The viral clip of Abdul refusing to condemn the Ayatollah and the IRGC - after they slaughtered 50,000 people - was a reminder of a consistent problem for El-Sayed: He’s far more comfortable condemning America than condemning radical Islamic terrorists and butchers.
.@MattWhitlock rips into Democrat MI Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s refusal to condemn terrorists, including the IRGC and the Ayatollah in Iran: “It was really interesting through all that kind of word salad answer, Abdul could never condemn terrorists, whether it was the IRGC, whether it was the Ayatollah. He kept pivoting back to criticism of America… The takeaway from the entire segment is Abdul can’t condemn terrorists.”

He’s literally describing the UK health system as a dream for the United States. Doubling taxes to pay for a system where 80,000 people died in a single year while *waiting for care.*
Abdul El-Sayed is a liar. El-Sayed has already called to completely eliminate private insurance at least 10 times.

"Our district?" Southampton is in VA-02. You live in VA-03. Have you voted for Bobby Scott yet?
For the last two years @JenKiggans has voted 100% of the time with Donald Trump to send health care premiums skyrocketing and kick 21,000 Virginians in VA-02 off their health care. Now Southampton Medical Center, right here in our district, is at risk of closing. People across Hampton Roads are paying the price for Kiggans’ loyalty to Donald Trump.

.@MattWhitlock on @MikeRogersForMI’s strategy in taking on Abdul El-Sayed: “I do think anything that Mike Rogers can do to shift the conversation to Abdul’s actual ideas on the economy helps him, because Abdul wants to double taxes to make health care work worse for people, and his plans are exactly what made Kamala Harris lose in 2024. His Medicare for All plan is exactly what made Kamala Harris lose.”

WATCH: @MattWhitlock on @MikeRogersForMI’s position on the Iran war, and why people worried about prices should *really* be looking at Abdul El-Sayed’s far-left policies: “I don‘t necessarily think these views are inconsistent. I think he spent an entire career fighting and killing terrorists, and he was very supportive of getting in there because Iran has been the world‘s worst state sponsor of terror historically. And I think he was supportive of that, but also circumstances over time have shifted. And he believes, like President Trump, that we need to wrap this up as quickly as possible. Again, I don‘t think that‘s necessarily inconsistent, but I also think if people are worried about prices, you look at Abdul El-Sayed, who wants to ban gas powered cars, and I think that‘s going to raise costs quite a bit. He wants to ban your private health insurance and double your taxes to pay for it. So I do think that there‘s a lot going on there. And I think Rogers is not necessarily being inconsistent. He‘s reacting to the circumstances on the ground.”

Every Supreme Court decision that follows the Constitution and benefits the American people is dangerous to Marc Elias.
🚨BREAKING: In a dangerous decision for voters, the Supreme Court authorized the Trump administration to overhaul a federal immigration database into a vast, centralized and deeply flawed database of personal information to initiate registration purges. democracydocket.com/news-ale…

Republicans have a bill to protect American families from covering the cost of energy for major consumers like data centers. Senate Dems blocked it. Democrats need to explain to midterm voters why they voted against LOWER PRICES.
In case you missed it... Republicans (led by @JonHusted) had a bill to lower electricity prices. It passed the House 417-3 - supported by everyone from the Freedom Caucus to the Squad. Democrats in the Senate blocked it. Why? Because they want max pain going into November.

My Ratepayer Protection Act would prevent the cost of data centers from passing on to local communities.   Consumers want it. The business community wants it. The president wants it. House Democrats and Republicans want it.  Senate Republicans want it.   Senate Democrats are the only ones standing in the way of this bill becoming law. Let’s get it done.

.@JonHusted is fighting to protect Ohio families from higher utility bills and ensure companies building projects in local communities pay their own way. But Sherrod Brown's liberal allies BLOCKED Husted's bill. Brown would rather sell Ohio out to Chuck Schumer than stand up for what's right.

Rich for the guy who compared gas cars to cigarettes and pushed for Green New Deal policies to *ban gas cars* to complain about gas prices. Gas prices are higher than they should be - but if Abdul's policies became law there'd be mile long EV charging lines and rationing.
It now costs the truck drivers on average $1,200 to fill up a single tank because of the war in Iran. Mike Rogers said it's a win-win-win. Are you winning?

Classic tiny guy energy from Abdul.
EXCLUSIVE: Abdul El-Sayed tells @ChuckTodd he would go on Bill Maher’s show despite the “terrible things Bill Maher has said about people like me.” @AbdulElSayed: “I wanna give people the image of watching him get his ass whooped on his own show by a guy who prays like I do.”

As Americans face rising housing costs and interest rates, there COULD be one more looming danger: Hidden data access fees from a new open banking rule. If allowed in the new rule, these fees could mean higher costs at every single stop of the home-buying and mortgage process.

Pretty rich after years of Euro virtue signaling about fossil fuels to play this card. Maybe the "diplomatic offensive" can include rolling back all their ridiculous highway robbery regs and taxes targeting US companies?

For the record, I don't think the ban is a good idea either - I think it makes things worse. BUT The EU should sit this one out.
