    RACISM AND FEAR-MONGERING As we enter the last days of this campaign, it is becoming increasingly clear that Trump and his Republican allies have virtually nothing to say about the enormous crises facing our country. Think about it: Unprecedented income and wealth inequality. Nothing to say. 60% of our people living paycheck to paycheck. Nothing to say. The highest rate of child poverty of any major country. Nothing to say. A broken, dysfunctional and wildly expensive healthcare system. Nothing to say. A corrupt campaign finance system in which billionaires buy elections. Nothing to say. The existential threat of climate change. Nothing to say. An uncontrolled AI run by the wealthiest people on earth. Nothing to say. So, if you are unable to address the issues that impact tens of millions of American families, what do you do? What kind of campaign do you run? You do what demagogues over the ages have always done. You resort to fear-mongering, racism and dividing people up. That is exactly what Trump, Vance and Republican candidates are doing. I did a rally in Michigan last week with Abdul. In the 20 minutes I was watching television in Grand Rapids there were 5 disgusting and racist ads against him. Five ads in 20 minutes! According to the ads, Abdul was unfit to serve in the U.S. Senate because he is a Muslim, a “terrorist,” a “jihadist” and God knows what else. In Florida, the Republican campaign against Angie Nixon and her supporters is that Angie is a “communist” who hates our country and does not believe in freedom. Lies, lies and more lies. There are four days left in this campaign — the most important midterm election in modern history. We have to defeat the most dangerous president in American history. We have got to defeat the lies, fear-mongering and racism of the Republican Party. Let’s do it.

    If Democrats regain control of Congress, we need an agenda that works for working people: Medicare for All $20 an hour minimum wage Overturn Citizens United and end billionaire-funded super PACs End Trump's war in Iran End military aid to the Israeli government

    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.

    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.

    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?

    Trump just said the quiet part out loud: He doesn’t “give a damn” about higher gas prices, as long as his billionaire friends are making a fortune. Trump doesn’t tell the truth very often, but he did last night!

    TRUMP on HIGH GAS PRICES: We’re making money like we’ve never made before. They’ll say: President Trump is bragging about all the money they're making while people are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. We’re making a freaking fortune.
