Michigan’s “red flag” law, which allows courts to temporarily remove firearms from a person who poses a clear threat to themselves or others, has become a model that Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow wants to see implemented across the country.

Sen. Chris Murphy endorses Mallory McMorrow in Michigan ... another endorsement crosswise with Schumer/DSCC subtle preferences in contested primaries (they like Stevens)

❌ All while not taking a dime of corporate PAC $$

Thanks to YOU 💪💪

A new wave of rising Democrats is transforming what it means to fight back in Trump 2.0. One of them, MI Senate candidate and current @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social, joins @ 10a ET to discuss how Dems should meet the moment. #Velshi

Democratic anger at their own party fuels 2026 primaries With the party's image at record lows and declining even among Democratic voters, candidates for Senate see an opening to win by positioning themselves against leaders.

NEW: When Mallory McMorrow conveyed her plans to run for Senate, DSCC asked her to hold off, per 3 sources.

More calls, some staff level; same result.

Per one source: “It was, ‘Can you wait a little longer, can you wait?’”

McMorrow defied them and launched.

Why the Democratic Party Fears Its Best Candidates Protecting the status quo when voters are desperate for change is not a good strategy.

I explain why the Democratic Party can’t bring itself to embrace young, charismatic candidates like Mallory McMorrow and Zohran Mamdani:

👏 THANK YOU, Sen. McMorrow.

I've been shouting from the rooftops about this for years.

(and thank you, @adambonica.bsky.social, for your deep dive which brought the problem into public view)

The scourge of "SCAM PACS" is one of the main reasons I started my Blue26.org fundraising project.

McMorrow: What Trump has done is weaponize us against each other, when everybody needs hospitals, good schools, and health care.

It has become this battle for scarcity, when we’re the wealthiest country in the world. We should not be fighting each other for our basic needs.

Woah, Mallory McMorrow significantly outraised Haley Stevens in the 2nd quarter

🔵 Mallory McMorrow $2.1 million
🔵 Haley Stevens $1.3 million

Stevens transferred additional $1.2M cash left over from her US house account

Saturday I was excited to see and meet the amazing US Senate candidate from Michigan, State Sen. @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social.

Mallory is IN the fight for our democracy and all the things that should come with it for EVERYONE. In the Senate, she will stand up for people, not her power or position.

First quarter of my US Senate campaign by the numbers:

✅ >$2.1 million raised
✅ >28,000 individual donors
✅ All 83 counties
✅ 97% of donations under $100

Together we are doing something BIG.

And we're just getting started.

LET’S GO!
