In the last week, billionaire-funded super PACs spent more than $85 million trying to defeat Peggy Flanagan in Minnesota and Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan.
Guess what? THEY LOST BOTH RACES.
The American people are rising up against the oligarchs.

MINNESOTA: Today is Election Day.
Dark money groups are spending $20 million to defeat Peggy Flanagan in the most expensive primary election in MN history.
This election is about the people vs. the money. I encourage all Minnesotans to support Peggy Flanagan for U.S. Senate.

Sergey Brin has made $140 billion since Trump was elected.
If California passes its one-time 5% wealth tax, he would owe $14 billion and still be worth $270 billion.
So what is he doing? Spending $100 million to defeat the proposal.
FIGHT OLIGARCHY. TAX BILLIONAIRE WEALTH.

There is a reason why the super PACs and billionaires are flooding Minnesota with $20 million to defeat Peggy Flanagan.
Same thing as Michigan.
They do not want somebody in the Senate who will stand up for the working class.

It is insane that the Democrats allow super PACs like AIPAC to spend millions in their primaries — only for those same special interests to help elect Republicans in the general election.
My message to Democratic leaders: Ban super PACs from Democratic primaries NOW.

Minnesota: Will we continue to have a political system dominated by crypto, AIPAC, Big Tech and their billionaire-funded super PACs?
Or will we elect grassroots leaders like Peggy Flanagan who will stand with working families?
The choice is clear Tuesday: PLEASE SUPPORT PEGGY FLANAGAN.

Congratulations to Justin Pearson on winning his congressional primary.
When Justin is elected he'll be a fighter against corporate greed, a corrupt political system and the unrestricted growth of AI data centers.

The Republican Party and Mike Rogers are intellectually bankrupt.
At a time when healthcare, groceries, housing and childcare are unaffordable, the best they can do is attack Abdul’s Muslim faith.
Pathetic!

Subtle stuff from the NRSC.
Having referred to him up to this point as "Abdul El-Sayed" in its press releases, the committee this morning goes with "Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed"
AIPAC spent $30 million trying to defeat Abdul El-Sayed in the primary. They lost.
Now, they plan to spend tens of millions more against him in the general election.
This is not democracy. This is oligarchy and a corrupt billionaire-funded campaign finance system.
Fight back.

Congratulations to the California Democratic Party for endorsing a billionaire wealth tax in their state.
At a time of massive income and wealth inequality, we need the courage to take on the billionaire class — not cave to it.

Whether you're a Republican, Democrat or Independent, you know our campaign finance system is broken, workers need livable wages and healthcare should be a human right.
We can elect @AbdulElSayed who will take on the billionaire class and represent working families, not the 1%.
