Democrats will now control the House and Senate and be able to hold Trump accountable. That's great.
At a time of massive income and wealth inequality, we must do more. We must aggressively fight for working families.
No more excuses.

Mr. President, instead of spewing racist hatred against Abdul, explain to the American people why you:
- Gave the top 1% $1 trillion in tax cuts
- Threw 15 million Americans off the healthcare they had
- Unleashed brutal ICE raids
- Dragged us into an illegal war with Iran

Mr. Rogers: We don’t need another senator who will “protect” & “shield” the richest man alive. Musk’s doing just fine.
We need a senator who will protect 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, not the world’s first trillionaire.
Stop Oligarchy. Vote for Abdul El-Sayed.

🚨 LEAKED: In a fundraising appeal, Mike Rogers told potential donors, "When you stand with my Senate campaign today, you are directly shielding Elon Musk" from potential investigations into the harm caused by DOGE cuts.
Rogers asked for donations so he could "protect Elon."

Trump promised to “Drain the Swamp.” Then he made $2 billion off the presidency.
He promised to “Make America Healthy Again.” Then he took healthcare from 15 million people.
He promised “No More Wars.” Then he attacked Iran.
Say NO to Trump. Say NO to a Republican Congress.

This is the most important midterm election in modern American history. Here’s why.
Trump is the most dangerous president in our history.
He's an authoritarian who does not believe in the rule of law.
This election is not about Ds vs. Rs.
It's about whether we maintain a rubber-stamp GOP Congress that aids and abets Trump — or finally hold him accountable.

Why are Elon Musk and other billionaires flooding the airwaves with Islamophobic ads against Abdul?
Because they have nothing to say about the issues that matter to working people: healthcare, climate, AI and foreign policy.
WE WILL NOT LET THEM DIVIDE US

AIPAC is spending $9 million in Michigan to elect Mike Rogers.
Meanwhile, according to a Washington Post poll, a majority of voters there — including 61% of independents — want to end or reduce military aid to Israel.
LET'S ELECT ABDUL AND END ALL MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL

Billionaires in California are spending $333 million to wage a war.
Against what?
Homelessness? No.
Cancer? No.
Child poverty? No.
They’re waging war against a 5% billionaire wealth tax.
They’d rather poor kids with cancer die than pay a little more in taxes. That is obscene.

Since Trump’s election:
-Musk got $680 billion richer
-Musk became the 1st trillionaire
-SpaceX got $10 billion in federal contracts
-Tesla & SpaceX paid $0 in federal income taxes
Now, Musk’s spending $442 million to keep Republicans in control of Congress.
Gee, I wonder why?

Young people will live longest with the consequences of AI, climate change and our broken political system. They deserve a voice in shaping their future.

Wow. What a turnout. In a town of 10,000, in a county Trump won by almost 30 points, nearly 1,000 came out in support of Abdul El-Sayed.
Alpena, MI, thanks very much.
Today I’m in the town of Alpena, Michigan, to talk to working people about why Abdul El-Sayed should be the next Senator from Michigan.
The billionaires may have unlimited amounts of money, but we have something far more powerful. We have the people.
I'll be in Ann Arbor tonight with @AbdulElSayed for the Students vs. Billionaires Town Hall. Join us to fight for a government that works for all, not just the 1%.

Thank you Grand Rapids!

NO to hatred, bigotry and diviseness
NO to oligarchy
NO to authoritarianism
Let’s get it done.

AIPAC, crypto, and the AI industry are spending tens of millions against Abdul El-Sayed because he believes our government should work for working people, not billionaires.

I was in Eau Claire, WI this morning for a town hall with Rebecca Cooke.
I asked the crowd how many of them would like a data center in their community. This was their response.

Rebecca Cooke is the daughter of farmers, a waitress and a small business owner. She knows what working people are up against because she's lived it.
Wisconsin's 3rd District needs a representative who understands working families, not corporate lobbyists.
