🚨 A new poll from Zenith Research — on behalf of Common Defense, fielded from 6/11-14 among n=602 likely general election voters in Michigan — finds Democrat Abdul El-Sayed in a strong position in a matchup against Republican Mike Rogers.
In addition to having a higher vote share vs. Rogers than McMorrow or Stevens, El-Sayed brings unique coalitional advantages to the general election — and Stevens brings unique vulnerabilities.

🧵
The difference between El-Sayed and Stevens’ vote shares — 45% and 43%, respectively — appears to be due to Stevens’ relative unpopularity among voters who self-identify as “very progressive or liberal.”
31% of progressive/liberal voters hold a “strongly unfavorable” view of Stevens, with several saying they would stay home or vote third party if she was the Democratic nominee — including some citing her ties to AIPAC as the driving cause, which coincides with AIPAC taking a more active role in the campaign in recent weeks.
26% of very progressive/liberal voters say they would be undecided if Stevens was the nominee (4% of these voters say they would be undecided if El-Sayed was the nominee).

In matchups against Rogers, El-Sayed outperforms McMorrow & Stevens among very progressive/liberal voters, voters ages 18-29, renters & those who say they are more of a supporter of progressive causes/the progressive movement than the Democratic Party.
El-Sayed & McMorrow both outperform Stevens in “college counties” (Washtenaw, Ingham & Kalamazoo — home to UMich, Michigan State & WMU, respectively) and among independents.
McMorrow outperforms El-Sayed & Stevens among those who say healthcare is one of the two most important issues to their vote.

If those guys from last night are still here and reading this I am most likely going to skip walking to the Willowbrook Communication Police office tonight and I think I am going straight here and sit on the grassy bit it's a pretty nice field if not I'll go alone like always 😁

If you can pass a cardiac workup, a clear chest scan, and a standard blood panel, and still lose your breath crossing a parking lot, the problem is almost never in the organs those tests check.

Large arteries fine. Oxygen saturation reads normal on the finger. And yet oxygen is not reaching the tissue needing it.

3/7 The gap sits in the smallest vessels, the capillaries so narrow that red cells pass single file.
After COVID, the lining of those vessels can stay inflamed and sticky. Tiny clots too small for most routine scans crowd the spaces where oxygen crosses into muscle.

Allah describes a mindset in the Qur’an that keeps a person stuck in life if they don’t change it.
A life of delay.
A life of “later.”
They stay stuck because they keep negotiating with tomorrow.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Take advantage of five before five…”
(youth before old age, health before sickness, wealth before poverty, free time before busyness, life before death)

Taswīf (التسويف) - the habit of “later”
The scholars described it as constantly delaying what should be done today.
In real life, it looks like:
• waiting for motivation
• overthinking instead of acting
• “I’ll start when I’m ready”

⭕️🧵WHAT'S NEXT FOR THE US AND ISRAEL? A new axis of evil has just formed before our eyes: Iran, Qatar, Pakistan, and Turkey. Shockingly, Trump now fully supports them and considers them allies. Israel's security concerns are no longer a priority for Trump; he cares little for Israel. Let’s examine the fronts Israel is fighting on, along with my predictions for each:
📌 Iran: Israel will return to covert warfare, fighting the regime from within and continuing to damage its terror infrastructure, eliminating key IRGC figures, and seeking to destabilize the leadership. The Mossad will assume a leading role, operating beyond the use of IDF jets.
📌 Lebanon: Israel will accelerate the destruction of all terrorist infrastructure and villages along the Israeli border to prevent Hezbollah from reestablishing positions and launching another 10/7-style attack. Trump will force Israel to withdraw in order to preserve his surrender deal with Iran. Israel, however, will strike in Lebanon on its own terms after any withdrawal.
@nuckster_19 @akxiiii00___ @surreyps @akxiiii00___ if you were a true supporter you would support them no matter what..... You are pathetic and you are a gawd damn joke..... I am sorry my amazing @surreyps you gotta deal with assholes such as this ugly biiiiiiiiiiotch

