Massive stakes tomorrow in Michigan.
If El-Sayed is nominated and loses this fall, the center-left will claim validation. But if El-Sayed wins the seat, it’ll fuel the segment of the party that dares to dream big about sending an unabashed progressive to the White House in 2028.
New from me: 8 years ago, Haley Stevens and Abdul El-Sayed ran for office.
She won her House race on a moderate platform, he lost his gov primary on a progressive message.
Tomorrow they face off in Michigan’s Senate race—in a very different landscape.

Many women with high-risk pregnancies can’t get abortions in their home states. Illinois welcomes them.
More people travel to Illinois than to any other state for an abortion. A program helps the small percentage who need care in a hospital.

Darcy: "As any good reporter knows, memos complaining about leaks almost always end up leaking themselves—as this one naturally has to us."
“If you hear something and it matters to you, come ask me and I'll tell you what I know," Nick Bilton told 60 Minutes staff. “Otherwise I'd like this place to be talked about for what we put on television."

Rosie O’Donnell on Trump: “I told the truth that every New Yorker my age knows about him: he’s not a self-made man, he got his father’s money, he’s a grifter, he’s a logo-slapper, he’s not in fact a builder, his Apprentice days were all fiction sold as fact and people believed them. This guy’s a joke, he’s a used car salesman, he’s a snake oil salesman”

Ben Affleck shares how he overcame his alcohol addiction. Says it is not “overpriced rehabs”.
“I hate to say it but the cure for addiction and the only cure I’ve seen is not these overpriced rehabs or these fraudulent fixes that are sold to people”
“The cure for addiction is suffering”
“You suffer enough and then something inside you goes ‘I’m done’”

Jack Nicholson has often described The Passenger (1975) as one of his favorite films of his career. Reflecting that admiration, when a separate project with MGM fell through, he acquired the rights to the film as compensation. Although he kept it out of circulation for many years, Nicholson entered into negotiations with Sony Pictures Classics in 2003, ultimately leading to a newly remastered theatrical re-release in 2005.

Creative reuse centers are keeping art supplies out of landfills by selling used materials for cheap. They sell donated supplies at a discount, and crafters can collect a few ribbons and fabric scraps instead of the whole nine yards. Donating used supplies also can help neighbors get creative and make something beautiful.

Social Security not an "entitlement." It is funded with money that I, like most workers, have invested out of our paychecks. We were promised the money would be there when we needed it. Congress has borrowed it. Republicans just don't want to pay it back. That's stealing.
Rachel @maddow generously giving nearly 3/4s of her program time for #Democratic #Texas senate candidate @jamestalarico to eloquently state his case is as near an endorsement he could possibly want.

Just want to remind you all that if a Democratic president had referred to red states as "dirty" and "filthy" and smelly and gross, it would have led the entire media, not just Fox, for days on end, and screaming Republicans would have demanded a public apology.
Trump on Blue Cities: But what else do they have in common? They’re all dirty. They’re filthy dirty. The streets are dirty. The streets smell. The storefronts are broken. The trees are all gross. Everything about the place is dirty. And I don’t want to mention any specific city. It’s really all of them. You go into these cities that are blue… they’re filthy and disgusting.
