Javits Frimpong should still be alive.
As 15-year-old Javits Frimpong was tragically shot and killed in the Bronx, my friend and former principal Joshua Laub attended the funeral of 15-year-old Jihad Pack, shot a week earlier in Harlem. According to NYPD data, 16 children ages 17 and younger have been killed by gun violence so far in 2026.
In June 2024, the U.S. surgeon general declared firearm violence a public health crisis, citing that firearms are the leading cause of death among American children. In communities like mine, this is not news. Gun violence has been a ubiquitous part of our entire lives.

Tonight I’m thinking of Emmett Till, Ida B. Wells, Medgar Evers, Fannie Lou Hamer, and Bob Moses! I’m thinking of Freedom Summer, the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, and Bennie Thompson. Scott Colom stands on the shoulders of all of them.
Thank you, Mississippi! Thank you to all the organizers. Y’all did this for all of us!

Today, we honor all those who stepped up to serve our country & remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Let us recommit today to ensuring our vets receive the benefits they earned when they get home.

This exchange between @HamawyForNJ and @PamelaBrownCNN, much like @AbdulElSayed on @Morning_Joe the other day, would have been impossible to imagine on any cable news program 6 to 12 months ago. It is impossible to state just how much the dialogue has shifted. This is leadership.

What an incredible honor to shake this man’s hand. Bryan Stevenson and the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI) have helped secure release, relief, or sentence reversals for over 140 people on death row. Words can barely describe this brothers impact. He is a national treasure and hero. I love this man.

This is legit how the American People feel right now. Accountability isn’t revenge. It allows for healing and progress. We can address affordability AND hold them accountable for fleecing the American People.
Folks are struggling and we haven’t seen the worst of it yet because all the horrible things go into effect next year.
Keep your foot on their necks folks!

NEW: A post-race memo titled "The New Way To Win" from Abdul for Senate leadership @aliakapasi @MRG_Strat lays out exactly how @AbdulElSayed overcame being outspent by hundreds of millions to become Michigan's next United States Senator.
Read more for how the Abdul campaign won the attention economy, let Abdul be Abdul, made enormous gains in rural Michigan, and expanded Abdul's appeal not by moderating, but by doubling down on the populist message that won the primary.
"BOTTOM LINE: For years, Democrats have followed a playbook for winning elections. Conventional, mainstream candidates pivot straight to the center after a primary. Abdul won and won big because he was the exact same candidate on the day he launched his campaign as he was 565 days later when he won.
"He talked about big, bold solutions to get money out of politics, put money in pockets, and pass Medicare for All. He did not cave to demands from Washington and the establishment to become a cookie-cutter, status quo Democrat who shied away from any environment that carried risk."
"That kind of campaign would never have won the most expensive Democratic primary in American history, and it would never have overcome hundreds of millions in vicious, dog-whistle, fearmongering attack ads."
"Abdul won because he was himself, because this campaign was unflinching in leveraging his authenticity on every single platform and in every single arena."
"That is how the MANY beat the MONEY."

So glad Ta-Nehisi said this: it is one of my bugbears that everyone gets that McCain moment wrong; even card-carrying anti-racist liberals praise McCain for that remark that was unambiguously and obviously racist. I remember Ben Affleck rightly calling it out on Bill Maher’s show years ago.

Working people in Michigan, California, Colorado, and New York may live thousands of miles apart, but we’re facing the same struggles: rising costs, unaffordable healthcare, and an economy that puts corporate profits ahead of working families.
We need leaders who will put the American people first. We need Medicare for All. We need to get money out of politics and put more money back in your pockets. We need to abolish ICE and prosecute ICE. And we need to make sure our taxpayer dollars are invested in building schools and hospitals here at home, not funding bombs that kill children overseas.
This is why @RoKhanna @MelatKirosCO @RepBowman @BlomquistForMI and I are voting for Dr. Abdul El-Sayed!