Breaking down $MELI's updated investor presentation 👇
Notice the aggressive decoupling of the fintech arm from the core e-commerce marketplace. Unique retail buyers grew by 20% to 126M, but Fintech Monthly Active Users accelerated faster at 29% to hit 83M. Pago is a standalone financial utility. By absorbing the massive unbanked and underbanked populations of Latin America, they drastically expanded their TAM far beyond standard retail consumers.
This structural shift is actively creating monetization efficiency. $MELI reached a massive $31.8B in net revenue driven by a 49% CAGR since 2020. This heavily outpaces base user growth. Mercado Libre is extracting significantly more cash from each active user over time. They are locking consumers into a closed-loop system of credit, payments, and logistics, relentlessly driving up the LTV of their existing base.

They are locking consumers into a closed-loop system of credit, payments, and logistics, relentlessly driving up the LTV of their existing base.
Notice the massive spread between $MELI's e-commerce GMV and Acquiring TPV. E-commerce GMV sits at $71B, but Acquiring TPV is nearly 3x larger at $204B! By dominating QR codes and in-store payments, they are capturing a massive share of offline and 3P transactions.
This multi-engine structure creates an impenetrable data advantage. The massive $204B in payment volume acts as a proprietary data feed to more accurately underwrite the $15B credit portfolio. While traditional regional banks rely on lagging credit bureaus, Mercado Libre uses real-time cash flow data from its merchants and consumers to issue loans and manage default risk.
By layering high-margin businesses like Credit and Ads on top of sticky utility services like Logistics and Payments, Mercado Libre locks users into a walled garden and drives maximum lifetime profitability.

$MELI is capturing a disproportionate share of every new digital dollar spent in the region.
Closing the decade of the 60's, CCR do an European tour for the first time. The outcome was epic, in line with earlier, similar experiences with Dylan, Hendrix, The Byrds, and the Grateful Dead soon to follow in 1972. A awakening for European audiences.
The Royal Albert Hall performances on April 14 and 15, 1970, are of historic proportions. No special effects, just instruments, amplifiers and John Fogerty playing and singing non-stop, literally in front of the audience.
Tonight: Trump is making America less safe just so he can rig future elections as he delays the confirmation vote of his ODNI nominee in an attempt to squeak voter suppression legislation through the Senate. Democracy Docket founder @marceelias joins The Weeknight to respond.
Plus: @SenBlumenthal joins the table to discuss Trump's failure to defend the so-called "memorandum of understanding" with Iran, and the peace that may never come in the Middle East.
And, House Oversight Dems are threatening Acting AG Blanche to tell the truth after the cmte's discovery that Ghislane Maxwell's low-security prison transfer was authorized without involving the jail's warden. @RepSuhas joins The Weeknight to break it down.
Thread 🧵
Every time the public was misled about the India FTA
1/10
National's own 'misinformation' post is ironically laden with misinformation:
"Total number are capped..."
This claim completely ignores uncapped student and 'Specialist' visas.
"Doctors" have no visa pathway in the India FTA but Yoga Instructors do.
"Does not grant automatic for family members to enter"
False. Annex 8K Section F explicitly states: "New Zealand shall allow the entry and temporary stay of the partner and any dependent children."
"The FTA [is not about] importing labour from India"
False. Annex 8K creates uncapped pathways for executives, managers, and specialists with no labour market test. Annex 8F uncaps students with locked-in work rights. India's own government called it "unprecedented mobility pathways for Indian students and professionals."

McClay: But it also does not restrict future governments from creating a cap should they wish to.
FTA text: Annex 8F uncapped students.
When pressed by the Herald who secretly obtained a copy of the text, he finally conceded the agreement would prohibit New Zealand from imposing a cap on Indian student visa numbers specifically.

Luxon doubles down "The agreement doesn't restrict us from making any decisions." Asked again: "No." Herald: "The text of the agreement says the opposite."
