I am the only person running in this race who has never asked for and has never accepted a dime from corporate PACs because the central feature of the corruption in our politics is the role corporations have played to buy and sell politicians.

Mallory McMorrow's struggle to find a middle ground between Hayley Stevens and Abdul El-Sayed now has her saying we need "ICE out" but after it's "out" then it can be reformed from the inside.

Cozy, snowy, PACKED night last night in Chelsea.

Thank you to all of you who came out to be a part of this movement to get money out of politics, put money in your pocket, and pass Medicare for All.

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow’s claim that her opponent, Abdul El-Sayed, is no longer proposing Medicare for all, and is now supporting her health plan, the public option, is not entirely accurate, according to a health policy expert and an independent Medicare for all advocate.

When my wife, Sarah, faced serious medical complications after giving birth, it was her union that listened, stood up for her, and made sure she got the leave she was entitled to.

This is what unions do: they protect working people when it matters most.

This can’t be retrained. This can’t be reformed. We have a responsibility to stand up and fight using every means in our power within the bounds of the law. Abolish ICE.

β€œThe value of running for office or holding office is to make what is right popular,” said Abdul El-Sayed, a candidate for US Senate in Michigan, β€œnot so that you can wait until what is right is popular.”

Abdul El-Sayed Wants to β€œThrow Some Righteous Punches” As the Democratic Party debates its identity, this progressive primary candidate and doctor is primed for a breakout moment in the race for Michigan’s Senate seat.

For my first of the year, I spoke with Michigan US Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed for @thenation.com. We talked about speaking to young voters, the role of legislators in defending our universities, Bernie Sanders, Zohran Mamdani, and more. Read it here:

Eight years after running against Gretchen Whitmer, Abdul El-Sayed will be on the ballot in Michigan’s Senate primary. "We’re trying to build something here that folks feel the righteous opportunity to try."

A cure for Trumpism: Radical empathy and radical change A playbook for a post-Trump America

A lot of what Democrats have ended up offering is contempt for Trump voters and moderate policy ideas. Dr El-Sayed is suggesting a reversal on both counts: radical empathy for Trump voters..and radical change to eradicate the social conditions that enabled Trump

Abdul El-Sayed runs for Michigan's open U.S. Senate seat - WDET 101.9 FM Public health expert Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is running for a seat in the U.S. Senate. He talks with WDET’s Russ McNamara about policy.

I talked with @abdulelsayed.bsky.social for @wdet.bsky.social about his run for Michigan's soon to be open U.S. Senate Seat.

Key Points: El-Sayed says he would abolish ICE and the filibuster, prefers Medicare for All over a public option, and would make structural reforms to SCOTUS.

Abdul El-Sayed is in a neck-and-neck primary race to be the Democratic nominee for Michigan Senator. He's an unabashed supporter of abolishing ICE, Medicare for All, and cutting of arm shipments to Israel.

This is damning, and Mike needs to explain what he was doing for Maduro’s regime while living in Florida.

This isn't something you can reform or retrain. It’s what ICE was always destined to become. Abolish.

I’ve worked alongside law enforcement to keep our communities safe. ICE is not law enforcementβ€”it’s lawlessness in the name of Trump’s power.

So like I said in 2018: Abolish ICE.
