISen “We are shocked and heartbroken by Congresswoman Stevens’ decision to support Mike Rogers.”

Michigan Republicans, funded by Musk and other billionaires, have no answers to the struggles facing working families. Instead they are resorting to Islamophobia and are running the most racist campaign in recent history. Together, let's defeat bigotry and elect Abdul El-Sayed.

Republican mega donors have spent over $1.6 BILLION trying to buy the 2026 elections. Elon Musk and other billionaires want to make sure that Trump and his Republican Congress works for them — not working families. In three days, we can beat them. Organize. Organize. Organize.

Donald Trump does not believe in the Constitution. He does not believe in the rule of law. He is a corrupt narcissist and a pathological liar. Let's win this election on Tuesday and finally hold him accountable.

Let’s not beat around the bush: A vote for Susan Collins in Maine is a vote to let Trump continue his disastrous policies. If we are serious about holding Trump accountable, we must end Republican control over the Senate. It’s time for a change. VOTE FOR TROY JACKSON

Trump, Musk and their billionaire friends are spending huge amounts lying about Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan and Angie Nixon in Florida. Why? Because they have no agenda to help working people. So they resort to Islamophobia, red-baiting and fear-mongering. NOT GONNA WORK

RACISM AND FEAR-MONGERING As we enter the last days of this campaign, it is becoming increasingly clear that Trump and his Republican allies have virtually nothing to say about the enormous crises facing our country. Think about it: Unprecedented income and wealth inequality. Nothing to say. 60% of our people living paycheck to paycheck. Nothing to say. The highest rate of child poverty of any major country. Nothing to say. A broken, dysfunctional and wildly expensive healthcare system. Nothing to say. A corrupt campaign finance system in which billionaires buy elections. Nothing to say. The existential threat of climate change. Nothing to say. An uncontrolled AI run by the wealthiest people on earth. Nothing to say. So, if you are unable to address the issues that impact tens of millions of American families, what do you do? What kind of campaign do you run? You do what demagogues over the ages have always done. You resort to fear-mongering, racism and dividing people up. That is exactly what Trump, Vance and Republican candidates are doing. I did a rally in Michigan last week with Abdul. In the 20 minutes I was watching television in Grand Rapids there were 5 disgusting and racist ads against him. Five ads in 20 minutes! According to the ads, Abdul was unfit to serve in the U.S. Senate because he is a Muslim, a “terrorist,” a “jihadist” and God knows what else. In Florida, the Republican campaign against Angie Nixon and her supporters is that Angie is a “communist” who hates our country and does not believe in freedom. Lies, lies and more lies. There are four days left in this campaign — the most important midterm election in modern history. We have to defeat the most dangerous president in American history. We have got to defeat the lies, fear-mongering and racism of the Republican Party. Let’s do it.

If Democrats regain control of Congress, we need an agenda that works for working people: Medicare for All $20 an hour minimum wage Overturn Citizens United and end billionaire-funded super PACs End Trump's war in Iran End military aid to the Israeli government

Sergey Brin, Google’s co-founder worth $231 billion, is spending $102 million against a 5% billionaire wealth tax in California known as Prop 40. This is how much Mr. Brin has paid in income taxes: 2019: $0 2020: $0 2023: $0 California: Say NO to greed and oligarchy. Vote for Prop 40.

Minnesotans inspired the world when they stood up to Trump’s domestic army ICE. Now, they can do it again by sending Peggy Flanagan to the Senate. Peggy comes from the working class and will fight for the working class. Let’s send her to the Senate.

Angie Nixon is on fire. She pulled off a huge upset in her Florida primary, and she’s going to do it again on Tuesday. Let’s take on Musk and the billionaires. Let’s get out the vote and elect Angie Nixon to the U.S. Senate!

Mr. President, instead of spewing racist hatred against Abdul, explain to the American people why you: - Gave the top 1% $1 trillion in tax cuts - Threw 15 million Americans off the healthcare they had - Unleashed brutal ICE raids - Dragged us into an illegal war with Iran

Mr. Rogers: We don’t need another senator who will “protect” & “shield” the richest man alive. Musk’s doing just fine. We need a senator who will protect 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, not the world’s first trillionaire. Stop Oligarchy. Vote for Abdul El-Sayed.
🚨 LEAKED: In a fundraising appeal, Mike Rogers told potential donors, "When you stand with my Senate campaign today, you are directly shielding Elon Musk" from potential investigations into the harm caused by DOGE cuts. Rogers asked for donations so he could "protect Elon."

Trump promised to “Drain the Swamp.” Then he made $2 billion off the presidency. He promised to “Make America Healthy Again.” Then he took healthcare from 15 million people. He promised “No More Wars.” Then he attacked Iran. Say NO to Trump. Say NO to a Republican Congress.

Trump is the most dangerous president in our history. He's an authoritarian who does not believe in the rule of law. This election is not about Ds vs. Rs. It's about whether we maintain a rubber-stamp GOP Congress that aids and abets Trump — or finally hold him accountable.

Why are Elon Musk and other billionaires flooding the airwaves with Islamophobic ads against Abdul? Because they have nothing to say about the issues that matter to working people: healthcare, climate, AI and foreign policy. WE WILL NOT LET THEM DIVIDE US

AIPAC is spending $9 million in Michigan to elect Mike Rogers. Meanwhile, according to a Washington Post poll, a majority of voters there — including 61% of independents — want to end or reduce military aid to Israel. LET'S ELECT ABDUL AND END ALL MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL
