Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed (D.) is distancing himself from the Democratic Socialists of America, insisting he is "not technically or practically" a member of the radical group. But El-Sayed has been a markedly enthusiastic DSA supporter for years as he rose through Michigan's progressive political scene, repeatedly appearing at socialist events, including headlining a 2019 DSA fundraiser at which the group's Detroit chapter called him "a longtime friend."

Cori Bush, the far-left "Squad" member seeking to regain the House seat she lost in 2024, has put her embattled husband back on the campaign payroll, records show. The move comes despite how Bush became the focus of a Biden administration investigation after her 2024 campaign paid her beau for "security services."

As Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed celebrates "Black Women's Equal Pay Day" this week, records show the left-wing Democrat's salary as health director of Wayne County—which includes all of majority-black Detroit—far surpassed his predecessor and successor, both of whom are black women.

Sen. Jon Ossoff (D., Ga.) has spent thousands of dollars in campaign funds on "makeup services" in 2026, and his artist of choice has a long list of Hollywood credits, including The Notebook and The Hunger Games , a Washington Free Beacon review found.

Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett (D.), now running for governor of the Virgin Islands, again distanced herself from Jeffrey Epstein at a debate this week, and called the saga over her former friend and constituent "a very difficult chapter in Virgin Islands history." But Plaskett's continued ties to Epstein's longtime legal fixer and other Epstein associates suggest she's yet to close the book on the dead pedophile.

Left-wing Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed headlined a series of luxury yacht fundraisers for an Islamic nonprofit organization linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, a Washington Free Beacon review found. One of the events—which took place on "one of New York Harbor's most impressive private charter yachts"—featured a speaker who has urged Muslims to "stand with" Hamas and Hezbollah and stop "condemning antisemitism and condemning terrorism."

New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani (D.) is under fire for snubbing Jews from an influential judicial advisory panel and blocking the nomination of a former judge, who is Jewish, because he once represented Ghislaine Maxwell. But Mamdani tapped a left-wing attorney who has represented multiple convicted cop-killers—including two black nationalists who murdered two New York City police officers—to serve on the committee, the

Hunter Biden claimed under oath earlier this year that he's so broke he doesn't even own a car or a cellphone, and said his family is too strapped for cash to help him pay off millions in unpaid legal bills.

Influential Detroit pastor and radio host Horace Sheffield III enthusiastically endorsed Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed during a radio interview last week, urging listeners to make "5 and 10 phone calls" to help propel the left-wing Democrat to victory. Unmentioned in the glowing interview was that El-Sayed's campaign has paid tens of thousands of dollars to Sheffield's nonprofit organization.

Michigan imam Hassan Qazwini forcefully urged his congregants to turn out in force for Abdul El-Sayed on Tuesday, casting the Democratic Senate primary as an epic battle between a "clean" candidate and a "Zionist candidate" involved in a "plot being schemed by the pro-Israeli lobby."
