a major problem with American political discourse is if you say what someone did and how that played out and ascribe intent, a good portion of the media will ask you to believe the next words they say, even/especially when those words run counter to their actions.

Screenshot from X. Clipping wings (@clippingwings):
“Sam Seder says Neera Tanden and Sarah Longwell are desperate for El-Sayed to lose
They're using Hasan Piker now, as a function of Sarah Longwell's push to make Hasan a househol...” [cuts off, there is a linked video of Sam Seder]

Quoted by Tim Miller (@timodc): “This part about Sarah and Neera wanting Abdul to lose is just a lie. I have discussed this very thing with them
on my show. We have disagreed and argued about tactics but they are clear about the need to defeat Rogers
This fictional straw woman exists in your head only @SamSeder”

people are clowning on Taylor for this but she couldn’t have written a more subtle song about Travis because he wouldn’t understand it

But my baby likes what he likes
He already took me to Cleveland
And showed me The Heights!
So hate all you like

Tweet from Pete Nakos:

From the NCAA: NCAA rules do not have a protocol for overturning the outcome of a game.
The FBS Oversight Committee also does not have the authority to overturn the outcome of a game.
The NCAA Football Rules Book states:
Rule 1-1-3-b Winning Team and Final Score
ARTICLE 3.
a. The teams shall be awarded points for scoring according to rule and, unless the game is forfeited, the team having the larger score at the end of the game shall be the winning team.
b. When the referee declares that the game is ended, the score is final.
5-2-9 Rule Decisions Final
ARTICLE 9. No rule decision may be changed after the ball is next legally snapped, legally free-kicked or the second or fourth periods have ended.

This letter asking for action from Jewish Democrats and "independents" is signed by the brother of the former chair of the MIGOP and a current GOP UM Regent candidate (different guys). The movement to divide Dems over Abdul is *very literally* Republican-funded.

Ooh! I asked these guys what their deal is a week or so ago when I got one that said, “MSU is coming for us. Little Brother thinks they can out-vote us; show them we win at more than just football.” Here’s their very non-specific website: www.voice-your-vote.org I also had a different question.

Me: Out of pure curiosity are you sending different language to Michigan state fans?

Them: I'm not sure -- sorry.

lmao scratch what I said yesterday Emerson poll dropped

Infographic of Emerson poll, screenshot of WLNS website.
Text:

“Abdul El-Sayed opens 15-point lead in Michigan Senate poll
Abdul El-Sayed leads U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens 54% to 39% among likely Democratic primary voters in Michigan's U.S. Senate race, according to an Emerson College/WLNS 6 News survey released July 30, 2026.”
There is then a bar graph summarizing this information. McMorrow has 2% on the bar graph, with undecided at 6%.

Text:
“Emerson College/Nexstar Media survey of 700 likely Michigan
Democratic primary voters conducted July 26 to 27. The margin of error is plus-minus 3.7 percentage points. McMorrow suspended her campaign July 5.

While Dems in DC believe McMorrow has so little integrity that she is willing to endorse the candidate she plainly has less in common with over personal bitterness, I still think she’s better than that. I hope I’m right, but even if I’m wrong her dropping out will not go the way Peters hopes.

Screenshot from Wall Street journal

Michigan's Senate primary could offer the biggest test of the progressives' momentum.
El-Sayed, the Sanders-endorsed candidate running for Senate, has a lead in recent public polling over Rep. Haley Stevens (D., Mich.), the preferred candidate of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.). Mallory McMorrow, a state senator, has been trailing in third place.

Sen. Gary Peters (D., Mich.) isn't seeking re-election. While he has remained publicly neutral, he has told associates that he believes Democrats need to coalesce around one candidate to face El-Sayed in the primary and has suggested that McMorrow needs to consider dropping out of the race, according to people familiar with the discussions. A spokeswoman for Peters declined to comment. A McMorrow spokeswoman said the candidate was "looking forward to talking to the only people who will decide this race:
Michigan voters."
