What we showed is that the power of our many is greater than the power of their money.
A
El Sayed, who campaigned strong for Medicare for all, will face former Republican Congressman Mike Rogers in November for the open Senate seat.
B
Mike Rogers is a guy who believe it or not, went back to Florida, Florida so he could lick every single boot Donald Trump owns to beg for his endorsement. I'm so sorry. If you want a senator who's going to lick some boots, fine, go vote for Mike Rogers. But if you want a senator who's going to stand up to Donald Trump, then you've got your option right here.
A
President Trump calls El Sayed's victory great news for the Republican Party and labeled him a communist loser who hates Jews and Israel. Also In Michigan, the AP calls the race for a Democrat, Dominic Donovan McKinney in the primary for a US House and for progressive William Lawrence in another house primary. The U.S. and Iran could work out a deal today. That's President Trump's optimistic assessment of talks to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to oil and shipping and also continuing to press Tehran to give up its nuclear program.

There's been a hum of motor vehicles across the 1.5 mile span for about a week now. The Gordie Howe Bridge's multi use path is open to walkers and bikers that lined up to be the first to cross over the Detroit river between Michigan and Ontario. An official bridge grand opening was held late last month without the Americans in protest of the Trump administration's threats of new tariffs on Canadian goods. Jeff Manasso, fox news.
