Jason is vaporizing Haley’s future so that he can be a main character in this moment and it is sad to watch her participate in that. He was an extraordinarily toxic presence, was verbally abusive to staff and had some of the worst political instincts I’ve ever witnessed.
Rep. Haley Stevens' fiancé, Jason Turkish, says Jewish Democrats are deeply troubled by the growing dispute between Stevens and Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed. Speaking on @foxandfriends, Turkish says longtime Democratic families are struggling with how to respond as El-Sayed faces criticism over his views on Israel and his handling of an ad Stevens has condemned as antisemitic. The confrontation comes after El-Sayed's campaign tells Stevens to stay away from his events, throwing a planned Sunday appearance with Rep. Jim Clyburn into uncertainty.

Haley Stevens' husband tells the NYT that Stevens has a bright future in politics and might even run for Senate again. In truth, she'll find that she has torched her political career, which one would think was obvious.

3 more women have accused Josh Jacobs of physical abuse, per @mattschneidman One of the women (from 2022) didn’t report abuse because Jacobs told her she could be deported.

As a member of the Black delegation, this white woman does not speak for me.
On the eve of the eve of the eve of our BIG and important election, a unifying moment has arrived, our democratic nominee for U.S Senate disavows the Rebellion PAC ad made by Hasan Piker’s uncle that claims Jews are responsible for America’s economic woes. We have learned from party leaders and emissaries, as reported in the news media that he has. On Sunday I will join with the Great Democratic leader, Jim Clyburn and Dr El Sayed for a church service in the beautiful city of Detroit. The political coalition of Black and Jewish voices that have carried Michigan and this country through so many storms to the righteous path of liberal democracy and equal opportunity for all will ring out.

Good news, regardless of the election results, is that Haley Stevens is done, and people are seeing firsthand how pro-Israel Dems and centrists tried to sabotage Abdul El-Sayed.

It’s very funny that we all have to act like this is about some high minded battle against “antisemitism” when it’s the world’s most obvious last min rat fucking operation by the same fanatical Israel dead-enders who kept Stevens’ otherwise DOA campaign afloat for months on end.
I recommend my friend @HaleyforMI call @AbdulElSayed directly tonight. I think the two of them should align on the reality that this Rebellion ad has put them both in a very awkward position, and the only way out is for the two of them to work together. Don’t let the dividers win.

The early voting blog is updated! The in-person early voting period is over and 70% of Nevada's vote is probably in. 70%! Ds have a 35,000-ballot lead statewide, or 5.4 percent, and a 61,000-ballot lead in Clark, or 13 percent. I see blue people. thenevadaindependent.com/art…

In 30+ years in politics and media, I've never seen a primary candidate who vastly outspent their opponent and lost then use the final days of the general election trying to still make the election about themselves and to sabotage their party. A truly epic commitment to the bit.

Haley Stevens ran her entire primary campaign on the premise that as an Obama staffer she helped save the auto industry and she strongly suggested that Obama was endorsing her. Now Obama is rallying with El-Sayed and the UAW is calling out her “disgusting divide and conquer politics.”

I don't know what the fuck is going on here but if you supported Stevens and you don't want to be associated with one of the most disgraceful, bigoted ratfucking attempts in recent political history I encourage you to let her know that this must stop immediately

He can’t disavow the ad because he agrees with the bigotry behind it.

After being crushed all day, Ds just took a small lead on the last day of in-person early voting with Clark mail. Clark firewall is above 61,000. It's going to be blue Tuesday. Only question left is how blue. I'll do a post in a bit, extensive look in AM. Support @TheNVIndy!

I have never seen so many Democrats attempt to ratfuck their own candidate in the final stretch of a campaign. Absolutely insanity.

Black folks in Michigan don’t need @HaleyforMI showing up at ANY Black church. Her actions against @AbdulElSayed is BULLSHIT. She has inserted herself into the campaign just four days before Election Day. This is pure sabotage. @ClyburnSC06 @RepJamesClyburn doesn’t need her standing next to him. He can handle it!
