From Detroit to Houghton, Michiganders are saying the same thing: It shouldn't be this hard to get by.

1,200 Michigan workers are about to lose their income and their health insurance—right before the holidays. And it’s not like GM can’t afford to reassign them. Last year alone, GM’s $30M CEO authorized the company to spend $6 billion to buy its own stocks to inflate its stock price, rather than innovating to protect jobs for their workers. This used to be illegal. Now it’s being weaponized to throw workers out in the cold. Companies should care more about their workers than Wall Street.

General Motors should care more about their workers than Wall Street.

How do we save rural hospitals?

Medicare for All.

Medical debt shouldn’t exist.

Go Blue! (Or Go Green if you’re of that persuasion). But one thing we can all agree on today—we’d never root for Notre Dame.

Abdul El-Sayed speaks with Copper Country residents about how medical debt impacts their communities HOUGHTON, Mich. (WBUP/WJMN) -- The cost of medical care alone can feel crippling.

"We need solutions that are going to empower people to live their longest, healthiest lives as they age, and at the same time empower folks to stay in the workforce when a loved one is aging," El-Sayed said.

Thank you to the U.P. for showing up for our campaign’s town hall tour!

After…

✅ 300+ yoopers met,
✅ 6 whitefish eaten 🐟,
✅ 1 double rainbow seen 🌈,
✅ 1 lost dog saved… 🐕,

This movement is just getting started.

60 cities and 129 events across the state…and we’re just getting started.

Medicare for All is about one simple idea: that no matter who you are, healthcare is there for you when you need it.

I went to med school to learn to heal. And that’s when I realized it was our society that was making people sick. So I decided to use my medical training to heal those pathologies—and it’s why I’m running for U.S. Senate now.

The existence of medical debt is a policy choice.

Undoing it is a policy choice, too.

I got to share how we erased it with @krystalball.bsky.social and @kylekulinskishow.bsky.social last week.

Why does Donald Trump say my name that way?

Medicare for All isn't just a healthcare guarantee, it's a small business empowerment program.

When I was Wayne County’s Health Director, we kicked off our program to deliver over tens of thousands of pairs of free glasses to Michigan kids who needed them—just like I did in Detroit nearly a decade ago. Because that’s what public service is about.

Donald Trump would rather shut down your government than keep your healthcare costs from going up.

No, I will not take your corporate PAC money.

(Today’s the last day of the quarter – if you’re a person, not a corporation, chip in to power our movement today!)

Democrats do not owe Trump a damn thing. We owe Americans to stand up for their healthcare.

It's time for a billionaire tax.

We CAN have nice things—but only if we stop letting a small few hoard wealth and rig the rules of our system.

I'm joining @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social live on MSNBC this morning at 9:20 AM. Tune in!

WATCH: “All of it goes back to one thing: GREED… I’m sick of oligarchs & billionaires while Michiganders go hungry.”

MICHIGAN senate candidate @AbdulElSayed shows how the ultra-rich take more than they need by trying to scarf down a 12-stack burger🍔

No one needs $100 billion…just like no one needs a 12-stack cheeseburger.

We didn't start the fire...

Pro-tip: If you see ghost peppers on the campaign trail, proceed with caution.

Sen. Bernie Sanders: “We need Abdul El-Sayed in the Senate.”

It shouldn’t be this hard to get by.

Charlie Kirk was wrongly and unjustly assassinated. He should still be alive today. These facts do not change the reality that his speech was often xenophobic, hateful, and inflammatory. (1/2)

Medicare for All is key to the future of the Democratic Party.

Money out of politics.

Money in your pocket.

Medicare for All.

That’s what I’ll fight for in the United States Senate.
