The 2012 diatribe against the “Pink Ribbon Lobby” was published in 2×2 Project, a journal sponsored by Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, when El-Sayed was working as a physician in training and social epidemiologist. Pink ribbons are often distributed every October as part of Breast Cancer Awareness month. “The breast cancer lobby has done an incredible job raising my ‘awareness’ of Breast Cancer—if I weren’t an epidemiologist, it would have me believing that the women around me were in imminent danger,” the future gubernatorial and Senate contender wrote in the essay, first reported by The Washington Free Beacon....

She says immediately after the crash, dozens of men living in the neighborhood came out, removed the 18-year-old driver from her car and then turned their attention to her, verbally insulting her and threatening to attack her with a baseball bat while she waited for police to arrive. https://www.fox2detroit.com/video/fmc-rdfrw977v7j5c3dh

Future Hall of Famer. Justin Verlander send off Fair thee well, fair thee well!

Democratic Michigan Senate hopeful Dr. Abdul El-Sayed danced around pleas from an emotional student Wednesday to condemn the theocratic government of Iran and stand with anti-regime protesters. During a “Students vs. Billionaires” town hall in Ann Arbor, Iman Dashti recounted how his family was oppressed by the Islamic Republic — citing the case of his uncle, who Dashti said suffered 50 lashes before being put to death; and his cousin, who was allegedly detained for not wearing a hijab properly. Dashti then confronted El-Sayed over leaked audio in which the candidate fretted about opining on the death of late Supreme...

A sick hospital nurse is accused of beating a 4-month-old baby girl who was born prematurely, leaving her badly battered just before she was finally set to be sent home, police said. Kieran Ansley, 43, a nurse at Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital in Grand Rapids, Michigan, allegedly assaulted the baby, who was found by her mother with broken leg bones and bruises on her hands, arms, thigh, buttocks, abdomen and even her tongue. “The totality of the findings resulted in a diagnosis of pediatric physical abuse,” officials allege in court documents obtained by WOOD-TV. The baby girl was born in...

State officials said the incidents caused no harm to water quality or public safety.. Foreign actors gained access to computer systems at two small private water utilities in Colorado in late August, changing equipment controls before operators restored normal operations, according to the governor’s office. Ally Sullivan, a spokeswoman for Gov. Jared Polis, said the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment followed up with the providers to confirm the issues had been resolved. The governor’s office said it was unable to confirm which foreign actors and did not identify the utilities. “The two water utilities impacted are small, private...

Dan Klein, who appeared in an El-Sayed spot in a yarmulke, is a 'community organizer' for Detroit Jews for Justice, while a Rosh Hashanah video featured the Jewish Voice for Peace-tied Shifman familyMichigan Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed has attempted to address mounting concerns from Jewish voters by rolling out ads and social media videos touting "Jews for Abdul." Featured in the spots are three left-wing "social justice" activists with ties to an anti-Israel group that excused Hamas's Oct. 7, 2023, terror attack, arguing it was a result of "Israeli apartheid and occupation." A September 8 El-Sayed ad features former Detroit...

Neighbors remember the sound of church bells ringing on Sundays. A brick building with two sharply sloped roofs and a steeple — a Lutheran church for more than 80 years — still stands, but the cross that once stood atop the steeple is gone. About six years ago, the property was sold and turned into the Al Ihsaan Islamic Center. "They’ll turn anything into a mosque," Justin Tye, 57, told Fox News Digital during a guided tour of his hometown, where the foreign-born Muslim population has grown significantly over the past decade. Tye remembers the church as the centerpiece of...

According to the Middle East Forum’s report, El-Sayed’s campaign operated an exhibitor booth inside the convention hall, where campaign workers promoted his candidacy, solicited donations and recruited volunteers. Sep 21, 2026. Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, is asking the Internal Revenue Service to investigate whether the Islamic Society of North America violated federal rules governing tax-exempt organizations by reportedly allowing campaign activity for Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed at its annual convention. Self sent a letter Wednesday to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, citing a report from the Middle East Forum about El-Sayed’s appearance at the 63rd annual ISNA Convention in Detroit...

Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed (D) said President Trump’s MAGA movement is “eating itself” after conservative commentator Tucker Carlson praised the progressive while tearing into his GOP opponent, former Rep. Mike Rogers. El-Sayed was asked Monday about Carlson’s comments on the race earlier this month, when the former Fox News host said he “wouldn’t vote for Mike Rogers at gunpoint” and propped up El-Sayed’s “Trumpian” campaign.

Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who is campaigning on getting "money out of politics," will attend a fundraiser at the West Hollywood home of billionaire George Soros’ nephew. Jeffrey Soros, a California film producer, and his wife, Catharine Soros, will host a meet-and-greet alongside former Obama advisors and "Pod Save America" hosts Jon Favreau, Tom Vietor and Ben Rhodes, as well as other Hollywood figures, on Sept. 28, 2026, according to a flyer obtained by Punchbowl News. The flyer noted that each guest can donate up to $57,800 to the Abdul for Michigan Victory Fund. The out-of-state big-money...

