Me on my way to bed, looking at the incoming #Midterms2026 results and feeling pure joy and satisfaction:

Gonna say it again. This guy is GOOD.
Martha MacCallum CHALLENGES Abdul El-Sayed on Government Healthcare — His Response Turns the Spotlight on Political Donations
Martha MacCallum: In the UK, more than half the people who died in England in 2023 were on the NHS waiting list and couldn’t get care. Why would that be a better system for us?
Abdul El-Sayed: Number one, I’m not advocating for the same system as the NHS. We’re the richest, most powerful country in the world. The idea that we can’t do it better is ridiculous.
Do you know the average wait time to see a cardiologist in America?
Martha MacCallum: Tell me.
Abdul El-Sayed: Two and a half months. We pay 19 cents on the dollar for every dollar spent in our entire economy on healthcare. The average deductible is $4,500 just to get healthcare you’ve already paid for. The idea that we can’t do better is kind of insane.
Martha MacCallum: I think the question is about how to get there.
Abdul El-Sayed: We need to get corporations out of politics. The guy I’m running against, Mike Rogers, voted 19 times to keep prescription drug prices high. He took a million dollars alone from pharma and called himself a champion for the industry.
Martha MacCallum: Do you think corporations should be able to buy politicians in this country?
Abdul El-Sayed: Well, it’s a good question. I know you were fundraising in California last weekend, and you’re here in New York fundraising again.

MUST-WATCH: "Until they drive prices UP... Americans aren't complaining right now that prices are too LOW."
@AbdulElSayed masterfully schools Bari Weiss' CBS News(max) 60 minutes host @Douthat60 on the problem with living in corporatism, not capitalism -where monopolies and oligopolies reign supreme - and the importance of backing politicians who support the ability of labor UNIONS to push back so workers can earn more and live better lives... rather than politicians who are owned by corporations. (ahem, Mike Rogers)

This is simply outstanding. Heart-wrenching, and powerful as a kick in the gut.
Medgar Evers was killed in his driveway because he refused to accept a Mississippi where some were denied the right to vote.
He stood with thousands who marched, organized and sacrificed so future generations could have a voice. We owe it to them not to take that right for granted. On Tuesday, honor their legacy. Vote.

This is easily THE most DEVASTATING clapback I have ever heard, by any candidate, from either party. trump said he wants metal detectors for El-Sayed.
El-Sayed says sure, but lie detectors for YOU.
First question: EPSTEIN.
He is SO good at this.🔥

Alex Gibney rips Elon Musk apart when Piers Morgan suggests that Elon is a genius.
Piers Morgan: “Elon Musk has done extraordinary things for the world. He’s a genius. Would you agree with that?”
Alex Gibney: “What you have is an overinflated sense of how much he’s leading to the improvement of global civilization. His genius is stock pumping. He’s not a genius inventor, he never invented anything.”
Btw Elon would like you to think that he invented Tesla. He didn’t. He is not an inventor in any real sense. He is an investor.
There’s no doubt that his companies have done extraordinary work. But I’ll give credit to the engineers not Musk himself.

🔥 “Answer the question, Tommy — I think you’re the one who needs to read the constitution, not me.”
@AbdulElSayed skillfully handles a bigoted Islamophobic heckler and exposes him as the true religious zealot in the room.

We are to keep mocking this man. Make him the poster-board child of incompetence on the right.
So great hanging with @ronmarz at the @baltimorecomics con and we forgot to talk politics! 🤣 – at Arlington, VA

This. Is. Fucking. Epic.
No words.
Kimmel is back.
And this is why fascists hate comedians. They expose the marrow and have no fear.
Viva the satirists!
