Give Abdul El-Sayed at least some credit for consistency. After tossing red meat during primaries to drive base turnout, most politicians will shift to the center afterward to compete in the general election. Radicals get pushed quietly to the side, and when they don't cooperate, the candidates will offer soft renunciations like, "This isn't the Jeremiah Wright I once knew." El-Sayed, however, won't play that game. This weekend, NBC's Kristen Welker pressed the new Democrat nominee for the Senate on his alliance with Hasan Piker, the radical Marxist who claimed, "America deserved 9/11." Will El-Sayed continue to have Piker

It is WAAAAYYYY too early to say how many revelations may come from the forensic analysis of Dr. Anthony Fauci's iPhone that was just turned over to the Senate, but already one bombshell has been released from an early analysis of the contents. Assume it is the tip of the iceberg. Shortly after the vaccine was released to the general public, reports of people suffering from "cytokine storms" as a reaction to the jab. This is unsurprising, given the fact that the patient's cells are turned into spike protein factories and there is no standard "dose" being administered, as happens in a normal vaccine. Your body decides

New York homeowners fighting the controversial pied-à-terre tax were handed an early win Monday, when a judge temporarily blocked Mayor Zohran Mamdani from implementing the new surcharge. Staten Island Supreme Court Justice Wayne Ozzi put the tax on ice after peeved property owners sued the city, claiming it botched the rollout and unfairly burdened them. Ozzi issued a temporary restraining order that nullifies any existing deadlines for the tax. The judge blocked City Hall and the city Department of Finance from keeping online a published tax roll of more than 950,000 Big Apple homeowners “related” to the new tax, according to the ruling.

Clean up in aisle 4! Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed just made a mess in an interview with Kristen Welker on NBC’s Meet the Press, and let’s just say his handlers have some fixing to do. One of El-Sayed’s signature issues is “Medicare for All.” It’s an issue that El-Sayed loves to mention but doesn’t like to talk about in detail. One reason is that it’s not good for sound bites. Once you get into the details of Medicare, it gets complex, bureaucratic, and boring. None of those things work well in media interviews. But there are other reasons he’d rather not talk at length

One of the nation’s top sports chronicles, Sports Illustrated, is under fire for pushing out a headline insisting that WNBA star Sophie Cunningham deserved to be bashed in the face on the court because of her support of women-only sports. The outrageous SI headline came after Cunningham suffered a fragrant clothesline foul on Saturday, when Chicago Sky player DiJonai Carrington smacked Cunningham in the face while attempting to block Cunningham’s shot. Carrington was handed a flagrant 2 foul for sending the Indiana Fever’s Cunningham smashing to the floor during her successful layup in the first quarter of Saturday’s game.

On Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Michigan Democratic Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed said President Donald Trump is an “overlord,” with a marriage on a “rocky road.” Host Jake Tapper said, “Speaking of President Trump, last night he posted on social media a photograph of him and First Lady Melania Trump in formal attire. Next to a photograph of you and your and your wife. You appear to be in a in a restaurant booth or something. Your wife is a psychiatrist. She’s wearing a hijab. The caption was two very different Americans. What was your response when you saw that?” El-Sayed said, “Yeah, he’s right. One in which your overlords

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, the Michigan Democratic Senate nominee, grew up in an affluent suburb of Detroit. The median household income in his hometown of Rochester Hills, named after Revolutionary War hero Nathaniel Rochester, is roughly $120,000. Not bad. By the time El-Sayed graduated from the local high school, well over 95% of his classmates were also headed to college. At the University of Michigan, an institution co-founded by the Catholic priest Gabriel Richard and Presbyterian minister John Monteith, El-Sayed excelled, graduated with high honors, and delivered his class's commencement speech.

Donald Trump’s attorney general nominee Todd Blanche on Thursday secured the votes he needed to be confirmed by the Senate. Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana turned out to be the decisive vote, and he announced his decision to support Blanche as head of the Department of Justice in a speech on the Senate floor Thursday morning. “Mr. Blanche is not perfect, and he will tell you this, but the choice is not between perfection and Mr. Blanche,” Cassidy said. “It is between Mr. Blanche and another acting attorney general who may not run the department effectively

Yesterday I took a stab at why the pollsters were so far off on the Michigan Senate race. I think it was a pretty good first stab at explaining the issue, and no doubt there will be a lot of focus on the issue by people more competent than I to explain how the pollsters got things so wrong. So I asked my friend-through-X, Scott Rasmussen, what he thought, and he was kind enough to give some insight into the issue. First, let's look at the magnitude of the problem: The polls weren't just off by a little; they missed the result by double digits. And it was everybody,

Voters in Tennessee dealt President Trump a blow and rejected Republican Rep. Andy Ogles at the polls Thursday. The second-term lawmaker faced a formidable primary challenge from Charlie Hatcher, a former state agriculture commissioner endorsed by outgoing Gov. Bill Lee (R). Hatcher’s victory is the latest blemish on Trump’s largely successful endorsement record this cycle. Thursday’s primaries also marked the first elections with the Volunteer State’s new House map after lawmakers approved GOP-friendly redistricting this spring.

U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn has won the Republican primary for governor, beating U.S. Rep. John Rose and state Rep. Monty Fritts, R-Kingston. Blackburn now faces Memphis Democrat Jerri Green in the general election. Tennessee hasn’t elected a Democrat to a statewide office since 2006. If elected, Blackburn would continue a streak of firsts, going from the state’s first female U.S. senator to its first female governor. At 74 years old, she would also make history as the state’s oldest governor. Blackburn was an early frontrunner, leading in the polls even before she announced her candidacy. Her campaign caught some flak late in the race as she refused

If Democrats were counting on Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) being a team player this cycle, they severely miscalculated. Sure, after she lost the Democrat Senate primary to state Rep. James Talarico (D-Texas) earlier this year, she endorsed him right away, but it’s basically been the cold shoulder ever since. While Democrats nationwide are convinced Talarico represents their best chance to flip Texas, Crockett just threw cold water on their fantasy when she told a national reporter she has no idea if Talarico can win, and let slip the sign that he probably won’t.