Democrat Senate candidate Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed is polling weaker than other statewide Democrats in Michigan, recent surveys revealed. An Emerson College poll looked at the races and showed Michigan likely voters choosing El-Sayed over Republican candidate Mike Rogers by two percentage points – 48 percent to Rogers’ 46 percent. However, the results for the governor’s race are far more decisive in favor of the Democrat candidate, Jocelyn Benson, who sees 49 percent support. Republican John James sees 42 percent support — a seven percent gap. Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, noted the “substantial educational divide in the...

Former Vice President Kamala Harris plans to campaign with Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan next week in the party’s latest push to unify voters in a key battleground state that will help determine control of the Senate. Harris and El-Sayed have spoken multiple times since she endorsed the progressive Democrat after his primary victory, but this is the first time they’ll appear publicly together. Harris and El-Sayed will attend a roundtable focused on Black maternal health on Tuesday, according to his campaign spokesperson. El-Sayed is a doctor and the former head of health departments in Detroit and Wayne...

William Lawrence, the Democratic nominee for a competitive House seat in Michigan, has called for a "world without borders" and to "redistribute all the land and all the money" to make up for America's "evil deeds." The former Democratic Socialist—who left the party this summer—made the comments less than two years ago. He is now downplaying those and other extremist comments as just "thinking out loud on the internet." Lawrence, a cofounder of the confrontational environmentalist group the Sunrise Movement, which has called for a "climate revolution," embraced the far-left positions on redistribution and open borders in an Oct. 22,...

Only if they vote for him. It's pretty obvious he's a phony. The Democrats' crazy train just keeps coming, each boxcar a wonderland of leftist lunacy. Michigan's swing 7th District has gotten a beaut, a mild-mannered J.D. Vance-looking Democrat named William Lawrence, who all of a sudden has deleted a lot of his tweets. Yeah, it's a lot of them. Hundreds. According to Mediaite: A Democratic congressional candidate is distancing himself from now-deleted social posts in which he cheered for open borders, promoted a Democratic Party “civil war,” and blasted the nuclear family as part of a “violent way or...

Only moments ago, Justice Brett Kavanaugh denied Americans for Citizen Voting–Michigan’s (ACVM) emergency request that the U.S. Supreme Court order their proof-of-citizenship and photo-ID constitutional amendment onto Michigan’s November 3 ballot. The ACVM group had collected more than 700,000 signatures—well above the 446,198 required number to appear on the ballot. Staff members of the Michigan Board of Elections allegedly took a “random“ sampling of 1,000 signatures and determined that 17 did not meet the required standard. The problem is, the Michigan Board of Elections, which is under the direction of Michigan’s dirty Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, sat on the...

Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed loved the Green New Deal, which is economic poison for his state’s economy. That’s why he tried to bury his tweets supporting it, though it’s not shocking given his far-left views. Okay, it’s not the most earth-shattering news that El-Sayed is a green socialist, but he’s been haggled over his support for Hasan Piker and his virulent antisemitic views, and the concerns of Jewish voters, which his campaign has handled miserably. Black and Jewish voters are the two largest minority voting blocs in the state, and they hate this guy. But there’s another headache...

“My comments may have been misconstrued to justify something I did not mean to justify,” El-Sayed told reporters after he addressed the caucus at a party convention in Lansing. “To anyone who feels like my comments might have been hurtful, I’m really sorry. That was not my intention.” El-Sayed’s apology was his latest attempt to unify Democrats after a bitter primary where he defeated U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens. He’s eager to push past a series of controversies involving allegations of antisemitism, including his association with controversial commentator Hasan Piker. He faces Republican nominee Mike Rogers in a race that will...

Call it pay for pray. Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed will appear at a "clergy round table" this week with a black Detroit pastor to whom the El-Sayed campaign has quietly paid $82,500 for "strategic consulting," part of a gambit to help the far-left Democrat shore up his anemic support from black voters. Horace Sheffield, the pastor of New Destiny Christian Fellowship and father of Detroit's mayor, will host the event with El-Sayed at his church on Wednesday. The Ecumenical Ministers Alliance, Sheffield's nonprofit, is listed as an organizer of the event. It comes as El-Sayed and Sheffield have faced...

On Monday, the Democrat nominee for Senate in Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed, appeared on Jesse Watters' show on Fox. You had to figure that was going to be an interesting exchange, and you would be right. El-Sayed was slick, but ultimately that backfired. He kept trying to talk over Watters. When asked about abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), El-Sayed claimed that we used to have the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). Watters had to explain to him that yes, INS did the same things as ICE. Yes, they carried guns, apprehended illegal aliens, and removed them. Back then, however, you...
