Thank you for your service. I am looking forward to having you as our Secretary of State in Michigan at some point in the future.

No, we need to focus on the majority that includes people who voted Democratic or didn’t vote at all. Let’s start there - that is the real reality.

Most of the U.S. either failed to vote or voted for the Democratic Party candidates. This isn’t all or even the majority of Americans. We need the “independent” and infrequent voters to step the fuck up.

It would be appropriately medieval to just let him stay in there … starve him out.

You can’t possibly be serious, right? Democrats aren’t perfect, so we should pretend like they’re the same as the wannabe autocrats? Please.

Good. U of M and Open AI haven’t been dealing with communities in good faith as far as I can tell. Let’s slow this down and see if we can get them to be as transparent and community focused as they promise they “will be” once they have their way.

So glad I have the option to obtain locally sourced beef here in Michigan. We are gong to have to regionalize our food chain and stop with the big distributors.

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

This is how it should be done. All Democrats, progressive and centrist, need to band together to get Democrats in and MAGA out.

Why do people vote these jackels into office? He’s the Majority Leader - it’s literally his job to rein in the executive branch as needed. What a waste of space in the Senate.

It’s literally your job to do oversight of the executive branch. What a freaking wimp.

The dog caught the car. All the bitching about (non-existent) waste, fraud and abuse has lead to the cutting of essential services. This is the GOP plan all along. Break it and privatize. The enshitification of the USA brought to you by tech bros and grifters

It’s the Dem primary. Stevens is not a Republican and I’ll vote for her in the general if she’s the candidate chosen by the majority voting in the Dem primary.

Janet D. @snarkymi.bsky.social · 23/07/2026
Real change requires the will of the country to back it up - until now, Dems haven’t had it. The independents and non-voters just don’t seem to care enough to make it so, and the parties end up fighting over 2-3% of actual voters. We cannot afford to loose in the midterms.

AIPAC linked PACs are not new nor is their mission to target Democrats per se - they are simply laser focused on anyone who opposed continuing unfettered aid to Israel. DSCC and DCCC shouldn’t be aligned during the primaries - state parties control that process.

Janet D. @snarkymi.bsky.social · 11/07/2026
I don’t think that’s a fair assessment. I just read her full statement. I agree that the delay has caused the bills to be impossible to retroactively implement, but that is ENTIRELY due to the delay caused by republicans. She should have signed and made the Republicans responsible.

I know plenty of people of integrity who support (1) the existence of Israel without supporting the policies of Netanyahu and the Israeli right wing; and (2) universal healthcare but don’t co-sign that MFA is the only option. McMorrow was my choice; considering El-Sayed because we need to be bold.

As HCR has pointed out - the Republicans could have stopped this at any time. They chose not to. They chose Trump over the American economy. Why do people vote Republican?

Would love to rescind any tax incentives given to these data centers. Also - we need to find some way so that universities are not “cover” for unfettered regulation.

I’m not supporting Stevens but am otherwise undecided on my primary vote right now. The condescension coming from some folks is a real turn off, but trying not to let that affect my decision.

There is plenty of stupid to go around - every single time we claw back to something better as a foundation to realize the promise of our democratic republic - we have folks who refuse to vote because “both sides are the same” or “I just don’t like her” … well … that’s a special kind of stupid.

You are conflating support for Israel and support for Netanyahu. The state of Israel was established to provide a Jewish homeland in the face of the world wide anti semitism that allowed the holocaust to happen. Netanyahu’s actions do not negate the need for Israel to exist.

It’s Stevie Wonder’s birthday, which means it’s NATION TIME, and I must begin tonight’s turntable party with our national anthem: “Songs in the Key of Life” in its entirety, INCLUDING the four-song bonus record

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Slavery was legal. The Holocaust was legal. The blatantly partisan U.S. Supreme Court rulings to steal Black political power and empower the dictator are legal too. But that doesn’t make them right, and they won’t survive the real justice that is coming.

People wonder why Americans are rejecting candidates beholden to Israeli PACs. We're not even "mercenaries" for Israel. We're fighting/dying in their war AND we're paying for it. While Israelis enjoy affordable healthcare/education and all the things we're told we can't have. F*ck that & this 👇🏻ass.

John Robert’s has breached his fiduciary duty to the Constitution and the American people. It goes so far as to be worthy of impeachment and removal.

I have to agree with you. He’s an outright liar and should be removed from his position.
