Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a Bernie Sanders–endorsed physician running for the Democratic nomination for Michigan’s U.S. Senate seat in 2026, spoke with Drop Site’s Julian Andreone on Wednesday about his campaign and the issues driving it. The former 2018 Michigan gubernatorial candidate discussed getting money out of politics, Medicare for All, the Iran war, corruption in Congress, and Jeffrey Epstein’s ties to intelligence agencies. @JulianAndreone | @AbdulElSayed

Dear Democrats in Congress,

This war is immoral because it has no clear justification. And it’s illegal because you have not authorized it.

To oppose authorizing it but support funding it is incoherent. And that fecklessness is why Trump keeps rolling us.

Grow a damn spine.

Money doesn't buy votes. People vote.

I see you, Munising!!! 🤝

No war with Iran.

Trump ran on “America First,” promising to end regime change wars. Now he’s dragging us into another one—with no justification to the American people or Congress. While working people struggle at home, he escalates abroad. This war must end. This aggression must stop.

“None of us pay our taxes to fund the killing of children anywhere,” El-Sayed tells Detroit Metro Times. “But that’s what our tax dollars were used for in Gaza.”

Packed crowd in Ann Arbor to hear from @crheinga.bsky.social and me on how we guarantee healthcare in this country. Medicare for All and MiCare would finally rid us of the need for private healthcare—and offer the security we all deserve. We have a historic opportunity to get this done.

Let’s keep going, Michiganders!

The City of Romulus just passed a resolution against ICE’s new detention facility. Huge win for Michiganders. This is what it looks like when the People stand up. And we won’t stop pushing until ICE is abolished.

ICE just bought this building in Romulus to turn it into a detention center. In a matter of months, this could turn into a place that ruins lives. All that money should be saving lives—through healthcare, housing, or infrastructure.

Why the hell are we spending our tax dollars on this? ABOLISH ICE.

DTE's playbook:

Donate to politicians ➡️ Those politicians appoint friendly regulators ➡️ Request a rate hike from regulators ➡️ Get approved ➡️ Profit billions ➡️ Repeat.

Definition of corruption. That's why I don't take money from DTE or any corporation.

Rep. Summer Lee of Pennsylvania endorsed Abdul El-Sayed for Michigan’s open U.S. Senate seat, calling him a strong leader for working people. She praised his efforts to provide glasses for kids, cancel medical debt, and stand up to corporations, saying he can deliver real results for Michigan!

@summerlee.bsky.social leads for the people. She is not afraid to take on corporate power at every turn and is a champion for working people everywhere. I look forward to fighting alongside her for a government that delivers healthcare, housing, good jobs, and good schools.

I am the only person running in this race who has never asked for and has never accepted a dime from corporate PACs because the central feature of the corruption in our politics is the role corporations have played to buy and sell politicians.

Thank you, friend. You made my day. Proud to have your support.

I love being a girl dad.

Strengthening manufacturing jobs in Michigan and support for workers’ rights legislation were areas of agreement for Democratic Senate candidates Abdul El-Sayed, U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens and state Sen. Mallory McMorrow at a UAW forum in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday.

Roxie Richner @roxierichner ICE out and then…fixed “from the inside”?

Mallory McMorrow's struggle to find a middle ground between Hayley Stevens and Abdul El-Sayed now has her saying we need "ICE out" but after it's "out" then it can be reformed from the inside.

We haven't had a Democratic doctor in the US Senate since 1969…and it shows.

Cozy, snowy, PACKED night last night in Chelsea.

Thank you to all of you who came out to be a part of this movement to get money out of politics, put money in your pocket, and pass Medicare for All.

Always grateful to have my brother Andy Levin on my team.

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow’s claim that her opponent, Abdul El-Sayed, is no longer proposing Medicare for all, and is now supporting her health plan, the public option, is not entirely accurate, according to a health policy expert and an independent Medicare for all advocate.

When my wife, Sarah, faced serious medical complications after giving birth, it was her union that listened, stood up for her, and made sure she got the leave she was entitled to.

This is what unions do: they protect working people when it matters most.

a lifelong public health worker who’s willing to say “abolish ICE” is running for senator in michigan, we can have better things

This can’t be retrained. This can’t be reformed. We have a responsibility to stand up and fight using every means in our power within the bounds of the law. Abolish ICE.

“The value of running for office or holding office is to make what is right popular,” said Abdul El-Sayed, a candidate for US Senate in Michigan, “not so that you can wait until what is right is popular.”

Abdul El-Sayed Wants to “Throw Some Righteous Punches” As the Democratic Party debates its identity, this progressive primary candidate and doctor is primed for a breakout moment in the race for Michigan’s Senate seat.

For my first of the year, I spoke with Michigan US Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed for @thenation.com. We talked about speaking to young voters, the role of legislators in defending our universities, Bernie Sanders, Zohran Mamdani, and more. Read it here:

Eight years after running against Gretchen Whitmer, Abdul El-Sayed will be on the ballot in Michigan’s Senate primary. "We’re trying to build something here that folks feel the righteous opportunity to try."
