As Health Director for Wayne County, we put vending machines with free Narcan and fentanyl test strips in 100 locations. We hoped to make even a small dent in offsetting the opioid epidemic that Mike Rogers made even worse by voting with the pharmaceutical industry his entire career in Congress.

If a politician takes money from weapons manufacturers, don't be surprised when they back weapons contracts. If a politician takes money from Big Pharma, don't be surprised when they try to stop guaranteed healthcare. That's why I don't take ANY corporate money. None.

Here's how we get Medicare for All done: Make Medicare whole (no one can keep all the parts straight!) Include vision, dental, and hearing. Begin extending to more people, starting with children. We arrive at Medicare for All, which means great Medicare for everyone.

Donald Trump is not himself the disease of our politics. He’s just the worst symptom. The disease is the system that allows corporations to buy and sell politicians so they can rig it against the rest of us. Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All.

Mike Rogers is a corporate sellout who moves back to Michigan every few years to run for office to take another swing at the revolving door of corporate politics.

With 45 days until the midterms, I urge you all to: 1) Help get out the vote. 2) Protect our electoral machinery from interference. 3) Not succumb to complacency, defeatism, or cynicism. We are the only ones who can end this nightmare. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

I get to put a hat on Heater one (1) time per year and it’s when she’s under anesthesia while getting her teeth cleaned. The vet puts it on before she wakes up. I consider it a fair trade for the cost of her dental cleaning.
I am beaming while holding an EXTREMELY high Heater. She is an orange cat with little white mittens and — in this picture only — wearing a crocheted watermelon hat. She IS NOT happy about it.

There's more establishment anger over Abdul El Sayed referring to Fetterman as an ogre than Fetterman saying he was a "pro Hamas" candidate. Totally normal and acceptable Islamophobia. Doesn't bother Democratic establishment leaders, donors, and talking heads. So strange. Why is that?

Black text on white page that reads: New Yorkers: the first wave of storms has passed over our city, but we're not in the clear.

Two more rounds of rain and thunderstorms are expected tonight, the first beginning around 6 p.m. and the second closer to midnight.

Please continue to exercise caution. If rainfall becomes heavy, winds are strong, or you hear thunder, head indoors immediately.

Your city is prepared.

@NYCWater has doubled its rain patrols today and is working alongside @NYC_DOT and @NYCSanitation to keep catch basins clear and water moving off our streets as quickly as possible.

Our Downed Tree Task Force, Tow Truck Task Force, and High Water Rescue Teams are on alert and ready to respond wherever they're needed.

If you see a downed tree or a clogged catch basin, report it to @nyc311.

If you are trapped by rising water or in immediate danger, call 911 immediately.

If you never left your home, you might think from the incessant ads that Stevens has it in the bag. Drove from Muskegon to Kalamazoo today and saw soooo many Abdul El Sayed yard signs. 💪 Stevens’s campaign is winning ad bids. El Sayed’s is winning hearts.

It's not radical to believe everybody in the richest country in the world should have healthcare. It's not radical to believe we shouldn't send our money abroad to bomb people when we need money for our schools here. It's not radical to believe corporations shouldn't be able to buy politicians.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo called Houston home for 35 years. On Tuesday, an ICE agent shot and killed him. His family learned of his death from a video before anyone bothered to knock on their door.
New York City stands with the Salgado family in demanding a full, independent investigation and real accountability. To the Salgado family and any immigrant family in this city living in fear: we grieve with you and we will continue to stand beside you in the pursuit of justice.
Abolish ICE.

Our path to victory in November has nothing to do with "progressive," "left," "right," "red," or "blue." It has everything to do with siding with the people who have been locked out of our politics for too long.

Black text on white page that reads: 

Last night, Israeli forces intercepted and boarded a humanitarian aid flotilla bound for Gaza in international waters off the coast of Greece — unlawfully detaining more than 175 people, including several New Yorkers.

My team has been in direct contact with State and Federal partners as we work to confirm the whereabouts and conditions of these New Yorkers.

This is a brazen violation of international law.
Those detained must be released.

Today's Supreme Court decision is a direct assault on the promise of the Voting Rights Act. It risks disenfranchising millions of Americans along racial lines and weakening the very foundation of our democracy.

Democracy is not self-sustaining. We must build, preserve, and defend it together.

If we want to motivate voters of all ages, we have to try something different. I propose kindness, authenticity, and unapologetic progressivism. People power over entrenched power. That’s the future.
USA TODAY STORY: 

Kat Abughazaleh is speaking to Gen Z. Democrats should listen. | Opinion

What I hope Democrats glean from Kat Abughazaleh's campaign, regardless of whether she wins, is that Gen Z is not content being fed the same talking points Democrats have been making since 2016.

By Sara Pequeño USA TODAY
Updated March 16, 2026, 11:29 a.m. ET

Photo of Democratic congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh addresses supporters in Chicago after pleading not guilty Nov. 12, 2025, to charges filed in connection with a protest against the Trump administration's mass deportation campaign. Michael Lori/USA TODAYDuring a February debate hosted by Fox 32 Chicago, Kat Abughazaleh said everything I've seen my friends say on Instagram in the past two years.

And there was no skirting around sensitive subjects during her answers. The candidate running for Illinois' gth Congressional District in the U.S. House called for the abolition of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Abughazaleh called the actions of Israel a "genocide" and labeled Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a "war criminal." She brought up concerns about artificial intelligence and plugged her campaign office, which doubles as a mutual aid hub to help constituents in need.

The former journalist and content creator had several moments where she looked directly into the camera and talked to viewers directly - at one point even pulling a brief "Office"-style glance at the camera while her opponents, Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss and state Sen. Laura Fine, bickered over the involvement of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) in the Democratic race.

Yet throughout everything, Abughazaleh's values shine through.

Her campaign office's mutual aid hub has served thousands in the community and is proving to Democrats that there are things they could be doing now to help their communities. She has been admonished by Democratic politicos who feel her campaign is radical, yet the same people want to see the party capture authenticity like hers.

Photo of Kat, main headshot."So much of our campaign has been experimental and honestly laughed at by a lot of people who have been in politics for a long time," Abughazaleh said. "And then they see that it works, and then they get mad."

They get more than mad - they get scared. They're scared of losing power, and they're scared that someone with no political experience but the values they're scared to espouse is getting so much attention for being what the Democratic Party has been scared to be.

"It's been almost a year now, and this campaign has been run by the hard work and faith of so many incredible people from our staff to our volunteers, and the entire time we have been told that we have no chance, that we have no shot, that this could never work," Abughazaleh said. "And now organizations like AIPAC are panicking because they realize that we're going to win. And we knew the entire time."

What I hope Democratic leaders glean from Abughazaleh's campaign for U.S. Congress, regardless of whether she wins, is that Gen Z is not content being fed the same talking points Democrats have been making since 2016. We want to see the party take charge and do everything in its power to help people. And if we don't get it from those now in office, we will happily run to replace them.

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.
