This Haley Stevens thing reminds me that gas in Michigan is $4.57 and diesel is $6.68 because the President started a war with Iran that Mike Rogers has been wanting for his entire professional life.

You should do your homework before making a fool of yourself. My father was a staunch Democrat his entire life breaking away only twice: he voted for Nixon because of his stand on China ("I don't think we can sweep the millions of Chinese under a rug" and for Reagan because he was a loyal friend.

The thing that John Fetterman, Haley Stevens, and Brianna Wu have in common is that they all believe that they are more entitled to speak on behalf of Jews than actual Jews are

Remember Chuds, voting is for sissies and losers — real men are staying home this week to wage culture war by Anakin-posting and watching Malfoid slop.

As Haley's friend, I can't be silent.
Yesterday morning, afternoon, and evening, I spoke with @HaleyforMI several times.
At 8:58 this morning, she told me she intended to remain silent.
I don't know what changed in the two hours that followed. I want to believe she was being truthful with me.
I've known her fiancé, Jason Turkish, for years. I respect him as a brilliant lawyer and advocate for disabled Americans.
But I have become deeply troubled by his behavior.
I've heard serious concerns about his treatment of Haley's staff, friends, and allies. My own experiences have only deepened those concerns.
It is painful to watch someone you care about go through something like this. It is even more painful to worry about the influence of those closest to her.
I don't know what happened this morning, and I won't pretend that I do.
Haley is my friend. I am deeply concerned for her well-being. She deserves dignity, independence, and the freedom to make her own decisions.
But at the end of the day, this is bigger than any one person or political controversy.
We cannot lose sight of the people affected by these decisions and this conduct: her constituents, her staff, her friends, and the people who have placed their trust in her.
They deserve respect, accountability, and answers, too.

Average swing state Democrat: "ohhh god I’m so nervous, are we gonna win by 6 points or 10???"

It’s frankly delusional to argue Haley Stevens is making a principled stand against Abdul El-Sayed.
She was on TV just days ago urging everyone to vote for him. She’s done that for months. Stevens is mad his campaign spurned her—that’s it. There’s no honor in that.
I spoke with Haley Stevens yesterday.
Feeling a bit absurd in pointing out the obvious and being far kinder than I should have been, I reminded her that the outcome of this senate race will be viewed in the light of a future Supreme Court vacancy, and I expressed a hope that all of us understand the stakes.
She assured me she's supporting Dr. El-Sayed, sent me a video of a recent speech she gave blasting Mike Rogers and said this: "Still stands. I promise."
She also said she's been sending this video to other folks to make it clear where she stands on this race.
Again: that was yesterday.
I have known Haley Stevens for years. I have counted her as a friend and an ally. We've had many thoughtful conversations about this country, and she has never failed to remind me that her mother is a fan of my writing.
Whatever other political differences we have, she has always made it clear to me she would stand with LGBTQ people. It was a red line she refused to cross.
Instead, she has made the inexplicable decision to endorse a man who views LGBTQ Americans as second-class citizens unworthy of full equality.
I can't help but wonder what her mother must be thinking right now.
I have no idea what has happened to the person I thought I knew, but clearly, she has completely taken leave of her senses in endorsing a Republican who is little more than a Trump sycophant -- less than 24 hours after promising me that she has not wavered from the bigger picture.
I am disgusted with her cynicism and cowardice in this moment. God forgive me for trusting her.
If you're a Michigan voter and as disgusted as I am, get to your polling place and vote for Dr. El-Sayed.

Haley Stevens and I came into Congress together in the Blue Wave of 2018, and sadly, we fought a bruising primary in 2022 after redistricting. 1/5
Lib Max retweeted
Lots of fancy Texas early vote analyses out there, but here's a simple fact: in the 23 counties that voted for any statewide federal Dem this decade, early votes cast are at 91% of '24 levels.
In the other 231 all-GOP counties, early votes cast are at just 79% of '24 levels.

The story here is that at a dinner Stevens and her fiancé had with the former Dem Gov of Michigan two nights ago, her fiancé was, according to the former governor, kind of bullying her about having endorsed AES. To the point that the former governor stepped in to defend her. If this was happening at a dinner with an acquaintance, at best, you can imagine what must have been going on behind the scenes.

It’s impossible to construct any standard of behavior toward religious minorities that El-Sayed fails but Rogers passes. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1…

What’s truly insane is that last night Haley Stevens credited Abdul El-Sayed for criticizing the Rebellion PAC ad

I didn’t think it was possible to combine primary-loser-sour-grapes & Islamophobia into a more toxic cocktail than Andrew Cuomo. But Haley Stevens has managed to do it.
If she wants to betray civil rights, reproductive freedom, immigrant protections, and working families by endorsing Mike Rogers and trying to give control of the Senate to J.D. Vance and Donald Trump, I guess that's her business — but it’s appalling, oddly patronizing, and simply false to claim that it’s in the interest of Michigan’s Jewish communities.
Our safety comes from welcoming the stranger, fighting for universal human rights, and building pluralist democracy — not from endorsing neo-Nazi adjacent MAGA fanatics.
Fortunately, there’s a powerful response of solidarity and shared safety, that every Jewish & non-Jewish Michigander can do on Tuesday:
Vote for @AbdulElSayed

President Obama is all in to elect Abdul El-Sayed to the U.S. Senate.
"This country belongs to all of us. Not just the wealthy or well-connected—everyone. That idea is under attack, and Michigan is where we fight back.
That's why I'm asking YOU to support Abdul El-Sayed for U.S. Senate."

NEW GOTV MOTTO JUST DROPPED
Mallory McMorrow, quoted by The Washington Post
“Michigan could very well be the state that flips control of the Senate. …That’s what’s on the line. Nothing less. And Michiganders know it.”
“Cut the shit. Lock in. Knock doors. Get out the vote. That’s it.”

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.
