Mike Rogers' campaign is such an insult to the intelligence. Making football an issue? Running blatantly dishonest claims that he'll work to reduce prescription-drug prices? And now it turns out claims about being a union assembly-line worker are lies? He obviously thinks Michigan voters are fools.

The term for it is pillaging. It's a war crime.

That ad seems very consciously trying to present him without the sloganeering and the playground trash talk. It's the first time El-Sayed has come across like a mature adult.

Here in Michigan, we have long led the fight to protect the right to vote, and while federal interference in state-run elections will likely continue, I am confident we will succeed in protecting that right from whatever comes next.

Always remember. The populist left wanted John Fetterman. The "evil" centrists and moderates wanted Conor Lamb.

Watching this campaign, I often wonder if either candidate realizes they're running for federal office, not governor or the state lege.

I've said for years the online left isn't really leftist in the traditional sense of the concept, bc most have little or no structural theory of society, economy, or politics. It's all about personalities, either political figures, or the type of people they disliked in high school & college.../1

She actually HAD a legitimate hypocrisy attack on Abdul: His wife doesn't accept ANY insurance INCLUDING Medicare or Medicaid (because the reimbursement rates are too low) which *is* a fair attack against someone heavily pushing M4A. But she still managed to fuck it up. Amazing.

Well, unlike you, I actually live in Michigan and will be voting for El-Sayed in November, so perhaps you should mind your own business and stick to North Carolina politics.

It's an issue if enough people decide it's one. Hillary Clinton spent her entire political career fielding attacks by both the left and right over things Bill did that they didn't like. Many based their view of her on those attacks. I generally don't respect it--I didn't there--but it does matter.

Politicians have always been held to account for the conduct of their spouses and immediate family. It may not matter to you, and that's fine, but it does matter to others. It's not an unreasonable attack, although I gather McClain didn't handle it well.

R. S. Martin @rsmwriter.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

I'm not surprised they're bringing that up. It's not a good look for El-Sayed to be so vocal about Medicare for All when his wife has banned Medicare patients from her practice. They're accusing of him of pandering and promising unicorns, and this plays right to it.

He's speaking into the wrong end of the phone.

This week’s Supreme Court decision is another reminder of what we are up against heading into November. They can put more obstacles in our way, but they cannot take away our power. Our answer is to show up, make our voices heard, and turn out in numbers that are too big to rig.

No, but he doesn't jump into my notifications uninvited to lecture me about politics in this state. I don't mind opinionated. What pisses me off is presumptuousness. And I hope you take a hint.

Tim Curry, Outlandish Star of ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show,’ Dies at 80

The three-time Tony nominee terrified audiences in Stephen King's 'It' and was a prolific voice actor as well.

Perhaps you should mind your own business when it comes to Michiganders and MI candidates. All that matters to you is AES being a Dem vote. Stevens or McMorrow would be just as good, if not as flattering. But AES would have responsibilities to Michiganders if elected that I don't see him respecting.

By the way, do you live in Michigan? Because I can't tell from your page.

I don't care if anyone is Muslim or not. The ones I know here in Farmington Hills are all nice people. I can't speak for Darmofal, but I suspect he feels the same.
